Richard, TI #2071638015 was certainly "devilish". It took me about an hour to win it. It was deceptively easy at first, but the more you got into it, the more evil it became. (Isn't that how the devil usually works?) |

BTW, I got the other TI you posted the other day (#1669032063). Wasn't as challenging as Auld Nick, but still was fun! Ken |

Hi Ken,
Did you save the Auld Nick one? I'd be interested to compare it with my own effort. I found it extremely unobliging.
You'll be pleased to know you've got me addicted to Triple Interchange. Some of them are taking 15 and 20 minutes to put to bed, frequently longer.
I'm doing battle with one just now that has so far refused to capitulate. In the meantime I'm posting another TI number which I very much enjoyed. Thought it was going to be unwinnable but there appears to be just one door that lets you in. Immediately you identify it, it just rolls over. Triple Interchange_amazing_1512547072 was how I saved it. Enjoy.
Richard. |

Richard, sorry I didn't save it, but the key for me was extricating the Ace of diamonds that was buried in the third column from the right (I believe). (No easy feat since the 2 of diamonds was atop of it). But when I succeeded in that, the rest was gravy! |

Hi Ken,
You may want to enlist some help for this one. Methinks Auld Nick is out for revenge. I've been at it for ages. If you crack this one PLEASE save it so we can see how its done. Is it unwinnable? 116173649 stinker Triple Interchange.
Glory awaits you (or someone else).

Hi Ken,
Are you winding me up? That's MY department. In case you're not, this is how to do it.
At any point whilst you're playing a game you can save it by going to the top left of the screen and clicking where it says "Game". A menu drops down and you click on "Save as". It will normally suggest what the file could be, but you can pop a word into its suggestion thus :- Triple Interchange_amazing_1512547072. It was me who inserted the word into what PGS suggested for the file name. This can be handy when you're working on a nasty one. You can save it as many times as you want as long as you alter the file name slightly. I frequently insert "space", "best" "promising" etc so that I can return there instantly. You go back to top left and click "game" and click "open game" on the menu that appears. Then select the one you want and click on "Open". It certainly makes life easier.
Richard.

Ok, that part I understand, but how do you post a game on the forum? And btw, I'm not winding you up. I may be solitaire savvy, but computer savvy, I'm not. (That's probably why I haven't invested in a better computer.) |

Hi Ken,
There's quite a few of us that are not computer savvy. You just have to learn to see the funny side of it. When a grandchild sits at your PC and makes it do things that you can't, you've no alternative but to have a snigger.
Posting a saved game to the forum is childsplay (get it?). You type in your message as normal and then you hit the button just below where you're typing, "Upload Attachment". Then hit "browse" and PGS will open the folder where all your saved games are and you just scroll through them until you find the one you want. (That's why it's handy to add a word into the file name so that it jumps out at you).Then you click on "upload". The file will then appear at the end of your message and you proceed as normal. You can't really go wrong, but if you do, just get back to me and we'll iron it out. That's what this forum is all about, learning stuff and helping one another. I get many a good laugh at my own expense, and I don't give a rap.

Hi Ken,
"AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!! A 2 of hearts,etc".
Can I take it that my game is proving a little frustrating? Will you concede defeat or will you fight on? Will you be the first to vanquish the foe? Onward Christian soldiers!
Richard.
PS,
I've locked horns with another satanic one so there will be no relief even if you zap the current one.

Hi Ken,
Sorry your upload has not worked for some reason. Congratulation for solving it. I was at it for ages before I did so. Attaching my solution for your perusal. Also uploading my partial solution for the other stinker. I honestly don't think it's possible due to kings of diamonds blocking every line it's possible to clear otherwise.
You've got me addicted to this now. Will keep posting interesting ones.

Hi Ken,
Let's see if we can sort out the upload problem. A case of the blind leading the blind if I ever heard one.
1/. Click on the Upload Attachment button below this.
2/. A new window opens.
3/. You can type in a name for your file (if you want to).
4/. Click the button where it says browse.
5/. You should then see all the games that you've saved in PGS.
6/. Highlight the one you want and click where it says "Open".
7/. That file should now appear in the space in the window next to where it says "Browse".
8/. Click on the "Upload" button down to the left of this.
9/. Another screen should then appear telling you you've done it. Click OK.
10/.You should now be back onto this screen, and you should see your message with a little bit added on to the end of it.
11/. Click on Preview/Post Message beneath this.
12/. Another screen opens and asks you if you want to post it. I think that after you've gone to so much trouble you should definately say YES.
13/. You should then see your posted message in the forum.
14/. If not, you should definately rule out suicide.
Have another go mate. It's just a bit of fun anyway.
Richard. |

Good morning Ken,
Well done mate.Success at last. You've mastered a new trick. Yet another old dog that won't be taken to the vet. I hope that this encourages other players to try it too. It's not that difficult really, and it's not as if you could screw up your PC or anything.
NOW Archie, when you've finished splashing about in you bath, could you direct your proven talents towards the King-key one. Time and tide etc.
Will see if I can dig up some more treasure for you later, when I wake up.
Richard.

