Pity he posted it as an unopenable .txt document, but I managed to solve it nonetheless. He did well to win it though as I've played many far easier deals than this one. 👍️
Hints..... With auto play turned off you can control which of the cards from the waste pile you accept into the tableau. There is no urgency to play any card up to the foundations. Always contrive to have a few such moves in reserve thereby enabling you to introduce the most useful cards into the tableau from the waste pile.
Special hint ....... #1 would probably be unwinnable unless you do a small piece of strategic forward planning because of the final two cards from the reserve.
Drag the 5S from the foundation onto the 6D in the tableau. Then the 5C from the reserve can be played onto the foundation.
There is no way on planet Earth that Stop can be classed as 2 Decks. Medium (5%). Mostly Luck. Realistically I believe it should be Very Hard (2%) Skill Luck balanced.
#984093440 is my latest winner.
The other "winner" in those stats would appear to have been by using the unshuffled deck and must have read Played 5, Won 1, Lost 4. Somewhat skews the overall percentage won.
Richard, I wanted to let you know that I played your winning number of #1 for Sixty Bandits. I always have to laugh when you say it is straightforward because YOUR idea of straightforward and MY idea of straightforward are two different things but in this case you were right. That game was a lot of fun and it was straightforward. Thanks for the winning number!
BTW, do you have a winning number for Sixty Thieves? I can’t seem to find it. CHEERS.

Are you all done, Richard? Because I didn’t want to let your Herculean task go unlauded😀
"Whilst the end may be the "end" Ken, it would be accurate to say that I have yet to add a full "Stop" to it", he responded cryptically.
I have finally put a STOP to it. 😊
