afaict the conditional is needed only for 3.7.x, the 3.8.0-beta.2 works without.

question re code - NSuccesses only gets updated after all prisoners have looked
at their boxes?  wondering, ought that not be something like:

  #if (!MatchFound)  // fail
    #break
  #else
    // add to NSuccesses
  #end

also re the "Dummy" making a difference, have looked for, but cannot find, a
link to a story I read a few years ago; in a Californian chip foundry they used
an AI to optimise a chip design, and that (then, too) had a single unconnected
diode in the layout which, when removed, stopped everything working, no
explanation was given :-).

regards, jr.
