+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Is it even worth publishing? can the problem be totally solved?
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ More maps? (a map is a {road length} × {initial stone count} pair)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Leagues? I could conceive the referee being permissive
+ (allow 0 stones thrown) in the first one, and then strict.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Fog of war? (see only troll position, not enemy throw/stones left)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>variable</strong> for of war? (seeing enemy stones
+ is a boolean decided randomly as part of the map?
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ alternative fog of war? (seeing enemy stones only when
+ troll is close to us?)

+ Praise for my artistic skillz

+ Other remarks?
