YAY just finished my 2nd medium game feeling really proud

PUT 9 ON 10, NOT 9

BTW all my posted times are honest, even my 45 second game. It took me playing it 63 times to hit that one. Then couldn’t hit it again to save my life.

I must have too much time on my hands. Believe me there is on better way to pass time than to do this. I really believe we all need something to challenge us.

Hey 57! Yes I have checked out your series of posts on “Solitaire 101.” Excellent work indeed! Yep I typed an 8 followed by ). It seems Chrome is fast enough for me.

FYI the other day while being logged out I set up a keylogging/mouse recording program on game #2334 and recorded the mouse movements I used to solve it. Then while not being logged in so the game time would not be posted I tweaked the playback times. The fastest time I could get the computer to play out the game was 10 seconds. Problems start arising if you don’t have enough dwell time when placing a card. I found that 2 one hundredths of a second is the bare minimum. Anything less won’t work. So my setup is faster than I can possibility play. I’m also a 12 mbs fiber optics connection playing on a old Pentium 4. If that makes a difference.

Hi, MrWabbit ! Love your name !! I think the combination of the number 8 followed by the parenthesis ) comes out as a smiley face. As for the browser, many of us use Mozilla Firefox. You might want to check it out to see if you like it better than Google Chrome. Also, I wanted to make sure that you (and other newcomers) saw my post about "Solitaire 101" on the Forum. It's sort of an orientation for the website. There's also "Solitaire 101 - Fastest Times" and "Solitaire 101 - History".

I have no idea why that smiley face came up.

For what it is worth to anyone who may want to know. I just tried to play this game in another browser (Internet Explorer than the one I usually use (Google Chrome). I had all kind of problems. There is no way I can get good times with IE8. The browser makes a BIG difference!

Hi Everyone -- Slowpoke ( 5:06 ) on this Tuesday in Baltimore, MD -- Knit 01

I’m beginning to think I need to find a SPA (Solitaire Players Anonymous) meeting somewhere.

That's ok Donna, I can't seem to get anywhere faster than 129. As for moves, i'm stuck on 128!!
