I was beating solitaire several times a day until I started needing glasses, then I stopped before I went completely blind.

PER day?

I cannot answer that question since, I do not play solitaire per day.

So how do you answer the doctor when they ask how many alcohol beverages you drink daily?

For pre extraction surgery, I was given a paper questionnaire that had multiple choice options such as daily, weekly and monthly and then by how many.

I usually just play until I win and then maybe a few more times after that until I win again and then I might finally give up, unless I want to win just one more time.

Otherwise, mostly I play FreeCell and I'm running at about 54% win rate with that.

A--That's not what I call it.

B--That's none of your business.

You can win more often if you select to have a single card turn over instead of three.

This is the way I play, because I am not a masochist.

I play Chinese solitaire and beat it probably about 30-40% of the time.

There are lots of ways to "win more often", some of which are described here. Most reliable one for me was Alt-Shift-2.

I play Northwest Territory on my solitaire program on my phone.

I've started the stats over many times, and played a bunch in each set...but can never keep it much above 25% for wins.

Very dependent on the variety of solitaire.

Klondike (that's regular old American Solitaire) I run around 20% wins.

Scorpion, Alaska, Ukranian Solitaire, and Russian Solitaire, and Spider I run around 5%.

My latest favorite is Batsford, which is nigh impossible, 1-2% wins.

I have a lot of time on my hands, and 250 versions of solitaire.

Wolf, do you play with actual cards, or on the computer? Before computer, I used to play a lot of Canfield and Scorpion.
