You mean any number? Just the game itself? I've won Chameleon # 547291217.

Hi Peg
it is all games for Chameleon and I never get close
also with game 547291217 the jack is the foundation and 2 queens come out very early and get buried deeply the 3rd is a long way down in the pile i do not see how it is possible to win
i can clear the spades to the 9 and get a little way in the clubs
any clues?
regards Paul

Paul, when I play Chameleon # 547291217, the 9 is the foundation, not the jack. I'm using version 9.2.0 of PGS. Same for you?

I get the club Jack as a foundation, too, and things go along until all Jacks are uncovered but there
seems to be no way to get into the reserve.
It's not possible to take the Jacks down to the
tableau, or is it? Bye. Audrey

Paul & Audrey -

What hidden pile?

I have the 9 Hearts as the first foundation card. The 3 tableau cards are 3 Diamonds, 4 Clubs and 8 Diamonds. The first card turned over is 6 Hearts. The first card on Reserve pile is Ace Clubs.

I almost doesn't sound like we're playing the same game!

Peg;
My foundation card is the club jack; the tableau cards are the spade 9, club 9 and diamond deuce. The top reserve card is the diamond 6. We do have a variance! My number is 547291217. Could you possibly have another number, an extra digit or a missing one? If not we need help from Thomas. Bye. Audrey

My mistake! Amazing how I could make the same typo each time, but I did. The actual number is 547201217. I'm really sorry about that!

Oh, well. That's solved. I did solve the Chameleon that Ken posted so that's it, for me. Now I only have 163 puzzles to master ... one of each, that's my goal. Bye. Audrey

That's neat, Paul ... the file looks like Sanskrit to me as I don't have a WP converter! The trick does work for me but mine won't fit on one page and the scroll bar is non-functional. I am making progress with Triple Russian and Triple scorpion. Up to 414.

Hi Ken
I can definitly see why your are most proud of Carre Napolean but I have cracked it at last and Brazilian Patience as well
I am still puzzled as big spider and beetle are high percentage wins but i get nowhere
never getting any 13 sequences down so it removes them to make more room
I have been struggling with La nivernaise as well today but never getting a score above fifty

Greetings, Todds. I'm a Surrey expatriate now deep in the heart of. Do your numbers all refer to one Spider game or to some of the different flavours?
I have much trouble with them all and use all the help that I find. Bye. Audrey

Mark, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I can't seem to win your # for Carre Napoleon. I seem to get hung up on the 6 of clubs. Both of them seem to come up very early in the game, and I can't bring them down into the tableau. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ken

For Carre Napoleon, try 3000009. The only quirk is late in the game, don't let the Jack of Hearts play to the foundation. Use it in the tableau to move the 9 of hearts. I couldn't figure out Mark's game either. I couldn't get the 6 of clubs EVER!

I wish that I could help, Paul, but I didn't record the moves and my memory yields, "Duh?". I've not reached a countdown phase yet but have, currently, solved 420. Long way to go and the rate has slowed down. I made a nice little check-off table, in MS Word 2003 but don't know how to attach it to send to
the Forum. Bye. Audrey

Thanks, Paul. Triple Triangle was there but Heads & Tails certainly wasn't! it's a touchy little programme; you kill one devil and up pop seven more.
I think that it's now correct. Bye. Audrey