Hi Ken,
The pheonix has now arisen, thanks largely to an oral administration of caffeine.
Try these Triple Interchange games. I enjoyed them anyway, and you'll see my opinion of them.
Triple Interchange_Vdifficult_1669032063
Triple Interchange_Vdifficult_470545889
Triple Interchange_Vdifficult_520979265
Incidentally, this is NOT a closed shop. Everone is invited to participate if them want to.

Ok, Richard, I give up. Obviously that didn't work. I know how to save a game now, and when I go to PGS, I know how to acess my saved game, but when I go to browse, I can't find my saved game!
(I realize I did it with YOUR solution last night, but that was after a couple of beers, and now everything is hazy this morning!) |

Hi Ken,
We're we talking in gallons re the beers? What kind of defeatist nonsense is this about giving up? Didn't you slay Auld Nick?
OK, this time you managed to upload a log file. Proves you were looking in the right place anyway.
This may be stating the obvious, but I'll risk it, do you realise that all the files where you're browsing are in alphabetical order? The one you've posted above is under K for Ken, but the one you're looking for should be under T for Triple Interchange.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again.
Richard (being uncharacteristically patient). |

Good morning Kenneth,
I take it that a little of my sarky good nature has crossed the Atlantic. "mildly difficult", I'm impressed. It just goes to underline what we've agreed previously about a single move having the ability to transform a game. Clearly we went on completely different routes. No harm done, and no offence taken,(as if). As long as you enjoyed the game. No resting on your laurels though, I'd like your opinions on the other two. And if you think you can have a kip after that, think again. Richard has some more for you.
Have a good one,
Richard.
PS
Check out my post re Senior Wrangler which I'm just about to post. See what you can do with it. It's got me baffled.

Hi Ken,
Senior Wrangler is not one I like either, but I've posted all of the moves required to win it. I just want to find out it the gliche is with my PC only, and see if someone else gets it to record as a win.
You're getting the hang of the put-downs I see. Tell me this matey, why did you post a huge file for 470545889 if it was "mildly difficult"? But they say size doesn't matter. Ha! Keep up the good work.

Richard, I seem to remember last month I posted a difficult # and you posted back words to the effect that your grandchild had completed it before breakfast. Well, he is on holiday visiting me in sunny Florida, because he got this one in record time. In your defense (not that you need one), I'm a 40 Thieves-type of guy, where you're a jack-of-all trades, Master of ALL. |

You learn well Grasshopper. (perhaps that a bit dated for you).
I'm delighted you're enjoying our exchanges, and I hope I've brought a little fun into the forum.
I've been scraping the barrel to find a rancid Triple Interchange capable of baffling you. No joy as yet but Triple Interchange_easy as pie_1191306880 will have to suffice meantime. It's not brutal but it takes a bit of planning. Enjoy. Richard. |

Hi Ken,
It makes it a little more difficult for you to dismiss some of my games as pathetically easy when I've already put them into that category. Hoist by you own petard? Ha!
A woman I know wants to spend a few nights with you. Here is her name and her contact number. Triple Interchange_Lucretia Borgia_1950192255. She'll keep you busy. I think she's got your number.
You'll find her exceedingly difficult to get on with and exceptionally unobliging. She will succumb to your charms eventually, though very reluctantly.
NEWSFLASH:- Plague forecast next week. Black Death imminent. It could be the death of you my friend.
Absolutely no put-downs permitted!
Apart from that, have a nice day.

"And Now For Something Completely Different".
Not a solitaire puzzle, but in common with PGS, very interesting and pretty challenging. I got it wrong. See how you fare. It just proves how litle we know about one anothers countries.
1/. Arrange these places by population.
Arizona, Florida, Texas, England, Scotland, New York City, London (England).
2/. Arrange these from north to south.
Anchorage Alaska, Aberdeen Scotland, Oslo Sweden, London England, Moscow Russia, Toronto Canada, New York USA.
Good luck,

Richard, Speaking of New York, I was just up there on holiday seeing "Mary Poppins" on Broadway, and of course, you know, that's it's a jolly holiday with Mary! Anyway, I was just about to get acquainted with Lucretia when a real easy TI came up (or so I thought). TI #1155332480 looks deceptively easy from the start but I'm having problems. Is PGS like my job? Where if I'm gone for a couple of days they have to re-train me? |

Hi Ken,
My commiserations re Mary Poppins. Was that some kind of of a court sentence, like Community Service? Or were you dragged there kicking and screaming?
I'll have a go at you TI number. Like any question, they're only difficult if you don't know the answer. And NO, I don't think you're in need of retraining. I suspect from the lack of other players joining in the fray (despite being invited to), that we're all finding them pretty difficult, (no matter what we say to the contrary). Ha!
It's good fun anyway. |

Hi Ken,
Your TI_Mary Poppins_1155332480 is no pushover, but a tip would be not to accept the five of hearts from the stock, but to keep the six free to accept the one from column three. Refusing a four of diamonds from the stock around the same time will get her to roll over.

