:O) thanks- I played on my break and the computer I was using was super fast ...that and the coffee perhaps combined well.

Sorry I couldn't finish the All in One. Got a call from a Scotsman. Nice accent though.

It's very tricky, I struggled with it and then just kept moving cards hoping to see a breakthrough....

I think the draw would be slightly better if my name was above yours :O)

Wow that's rare... Only seen one before in my short time here. Is there a photo finish to determine the winner? Are tenths of second also being measured?

Hey Oded789 Welcome to the site, yes the tie does happen occasionally - and I don't know how it's decided which one goes on top - anyone?

The seconds would be truncated, so tenths or even hundreths would actually be recorded to determine who was first, like an athletics sprint. Whoever lives closer to the server, speed of light and all that?

So as I live further away from the server I must have been even quicker.

Nice Freakout win today kenwa. I think the track and field (aka Athletics) would be that you lapped the field. Usually the Friday afternoon slot is one of my sweet spots but not today.

Yes-I know what you mean - I will often run into one of the wides that doesn't suit the eye, I thought you had me on that lightning - I felt sluggish on it.

I think the most interesting part of your duel yesterday was the early AIO in which there were 6s between 1st and 3rd (jimmy). Surely that's a rare event. Hop's query currently supports mainly the long formats, so I've only found two Potlucks with 8s between 1st and 3rd.

yes for sure, a very pleasant surprise - I expected my usual 3rd place. Maybe I was even more of a hurry, I have a job now where I'm on call and can be paged 24/7 for a week every couple of months. So like earlier when I was playing the Traditional I got paged and that was that - done. So if you see me suddenly stopping it's either that OR it's a game where I'm playing rubbish and am already so far behind the leader that I decide to use the rest of the tournie time more wisely :O)

I've had a couple of them -thanks. I was thinking of trying to work on my solving ability - wasn't there something you posted years ago about solving difficult games Kaos? I think it's in the chat somewhere but my searches haven't shown anything. I vaguely remember you had listed "types of games" but that's about it - do you remember what I'm talking about or know where it is?

very nice of you Kaos, maybe after a couple of years I can improve on that area, I think I've been here 20 ish years and it hasn't happened too much in that time!
