Title: Hard board problems
Post by: Andy Harris on November 12, 2009, 09:25:07 pm: Check out James O'connors board problems on Vimeo. There's some awfully big nos (up to V14) with lots of campus style things at V12!!

Either these problems aren't as hard as they look or this waif is mighty strang!

Some v. school esque looking pinching.

I don't have any problem believing those grades when those two are involved!
