A Challenge!
14 years ago
Ok, so here's the deal:
Me and Jinks have been racking our brains to solve this Solitaire game for about 4 days now and so far it's been impossible. So, if you can solve it, you get your choice of a free sketch or 50% off a flat colour commission.
Here's how it's going to work. I will give you the layout of the cards that we know, as well as the draw deck. You give us a move list of what card goes where. If by following your move list the game can be won (Or at least gotten further than what we have), then you win!
Cards will be denoted in the following format:
H=Hearts
C=Clubs
D=Diamonds
S=Spades
(Value)(Suit)
Example: KH=King of Hearts, 7D=7 of Diamonds, etc.
Ok, here is the board as we know it. There are 4 cards on the far right that we have not been able to reveal. I know what they are but not the order, so they will be marked as UK and listed separately. To maintain alignment, empty slots will be marked with EM.
The Board
9C|AC|8D |2S|8H|4H |UK
EM|KH|10D|7H|4H|4C |UK
EM|EM|AS |2H|QS|3H |UK
EM|EM|EM |QH|QC|10H|UK
EM|EM|EM |EM|QD|4D |9H
EM|EM|EM |EM|EM|5S |KH
EM|EM|EM |EM|EM|EM |8S
The Draw Pile
Drawing is one card at a time, when the pile runs out, flip and continue drawing.
3C|6H|5C|5D|JC|3D|6D|4S|2C|KS|JH|2D|7S|9S|6C|JS|10C|JD|AH|8C|KC|9D|7D|3S
The Unknowns
The four cards under 9H are in an unknown order. Thought the process of elimination we do know what they are at least:
10S|7C|AD|6S
To be considered victorious, all you need to do is find a way to expose the 4th card on the 7th column (In other words, successfully remove the 9H.).
Example of how to submit your answer:
QD->KS
KS->Col2
Oh, and make sure you submit every move from move one to moving the 9H.
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
You are welcome to leave replies, but PLEASE also send a note with your submission. The victor will be the one who sends a successful solution first through the NOTE system. Email and journal replies will not be considered valid entries for the competition and will not get you the prize. Have your note contain "Solitaire" in the subject line.
Good luck and please someone figure this out for our sanity's sake 8D
