No, I didn’t cop out and “just complete a game of Patience”. Well, I did complete it, but only after more than FIVE HUNDRED attempts over more than thirty hours play.
There are three modes – one with all the cards being the same suit, one with them being one of two suits, and one with all four suits. I completed the first two within a couple of goes each, but the four suit mode? Aw hell no.
So, if you’re a stats nerd, then you may know that the probability (because it’s is largely down to luck) of having a completable set dealt is about one in three. But either I missed some gameplay quirk or that’s An Actual Lie because there’s no way it should have taken that many attempts.
