A Solitaire puzzle for teh Longue

Can you really lose when all the cards are uncovered? Apparently you can... if you are me. :wtf:

1. Yeah...I discovered that "at work" a few years back
I guess I just kind of assumed things always took care of themselves past this point as they always had before. But my sample experience was small, i.e. I didn't play all that much and had only won about 4-5 times.

3. That's a real pisser.
I hate it when that happens. You should play a drinking game. Everyone wins with a drinking game. :toast:

12. Will it let you pull the ones you already place off the stack?
Some will. Just move the jack and the queen back down. Then move the jack of diamonds and you are done.

14. Some solitaire games will let you move the cards you placed on the aces stacks back.
So if it does she could move the jack of clubs and the queen of clubs back down and then move the jack of diamonds and she is done.

15. I lost a computer solitare game once...
and I couldn't figure out what I'd done wrong. I had everything uncovered. And I didn't have anything hiding behind other things. And then I finally figured out what was wrong.

Computer glitch. There was a card MISSING. :P Jack of clubs or spades, I don't remember which.

I took a screenshot, but unfortunately that was on my old harddrive which went kaput. :(
