In case this helps anyone, I did put the 7 on the 8 as Pa said, BUT I had played the 8 on the 9 (and the 8 on the 9). That way, the 9 is free to play up as soon as you play up the 7,8,9.

Well, "6 *had* to come down . . . you get the idea!

I started to try that, too, Donna, but was so stuck on the idea that the 6 HA to come down to play the 5 on it that I abandoned the idea. Just curious, if you were at 140, how come this only brought you down to 139? I went from 141 to 139 because, as I said, it saved me two moves.

Thanks a million Hamlette!!!! I even tried that and it didn't work..I must have chickened out half way through the move or something. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeah 20/20 hindsight is amazing isn't it lol

Yep, two major moves. It's so easy to see now, of course!

WOW, Hamlette! That did the trick!! I'm not sure how that saved me two whole moves, but it did! I'll have to do it again. Thank you, thank you!

try 6

Done it two more times... can't figure out what can't come down. Oh well.

As Pa and Bruce would say, it's what you don't bring down. Near the end.

It seems the lowest are off to dinner. Leaving the rest of us starving for move !
