Is #14 really unwinnable? |

No, just 3. #12 is winnable.
Gregg won 13 out of 19, so i had to give then another try, because i had 11 out of 18. |

I should have been sneaky and consulted the stats first, but I never do.It's always an advantage knowing if a game is winnable beforehand. |

VERY sneaky Markus! You asked if a game you'd already won was winnable! |

No, Richard, i did win it after clearing the stats and playing all 14 games again. I had #12 as a looser. When i have reached #18, i compared with Gregg and saw, i had done worse, so i restarted over from #1 and could this time win #12. #2, #5 and #9.
You could have seen it on the time: Today 19:01. I won #14 today 18:12. And the + shows you the climb mode.
Interesting you didn't see that. Have you been at the pub? ;-) |

Markus...."today" is not a date. The "today" that you mentioned when you won #12 could have been several days ago. Nobody has an idea when you took the screenshot. The "today" for #14 is not necessarily Sept.12th either. It's a pretty silly way to record the date. I never pay any attention to it.
You appear to be saying you have now won #2, #5 and #9? There is only one move that can be made in #9. It CANNOT be won. You are not using Tarot cards are you? |

Sorry, i didn't want to say, that i won #2. #5 and #9. The sentence isn't finished. I wanted to say, that they are bad eggs.
Tarot? SURELY NOT!!!
The today is right the day you are playing it. But it change at once into yesterday, when it is the next day you are playing (look at my post from September 12, 2010 - 10:15 am).
That would have meant, i have played it some days behind, would have made the screenshot to post the very sneaky message above?!? I am mad, but not so mad.
BTW, i didn't found sneaky. But i can guess, what it should mean.
Another btw: i have won 12 out of 15, that means, when Gregg is right, then there is one winner out of the next 4 games. Will try them today eves, when i find time. |

When it was not #16, then it must be #19. Have to go to work now. Grrrr... |

I knew you had made a typing error with #2 etc. The only way they could be won is if you discovered a bug. I tried that too and failed.
Tarot cards! Black magic and mumbo-jumbo. Some people actually pay good money for a "reading". They just get robbed by liars.
The "today" and "yesterday" bit is irritating (in my opinion). Just for a bit of fun you could take a screenshot today of #100 for example, and another one tomorrow of #101 and appear to have won #101 in about a second (in time). They would both say "today" but the time difference would be tiny. Now that is a good example of someone being sneaky.
I have won one of the group 16-19. I could tell you that it was #16, but you would then be asking yourself "Is Richard just being sneaky?". |

Richard, i know it must be #19, because i tried every possibility with #16. #17 and #18 are sure unwinnable. They have only a few possible moves.
Will solve #19 today eves. I am covered with work. My chief is ill and i am his "assisstant" (?). (I know it is not the right word, but i remember no better word.) |

It is #19 Markus. I know you'll solve it. The English idiom is "up to my eyes with work". Assistant is absolutely correct. "Deputy" would be another good description. |

I found now in my dictionary representative, deputy and proxy. Deputy should be the word in my case but i am glad, that assistant is also correct.
Have still to work now. Hope i find some minutes later. It have to be #19, because i played already #16 up to #18 and gave them a loss, and i don't want to start again once over (?). |

#20 is giving me problems. I can get a column free, but it does not help to win it. 7 points so far. |

I know. The position i stopped yesterday and asked for it was already a winning position. It took me today from there (just 2 undos) only about 30 seconds. Don't ask, why i didn't see it yesterday. (I know your answer!) |

8 is my maximum too. Just one move away from being winnable. |

Strange one. #30. I can score 18 points and have one column free, but still one cell missing. Is it really unwinnable? |

Frustrating. Did it the first time i tried again and it was so easy. But as you can see: no patience.

Again frustrating: #51. 10 points and one column free, but no chance so far to win it. Is it really unwinnable? |

I got #59 already (it is a post from october), but am still working on #71. As you can see on my question, i was quite sure, that it is winnable, but got stuck always with the same problems. |

I agree, not difficult. Don't ask, why i didn't see it. Maybe those three hours of playing with the snow outside to get my car free. |
