How do people solve these puzzles in less than one minute?

I just don't see how it would be physically possible to move all the cards around in less than one minute?

It is definitely physically possible but it does take some work. First you need to note that the timer stops once you've emptied the deck and turned over every card. So you don't have to physically move every card. It's physically possible to click multiple times a second, so the 100 or more times you may have to click is quite possible under a 60 seconds. Now the key however is to do it without hesitation, therefore it usually requires playing the game enough times that you have it reasonably memorized. I've found that with age the wear and tear on your clicking hand can be uncomfortable. With a little practice and determination though it is quite possible.

I agree with you Dutchie i dont see how it is possible either. My sister that is 20 says that she and her friends can do it in 30 seconds. I don't understand how it is possible!

Hi princess and glad you've joined us. Does your sister play on this site? The last person I recall who did 30 seconds was a guy by the name of @fraug. But he hasn't been around for some time.

It seems that someone would have to use computer enhancement to play a HARD game
in under a minute. With eye-hand coordination what it is for an older person, it takes just
about 3 minutes to do an EASY game. This FAST FINGER technique or whatever it
is takes the FUN out of playing for me. 100 years from now, what difference will it all
make, anyway? Glad you asked the question! Are we people or robots?

Oh, how does one THANK the people who are listed as FANS?

No computer enhancements except maybe a good mouse and a good working browser, but the important thing is to play it the way you enjoy most. @don1 the best way to say thank you is to become a fan of them. Click on their name which will take you to their profile and click on the "Become a fan" link.

I believe (can't prove it) that those who are so fast are using desk top computers with lots of memory and speed. We who use laptops must be satisfied with low moves. The problem is that I can't get either.

It's to my understanding (haven't tried it) but with a laptop with a mouse you can play up to speed. I've played. Without a mouse (I have tried that), I agree, forget it (as far as speed)

I find that it can be a challenge when you are playing this game using the internet channel from your wii console.

I play on an old Dell Dimension 3000/Pentium 4 CPU, 2.8 Ghz, with only 512 MB RAM.
I play ok with memorization that comes only with repetition of each game.
play over and over and over and it gets faster.
I also listen to music. RnR or Jazz or Blues, no easy listening or classical.
Keeps my mind, eyes, fingers and hands moving. lol
