Free Cell

Good Morning my fellow Mathletes.

 This is the first post of many post to come. I have a few problems to deal with. After watching a person play over 40,000 games of Free cell, it makes me wonder how many different possibilities there could be. I think you can you could figure this out with a simple Combination, that’s not my concern. While some games take as long as an hour to figure out you are not going to beat that said game, then on the other hand, some are finished in as little as 66 seconds. It is mind boggling to see someone finish a game so quickly. So are some games easier than others, or can you actually look at a game before you start and know exactly what you are going to do?

So how many of the games cannot be finished out of the amount of different combinations of cards. I am unsure if there is even a way to tell if it is unbeatable.

Let me know what you think.
