Hearts PWN

[Jason Tandro]

Okay this is less show-CASING and more show-OFFING.



I played hearts very conservatively, keeping my score relatively low, until the very last hand, when I was dealt a gracious number of high hearts. I got control of the tricks and proceeded to run, sending all my computerized opponents over 100 and winning!

I PWN AT HEARTS!

[Edit: You know what, this probably DOES belong in Spam Central. I'll let the Kween be the judge.]

Here, I'll expand on your Show-offing. Now it's not Spam.



That's right. On my hundredth consecutive win of Solitaire I obtained a perfect score.

Sweet!

still, nice work... in a very strange and very nerdy way

Hearts....ugh, I never could understand that game, no matter how many times he tried to explain it to me.

On my old computer, my stats for playing Freecell were (before they sadly got wiped), something along these lines:

Games lost: 217
Games won: 25300
Win ratio: 99%

I was trying so hard to push my win ratio up to 100% without wiping the records (I figure, if I'd managed to get it over 99.5%, it would've rounded up to 100% automatically), but that would've required about another 18K games of nothing but wins, and an extra 199 wins for each further loss I might've incurred along the way.

I now HAVE a life though....it's called Terranigma.

(I also now have a fun little side-game of 4D Rubik's Cube....not for the faint-hearted )

how does that work?

4-D? I think not, unless there is some time manipulation puzzle... or if you believe in a fourth spacial dimension then you are in posession of a tessaract, and if that's the case, you should notify the Scientific Academy as soon as possible.

There are programs to simulate it online. Its fairly difficult even for me. Me being a retired rubik's cube freak, but that is something that I like to try not to remember too much. Needless to say I got a little too good at those plastic boxes.

That reminds me of a line from the Mikado, which they modernized to make more appealing.

The Lord High Executioner sings a song entitled "I've Got a Little List", where he lists those who should be killed, not because they've committed a great offense, but because they "never would be missed".


The first verse is:

"If someday it should happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list, I've got a little list,
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
and who never would be missed, they never would be missed."


The line you just reminded me of was originally:

"Children who are up on dates and always leave you flat."

But they modernized it to:

"Children who do Rubik's Cubes in fifteen seconds flat."

Yeah, that sounds like me. Well, my record at least was a little faster, which is gross.

wow thats nuts. although iirc the world record is something like... 7 seconds.

[Yet One More Idiot]

Yeah, it works like a regular rubik's cube, but the program simulates it in 4 spatial dimensions, projecting that into 3 dimensions and then projecting the projection onto the 2D screen. [/nerd]

For anyone who is mad enough to try (I can solve it for only 1 or 2 twists, but you can twist it up as much as you like before starting), here I goes:

I've seen a video of Yu Nakijima solving it faster than that. 6.57 seconds to be exact. It wasn't an official competition, so it isn't recorded as the world record.

The best I ever got was 14.53... yeah, not quite as impessive after that video.

Uh, dude. I think I speak for most of the members of the boards when I say "OH SORRY FOR YOU!" I mean seriously. As my friend said "If I can do one in fourteen DAYS I'm happy."

i guess i'd give up and cry in a dark corner after one minute shifting colored squares
