This is one of the new possible maps for Sokoban Level 1 in Nethack Fourk and Level 2 in Hack'EM. It has 12 boulders and 10 holes, leaving 2 spare boulders.

Strategy

All boulders are replaced by letters so they can be referred to. Moving the boulders is shortened to r for right, l for left, u for up, d for down. An asterisk is used to denote the last move filled a pit (and thus removed the boulder from the game). So "N ddrr*" means move boulder N two times down and two times to the right into a pit.
