I've been thinking a bit about hands of solitaire recently as I play it on my phone on the commute to work. It's cool to know that it's an interesting problem to other people as well.

At the same time, you know, I didn't even think to use Monte Carlo let alone design the damned thing...

As I understand it he got bored of the game itself, and was thinking about it at a higher level.

I've been playing it heavily recently though, and it seems to be so well weighted. Completing games about 10% of the time.

Trying to work out strategies to finish more games.
