As time went on during our home computer work, we naturally gravitate to some area or topic of little overall value -- but, is fun! In our household, on our PC, one of these "fun" topics is Freecell. There are 32000 possible deals in Freecell and as of the time of writing this document we have started one-by-one to see how far we get into 32000 deals. As we go along, we will try to document our experience as regards to the difficulty to us (we realize that each Freecell player will have his/her own opinion as to what deal is difficult).
The following table summarizes our families' experience with Freecell. Contact us at SCScompA@aol.com if you have any input to the table (perhaps you could start at deal 4000 or greater…. We hope to at least get to the first 4000 of the 32000!).
As mentioned earlier in this chapter, we have found that approximately 70 moves is required to solve a difficult deal. An average number of moves per deal is around 40. The following table uses the number of times a family member had to restart until a solution was found.
