Hi Richard,
It is me again!
Ive found you another very difficult Midshipman! I have been trying for ages but I cannot crack it?
I think it is going to be a real challenge for you!

Hi Ken,
My secret is out! I hide my head in shame: this is the third game that has beaten me. Richard solved other two for me.
I am glad you know. I dont feel such a fraud now!
Thanks so much for your help.
Sue

Not at all, anytime I can help. I keep thinking Ill find one I cant win. I have had a couple of hard ones lately. I love to play the hard ones so thx for the post. Im at 1219 wins but Im still having trouble getting my computer to post wins. Ill copy them to a cd at some point and try from another computer.
Keep them coming, will admit I played it under another name till I could see if it was winnable.....

Well I cant lose with you & Richard both rooting for me. Thkx again for your help. It would be great if there was a comment column on win list where I could add a credit to you.
I am in awe of you reaching 1219 without a single loss. Have you found a game that is not winnable yet?
Do you select which game to play or play random choices?

I might have known it would be you who'd come up with something like this Ken. It's a horror story. If we can figure out how to get one of the three consecutive red threes into play early on then it may be winnable. How we are going to go about this is quite another story. |

Got one of them in but it was the 2D not one of the 2H's. Only a slight improvement. |

I have the 2H in play quite early, with just 12 of a waste. We have got builders in so I can't get any peace. Hope to get back to it later. |

Well done Ken. I expect I'd have done better if I wasn't trying to play in a building site. Can't concentrate at all. I did manage to get both 2H's into play even earlier than I thought possible, with just 9 in the waste. See if you can win it from this direction too. I think I'm going to hit the pub! |

Those brown beverages are called beers Ken.Beers,beers,beers,beers! Just one is not allowed. The ones I drink most are indeed "Best", Belhaven Best. The pub we go to a lot beside Edinburgh serves "Real Ales", brewed in the traditionsl manner. They add a new "guest ale" every week. Glad I'm not a lager man. Ha! lager is not a banned word. Looks like Thomas doesn't class those as beers. |
