Let me know if you solve #41. |

Found some time Mike.
Have saved it too. A more competitive person would have told you it was unwinnable. |

Richard, wasn't it the Who who sang, "We won't get fooled again"? I don't see anywhere in your Screenshot where that was CANFIELD 3 #41 that was saved! (And when you get time maybe you can regale us with tales of your Teenage Wasteland. I'm sure that would be some fascinating tales!) |

I've got a lot to answer for. I've turned the poor man into a cynic.
May I refer you to Ray Price's lyrics?
Well, you tell me that you care
But now you're gone you got me cryin'
No use denyin' you done me wrong
If I could look inside your heart
Then maybe I would know the reason's
Cos you're lagging in the stats and
have 101 nightmares to confront.
Oh ye of little faith. |

There is something very ironic about the fact that I'm marooned on #40 in Climb Mode. I may be overlooking something quite simple, but I'm doing it repeatedly. |

I got #40. How did you do #41 without doing #40. And I thought you said you didn't care much for country songs. |

Mike, If you notice the screen shot, it shows #41 won in regular solitaire mode, not climb mode. |

I wish I'd waited until I'd seen your post Mike. I resigned #40 in Climb Made not that long ago. I was just going round in the same old circles. No, I'm not mad on Country songs. I always get an irresistable desire to sing along to them with lyrics made up on the hoof. I can get into enough bother without C&W provocation and incitement.
Ken noticed I'd played #41 in Solitaire Mode. Give him a few more years and he'll fail to spot things like that too. Unless it's just us! Sigh!
Holiday jaunt commencing friday 9th. Missing you guys already. |

Here's a little present to reinforce the widely held belief that I'm a very nice Scottish person.
See if you guys can find an unwinnable ordinary Canfield by the time we get back home. |

I got #41 after you said it was winnable. But I think I struck out on the next two or three. I looked to see if you played it in climb or solitaire mode. I just didn't REALLY see what I was looking at. I wish I could figure out why I tend to fall asleep playing solitaire. It plays havoc with the times. |

Talking about playing havoc....... I somehow managed to resign #41 too, after winning it in my alter ego. Jumping from one name to another and from Solitaire Mode to Climb Mode is doing my head in. I don't need to fall asleep to trash my stats. I may decide to start "Canfield 3" again from scratch at some future date. That will be after I put Josephine to bed. That little project has seen no progress recently. |
