LOL!
I'm very, very good at Freecell so I had to take a look at #169. Dang, its a toughie! I haven't gotten it yet, either.
But remember, its only a theory that all games can be beat!
For what its worth, I know two NTs (me being one of them
) who started this same thing. Both gave up before game 100. The stick-to-it-ness of an Aspie can be a wonderful thing.
BeeBee
OMG. I just looked down, and realized I have freecell on desktop shortcut.... uh oh. I am currently undiagnosed, but there's really no doubt in my 43 year old mind about it. oh dear.... and then, of course, I have to try freecell #169. Don't be mad at me, it took about 5 tries but I managed to solve it. (I'm really not trying to be a jerk, I swear, and you probably already have solved it so I'm actally talking "old news" here)
