There's a real-pic solution to the cast COIL puzzle.

Great job! Your write-up points out that the solution consists almost entirely of rotations (except for the first and last translation moves), which I didn't realize when I found the solution myself. This fact will help me to remember it, as there are all kinds of translations that can be done in the middle, followed by more rotations, but these are all dead ends.

The second rotation in your solution is the one that I always have trouble finding. It is the only one that depends on the difference between the pieces, I believe. So if you have the roles of gold and silver reversed, it isn't even possible.
