That's an odd post, considering you wrote this after the solutions were posted. Still, there's nothing stopping you from trying it.
I managed to make it in just two main burns, flytandem's solution was a 4 burn one, but saved more fuel.
Ajaja's single burn solution was one of the most impressive -not fuelwise-, but didn't quite make it.

Even if the challenge is solved, there's nothing stopping you from doing it better. I think we'd all love to see that happen.

It took almost 1 1/2 years, but - with the help of Ajaja's posts- I found a way to complete this challenge with a single burn solution.

I used TransX to find the window and IMFD to make the trip.

Video Tutorial comming up by next Tuesday .
For now, here is the scenario, 2 minutes before the burn. You wiil need to download IMFD 5.5 from this page.

Press the BV and then the AB buttons on the right MFD and after the burn is complete, refine it by using the linear thrusters and watching the PeA line on the left MFD.

After leaving the Earth-Moon system, you'll have about 30 m/s of dV to make corrections. You'll hit the Martian atmosphere with about than half of that.