If Lucretia Borgia had N for a middle name, her anagram could be "I got a cruel brain".
Kenneth Millar's anagram is what she's trying to do to you. "Near kill the man".

Hi mate,
I did say earlier "Absolutely no put-downs permitted!". That should have been a clear warning. Lucretia never did anyone any favours, and it took me a long time to put her to the sword. Definitely a female dog. Will go and exhume her and get back to you with a hint or two.
I know you enjoy the challenge so I'll not make it too simple for you.
Re the Super Bowl..... is that what you keep extra large goldfish in?
But no I didn't. It's a game that doesn't travel well. Football is played the world over. It's a game where you kick a ball with a foot. How come you guys ripped off the name and attached it to a game that doesn't do a lot of that? It's like rugby for hooligans.
Let's see how many hornets that stirs up! Like lambs to the slaughter.

Hi Ken,
Back to the serious business of murdering Lucretia.
You have two fives of hearts very early in the game, but you must keep one of the sixes to accept the five from column 5.
At the end of the first deal your columns should read, 5H, JD, 10S, 10C, 10H, 5H, JD, 5H, 3S.
Early in the second deal you play the leftmost six and five of hearts onto coulumn 5.
See if you can get it to here and save it before you go any further.
This is a fantastic game which didn't get saved under very difficult for good reason. If you're making no progress you can get back to me for further hints.
Richard. |

Richard, No offense taken about the Super Bowl. Given that I know what a good Scotsman you are (and an opinionated one at that), I was baiting you, and you didn't disappoint. Did you know that the same person that owns my team (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) also owns Manchester United? I hear the fans are up in arms about that!
Off to get poisoned and chooped up by Lucretia and Lizzie! |

Hi Ken,
That's what bait is for. I have an endless supply that I chuck around liberally. You should see the master at work in a pub after a few beers.
Yeah, the Man U fans hate the Glaziers. Nobody should be allowed to own a club and run it like a business. They belong to the fans who oil the whole machine with their hard earned money.
By the way, is BROADway part of the NY red light district? And what was Mary doing there?
My mother taught me this decades ago:-
Lizzie Borden with an axe, gave her father forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done, she gave her mother forty one.
Seems like a nice American girl. (More bait).

No offense (or offence), Richard, but your hint didn't make any sense, so I struck out on my own, and solved it. Take a gander.. |

Hi Ken,
Remember you talked about retraining? Well you messed up with the upload again.
Am posting up to the part I discussed previously so you can see what I meant.
Congratulations for solving it though. But you're gonna regret it. Watch this space. |

Huh, it just did the same to mine. It's acting very slow. |

Hi Ken,
I've just been looking at file sizes in our Triple Interchange marathon and have some bad news for you. Lucretia was the biggest at 10.3 (although she was only 8.0 when she left Scotland). That was the good news!
My Black Death file is 2.0 bigger than any I've saved before. I knew it was a tough nut, but this is ridiculous.
Richard.
PS. Your post was OK but something funny was going on and it wouldn't function until later. Mine did likewise. Strange. |

For Mike Bulter.
Locate message "Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 3:48 am" about ten messages from the top of this page. Follow those instructions, and also read the one "Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 4:42 pm" a few messages below the previous one.
Just underneath this post I'm typing now is the "Upload Attachment" button I was referring to.
All this presumes that you know how to "save" a game in the first place. When you're playing a TI game you can save it at any point before it's finished. Look up to the top left of the screen and click where it says "Game" and then click "Save Ass" in the dropdown menu that will appear.
Any problems, just ASK! |

Ok Richard. I have never saved a game before but I have seen that option. I will go through the messages and learn how to do it. |

Richard, Is that why Ingrid doesn't play PGS? Because of the "Save Ass" button? Didn't you tell me she was trying to lose hers? |

They come in all shapes and sizes.Some are beyond redemption. Some are in dire need of treatment.
Resurrection would be appropriate for others, whilst some have been irretrievably lost. Ingrid's has always shaped up nicely, and the reason she doesn't play PGS very often is that she feeds her one with hay on a daily basis. She has a very well fed ass, but I don't covet it. She exercises it frequently on the lawns around our mansion. It's also fond of Pony Nuts, and the odd carrot. She calls it Dobbin. I keep telling her that that's a more appropriate name for a horse, but she says it's her ass and she'll call it whatever she likes. Swedes! As long as she cleans up after it, why should I bother? |
