Rueful Goal...

This wasn't actually a goal, certainly not initially. I can't recall how many years ago I got the Nokia 920, but I loaded FreeCell soon after and started playing with some regularity.

A few months ago I noticed the game count (unless you choose to you never see the stat screen) and was saddened to think about how much time I've wasted over the years (probably a bit over three minutes per game on average). Still, at that point I figured I'd go to a significant round number before I quit.

The statistics are accurate. My fastest game was 52 seconds and the fewest moves, 71. And I've actually lost one game, but it doesn't show because I'm in the middle of a game (I wanted both numbers to be the same for purposes of the screenshot, but I'm really not OCD). What helps the win percentage is that you can undo as many steps as you need to in this version and you can also restart the same game, so even if you concede it, restarting the same game doesn't go as a loss (well, at least so long as you eventually win it). Of course what that means is I've played many more games than is shown...so even sadder, eh?

That said, I hit a big, ridiculous number, and I'm good and done. Please don't castigate me for the horrible waste of time, I already can't believe it myself. ;) :(

Anyway, enough blather...
