Helo, I've written algorithm in Mathematica for a summer homework on Loyd's puzzle 15. I've used back-tracing, i.e. exhaustive search method for it, because nothing else came on my mind. It turned out, it's extremlly slow (especially for boards larger than 3x3). I post here to ask anybody for a good tip on the subject matter. Thanks, Borut L.
