You'd think they would have fixed Solitaire so that it doesn't deal impossible hands by now. Just sayin. It can't be that hard, can it?

I'm getting really tired of this kind of shit:



The end.

I guess it's trying to emulate the real game, in which I assume you could still be given an impossible hand just by chance. Maybe try minesweeper or Dora's World Adventure

Don't get me started on minesweeper. 2 TILES LEFT, EACH WITH AN EQUAL CHANCE OF BEING A MINE. YOU HAVE ONE MINE LEFT. CHOOSE YOUR FATE.

There are actually positions in Minesweeper where it's impossible to determine with 100% accuracy where mines and safe squares are placed (that is, there are positions where the game makes you guess between squares). It actually happened frequently enough that you'd notice it in the older versions. I think the newer versions of the game (from XP or Vista onward?) ensure that you'll always win with optimal play (that is, if you play optimally, the game won't make you guess).

But yeah, if the mines are randomly placed on the board, positions can arise that require guessing, even with optimal play.

Umm, I played minesweeper about a month ago and there were definitely points where you had to guess.

Are you sure you were playing perfectly? I'm fairly certain that was an issues addressed in the newest versions bundled with Windows.

I'm still playing minesweeper on vista, but I've managed to get my win percentage to 24%. GO ME!! (advanced of course)

If I want a challenging game I just play against the level 10 chess computer, where I have a 3% win percentage or something like that.

If you want to play another game like solitaire I would recommend freecell. Its way better, and more addictive. Its fun if your computer takes like 3 minutes to load up like mine

Microsoft Pinball was always my choice, thought I remember Spider Solitaire was fun too.
