    Default Freecell Freaks

    It took me three attempts at freecell number 13043, I reckon this one is a challenge.

    When I open freecell I always let the random number game appear,
    this means that some game numbers that come up its possible to do them almost with your eyes closed, just keep placing cards in the sequence required, but if you select this particular number I thought some players would think it was a challenge.

    Thanks for your number selection, are they that difficult?

    jow104 - you b*******
    How dare you ruin my sunday morning like this.
    I too usually just play whatever game the computer wishes to taunt me with and now you threaten me with a specific number. I must be hooked or I wouldn't have gone and tried it. Grrrrrr. Those red aces are murder to get to. How can a game be so hard when the first three cards go up so quickly?

    Windows XP and previous versions provides a number of free games with the program. Freecell, Solitare, etc.

    But be warned you can waste an hour each day if you get hooked on freecell.

    I guess they do that so you can stay occupied waiting for the tech to get there to remove the viruses and spyware...

    Very funny; but seriously they originated long before virus kiddies learnt enough to write them and were originally intended to improve peoples mouse and keyboard skills.

    I usually use "Waste" time whilst awaiting Video processing software to do its thing or while long downloads to complete.

    ... will have to try the game No. in question when I get home. But I too am a freecell adict... I go for the random game approach .... I say to myself ... just one more game... and the next thing I know it is midnight ( I have in the past deleted the game off of my PC but my current version of windows has so far stopped me doing this - apparently it is an integral and vital part of the operating system (!!!) ... whatever I try to delete it doesn't work.

    For sure, for sure it can be addictive.
    Out of interest, does anyone work at their % success rate ? ours usually runs between 80 and 90 % using random game method. (Ours, being she who must be obeyed and myself.)

    sacrificed part of my lunch break to try 13043 - got the game out first go - but then I was forewarned that it might be hard so perhaps I took more care than I would have if I'd come upon it unawares
