So complicated, no wonder, it was not solved in the tournament. Fresh mind,fresh analysis,now 69/1.

Well done. I thought that game would be winnable. Was the opening sequence the same one that I'd guess most people used to solve it as 7x6 and 7x5 - getting the black ten on a red jack right out of the gate?

I'm impressed... but not surprised. As many times as I lost that game, I couldn't convince myself it wasn't winnable. I agree - the black 10 on the red jack seemed to be the best approach, but I couldn't make it happen. Nice job! And, as always, kudos to calicokid, who won despite giving us a solid head start (I don't know how long, but I'm guessing at least 15, maybe 30, minutes).

Hey WRAC, if it's any consolation ;) I started 20+ minutes late and calicokid had already won eight games to put him in 2nd place to your ten wins. So, maybe 15 minutes is closer.

I'm not sure how late I started, although I could have swore it was at least 23 mins after? The wife and kid decided they wanted to go visit some friends that live a few blocks away a little after the starting bell. I rushed to my computer and let her rip. I spent a lot of time on that 7x4 because I also thought it would fall before time was up. Decided to switch to the 7x3 instead.
