Sorry I missed 5 plays straight up.

Thank you Fizzbut - I wasn't smart enough to get the lowest possible score with your final specially adapted 'Solitaire for dummies' tip but I did get my moves down a good bit.

joe, with the K first and K 2nd you should be able to play diamonds up to 8 which should free hearts up to 6 which will expose the 5.

I'm so glad for those of you who figured out the puzzle within the puzzle. I can't. Fizz, you are brilliant for both figuring these out and then for teasing us with just enough to help us but not enough that it becomes cookie cutter. And yes, it keeps me awake. With K first also 9 first? If so I can't seem to get at the 5 in the 7th pile? With K 1st and K second and all four of your mentioned cards 4 6 7 and *D playing straight up, I still get 128...one more clue please...in any form you desire...

Thanks fizzbut. I couldn't have done it without your clues!

WTG Nack!

Yep. I now have a giant hole in the celing.

If I actually make it to 124, I'll get so excited I'll jump through the celing.

You do very well fizzbut the trick is for us to stay awake late enough LOL .. and yes you are right too Nack A puzzle within the puzzle... Night night all.. as Ber says..chat ye later

Interpreting the clues is a puzzle in and of itself.
