As of a minute ago, 2,135 games had been finished out of 37,121 plays.Īll the card games are built such that it starts with an ordered deck, shuffles it, then deals it as the rules dictate.
I saved you the trouble for today's game. It's safe to assume that you're the only one to do that, so your "place" minus 1 equals the number of completed games. If you're ever curious how many of the plays went to completion, carefully play up each card until you have one king left. And as far as I'm aware, all of those plays get counted. Bottom line, I probably invest about 15-30 minutes in the GotD.īut back to your question, yeah, I and a handful of other players who are chasing low times account for hundreds if not thousands of 30-40,000 plays the. The vast majority of all those attempts are in the phase where I've settled on a fast solution and I'm just trying to book a fast time-repeatedly in the case where I'm logging scores under several usernames expressly for the purpose of pushing one particularly obnoxious fan of a certain still more obnoxious individual off of the leader board. And it wouldn't surprise me if I restarted mid-game over 200 times. Great question For the Game of the Day, I'd guess I play it to completion at least 40-50 times. I would be really interested to see your comments on Forty Thieves, have you tried it? I won a game tonight- the first this week!!!! You are playing a computer game, hence my suggestion that there be two leader boards.įor myself, I almost always score better on the number of moves then on time taken, I feel that's the right way.

(I have to say also that I have never seen you post a score over 10secs!! ) People have been complaining for ever about the impossibility of completing the number of moves in the time registered in some of the winning scores, and of course they are correct, it is impossible to play 100 moves in 8 secs playing Free Cell i.e. You are playing a different game to the classic Free Cell, your aim is to find the fastest way to complete the transfer of cards but hand/eye co-ordination must account for 50% of the time posted and you need the computer to super move the cards, that isn't possible with Free Cell played physically with a pack of cards, which is what the game is about, in my opinion. I actually prefer those challenging games to easy ones that I can complete within 20 seconds of seeing the Thanks for clarifying your methods. I'm not close to being the fastest player hereabouts.) Of course, occasionally a tough game comes up where the solution takes longer than 1:30, and finding the solution might take 10 minutes or more. (I hope that doesn't come across as bragging. It's not unusual for me to spend less than a minute on a game and record a time of less than 30 seconds. I sometimes restart a given game a few times as I hunt for a good opening gambit, but even with that bit of probing I typically finish a game in less than two minutes. When I play "regular" games (which is rare these days), I fly much faster, only very rarely playing game to conclusion more than once. Note that I go through that process only for the game of the day. Once I've settled on a solution with potential for high speed, I practice it, rapidly improving how fast I can complete it-and often refining the steps along the way.
That's trying out different avenues, partly to find one that works, but mostly hunting for one that lends itself to maximizing power moves. The first 2-5 minutes I referred to is spent playing the game, not analyzing the board. I still have a bit of crow feather stuck in my Sorry, I must not have been clear enough. Worth noting that I was guilty of essentially the same mistake on this very site. If you want to see just how easy it can be to go under the 10 second bar, check out this thread:Īnd a little free advice, for getting along with folks on social media (and in the real world, I guess): start by asking how something is accomplished rather than asserting that it can't be done and accusing those who can do what you ignorantly consider impossible of being cheaters. Back when I was obsessed with booking the fastest score I could achieve, the real challenge was breaking the 4-6 second barrier (depending on the game, of course). These days, that's good enough to achieve my goal of knocking a player who's unnaturally fond of a certain political figure-and insistent about waving his flag-off of the top 10 list for the Game of the Day. Over the course of practicing and honing that solution for about another 5 minutes minutes, I'm almost always down in the 8-10 second range. I can typically find a fast solution within 2-5 minutes. Once you master power moves, 8 seconds on a tablet is not remotely impossible on most games.
