I tied my high of 45 consecutive wins today. I lost the 46th &*(^%)$# game can you believe that? Anywho, I’m at %87 after 600+ games. Anybody else play it as competitively as I do?
My mom sits behind me and plays freecell while I read the SDMB… thik she has about 10000 games played… her best streak as ofyet is 32 wins… but hey, she’s my mom.

They’re all solvable, so you can’t lose, all you can do is just give up.
Anyway, my scoring thing is totally up the boohai, so I can’t keep track. I’m pretty good at it, anyway.

I can’t figure that game out. I mean, I’ve tried it, but I can never get very far before they say, “Sorry, there are no more legal moves.”
Minesweeper is my bag.

His hair is as dark as a blackboard,

My streak is 5. my average is 24% but then I’ve only played 400 and some games so not too many but I find it to be an interesting game.

I disagree with GuanoLad’s statement that they are all solvable. No firm data, just gut feeling that some of them were losers from the get go.
“I’ll tell him but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. He’s already got one, you see!”
Well… okay, maybe they aren’t. But there are some that seem so totally unsolvable, even after about 15 tries, and then I take a dramatically different tack and manage to do it. And it says in the rules that the game is, as far as they know, always solvable.

Although I do give up occasionally, I’m certain that they ARE all solveable. Most of the games I’ve lost because I let myself get backed into a corner (or I was looking at the wrong color.) Anywho, most of the games I’ve lost I’ve Restarted (which if you lose then it doesn’t count against you the second time) and figured out what I did wrong. Good luck everybody.
Winning streak - 61
Win percentage - 83%
It’s not too hard to come up with an unsolveable starting position. how likely that is, and whether all the starting positions the game will ever come up with are solvable are a different question. Every time I’ve been unable to win, I write down the number so I can try again. I never was unable to eventually win.
It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.
My longest winning streak was 83, I think. My winning percentage is usually in the mid-90s.
On Minesweeper, my best times are 9, 44, and 140 seconds on the three levels.
I played a lot more of both games before discovering the SDMB; now I can’t afford other time-sinks.

My longest win streak was 162. And game 163 killed me! I saw just what I had done wrong 1 move too late. I used to play a lot, but don’t so much anymore.
Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.
I am humbled.
