Hello and welcome.

How are you today?

London is bathed in sunshine and all the lovely city ladies have taken advantage. They're all out in their summer dresses and high heels and short skirts and stockings (probably) and.....and......

....back in 5

5? Is that long enough for a pot noodle?

We expect a full report - with piccies...

It is the only impossible one!

Did you know that 52% of games can be done with only 2 free spaces - and 76% with 3?

Is it acknowledged as such?

I read a website on it once. Apparently alot of people create programs to solve these things!

Try doing that in VB3!

Apparently the Windows 95 version (and therefore possibly later versions) includes deals -1 and -2, which were known to be unsolvable. The infamous 11982 seems pretty likely to be unsolvable:

"I have since heard from almost two dozen players (Doug Schmieskors, Laura Ross, Martin E. Martin, Adrian Ettlinger, Freya Wieneke, John Williams, Dick Belmont, Don Rop, Morrie Hoevel, Ginger Martin, Bob Rankin, Wolfhart Wünsche, Rich Hook, Sheridan Wilson, Roberta C. Hendrickson, Emilien Fenez, Milli Stelling, Fred Lamon, Margaret Bannister, Theodore Gregg, Ken Gauvreau, Joyce DaFonte, and David B. Bowie) who have played the entire set of 32,000; most have won all but deal number 11982. 11982 has now eluded solution by probably thousands of human solvers, and at least eight independent computer programs I am aware of (most of which are designed to search exhaustively for a solution), and I am confident in calling it impossible."

How long until home time now?
