Mobilityware’s version FreeCell scoring? I don’t remember who’s version or when but at one time it was possible to lose a game still show a 100% win rate due to a rounding error bug. Mobilityware’s free version of FreeCell shows 2 decimal places which made it a fun target to check out. I intentionally lost my 101st game and had gotten back to 99.97% when I accidentally closed an unfinished game and recorded a second loss. Actually it was a good thing since I’d won 289? games to the one loss but would have get at least 20039 games to test for the bug. I refused to think about how many years it would take to test with two losses so I cleared and started over on the paid version. Currently 477 to 0. My goal now is to have the top score for as many games as possible ( the score is calculated using a formula built around time and moves to solve the deal.) But it’s frustrating because “somebodies” are using an automated program to solve many of the deals. (The number of moves isn’t always the best possible, but the time of 15-17 seconds can’t be done by humans. So, can anyone tell me if my former quest was quixotic? BTW my personal bests are 0:2 on 593582, and 63 moves on 11853
