Mona Lisa TSP Challenge

I totally missed the announcement of the Mona Lisa TSP Challenge (100K cities) last month.  My apologies.

An optimal solution to the 100,000-city Mona Lisa instance would set a new world record for the TSP. If you have ideas for producing good tours or for showing that a solution is optimal, this is a very nice challenge problem! I would be happy to report any computational results you obtain on this example.

Check out the neat TSP art and domino art by Bob Bosch, even if you don’t work on the challenge.
