On the 2nd board, 'ice' can be found at position [3 3 1] as tested in the suite, but also at position [2 2 3]. It'd be better to remove the ambiguity.

This solution would fail in certain boards. Can you add such a board to your testsuite?... this is a new variant of Cody: create a problem for the problem-creator... :)

Mr. Grant should take your quest... on that way maybe I reach the "leader score" for this problem! :-P
