I'm not the first one on this. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/i5qvha/faux_hollow_solver/ by u/_Bedo_

First off, I wanted to create a little friendlier UI that's also a little more appealing. At least I hope it is. I've never done web programming...
I took a little bit of a different approach for my strategies. Though I ended up using brute force the same as Bedo's. However, my algorithm brute forces every possible combination of all three illustrations. This way I can create a map of the probability that an illustration occupies a space. This introduces another assumption though. That all three illustrations will show up on every board.
Without doing all this, the naive approach to finding the Fox, for example, would be to just randomly guess. But if we know all the possible configurations of the board, you find that some spaces are more likely than others.
The first strategy listed finds the probability that ANY illustration will appear in a given space.
The weighted strategy is similar but gives different weight to different outcomes.
The other three strategies show the individual map of probabilities for the given illustration.
In my testing using the first strategy, the most misses I've seen is two before finding a full illustration. That's some very limited testing though. I finished the algorithm yesterday before rushing to get my weekly caps done.
If there's any issues with the tool, or if you have any suggestions for me, let me know!
