that was definiely HARD - hi everyone, I'm new to the site - I enjoy your comments and they really help! Thanks!

PaBaldy Among other things, machines don't know how to play Go well--yet.

I looked at the page Xip now I will have to ask my grandson to translate it into english. I was able to grasp the concept that klondike has no mathmatical theory that will work better than what we already know. Yeah for us we finally beat the machine.

fizzbut That's right: Solitaire seems to have resisted mathematical analysis. Here's a link: http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathtrek_7_5_99.html

Changed my mind. I think I'll go for speed now and accuracy later...

And don't put the three of diamonds up, that moves the 2 spades onto it, and opens up that pile.

Okay, I went nuts with all the clues. Bottom line, Black king first before and red kings, and don't use the red queen in the deck. Use the red queen in the far right pile and then it's not tricky at all.

Uhmmm, four minutes and 175 moves with just the 8 clue only... I'm signing off for now. This one can DEFINITELY wait!!!

I'm not so sure about that 57 FC, though I appreciate your vote of confidence. It looks like this one might have to wait until I have more of my wits about me...

Oh, it's serious, all right!! Good luck! I'm sure you'll breeze through!
