#24. There are two doubles which is making this game maybe unwinnable: The 6D and the 7D. Is this problem solvable? |

It's not promising Markus. No joy so far. |

Gave it today another try, but no joy again. Got 79 points with my last try. |

Do you think it is unwinnable? Have you given up? |

Not yet. There must be a way to get at least the Diamonds arranged. |

My friend agrees with you.
So does his twin brother.

84 points. The problem is the order of the Diamonds in the Stock:
8D, 8D, 4D, 6D, 6D, JD, 7D, 7D, 2D, QD, QD, 5D, 5D, 10 D, 9D, 4D, KD, 10D, JD.
In the tableau is only one KD and the 9D is blocked by the 9S and there is no 10S to free the 9D in the tableau. With that, i don't see a chance for a win, because you cannot bring both 8D into the game and after that the 7D are blocking.
BUT while writing this, i just got another idea how it maybe can work. Will let you know. |

I have already won it Markus. The Yetis were a huge clue. |

I would have known, that you have won it, but your post came late or overlapped with mine, or ...
Here my last answer to this game:

Oh come on Richard. The time would have to be half of your reading. |

It's a calendar he needed Mike. Not a clock.  |

That's not a calendar Markus, that's what we call a miracle. |
