Knutson's two-step Littlewood–Richardson puzzle conjecture

From papers

Let α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma be strings indexing Schubert classes in the two-step flag variety, and let cα,βγc^{\gamma}_{\alpha,\beta} denote the corresponding two-step Littlewood–Richardson number. Knutson's two-step Littlewood–Richardson puzzle conjecture. The number cα,βγc^{\gamma}_{\alpha,\beta} equals the number of puzzles with sides α\alpha, β\beta, and γ\gamma, filled with the puzzle pieces specified in the source. This conjecture generalizes the geometric Littlewood–Richardson puzzle rule from the Grassmannian to two-step flag varieties; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
