Vaaniji! Well done 👌👍 But I got bad news 😕 I finally had your package ready (see pic). However, at the post office, I got told it was €35 / ₹3850 to ship 🫠 Quite expensive for a single radish… So I decided to cancel the shipment 😑 Sorry 😶‍🌫️ I’ll send you a simple postcard on the occasion, tho 😀😉🥰

👊😉 You get the idea 😊

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” — Exodus 20:8-11

> maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket. I would probably win like 10 bucks. 😂 😂🎲😂🎰 This, I can’t tell, but you’ve certainly deserved a chocolate medal (as an image 😅) for that pretty nice win of yours 😀😉🍫😋🥰:

A medal made from chocolate. It’s written « Médaille en chocolat » en it, which is French for, simply, “chocolate medal”.

🥇 Bravissimo Rich! New worldwide record 💯🏌️‍♂️🎊 Hope your Monday is going fine and your week is off to a great start! 😀🚀🌝🌹

Gold medal from the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Designed by Chaumet, one the finest jeweler in the world, a subsidiary of LVMH. In the middle of the medal, there’s a piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower, hexagon-shaped (the hexagon is a symbol of France, whose continental territory is roughly shaped like one). Fun fact: Olympic gold medals are actually mostly made of silver nowadays; the only requirement, set by the Olympics committee, is that they contain at least 6g of gold (which isn’t much!)

I solved #Solitaire deal #1125 in 10min 47s, 156 moves (+22 undone, 0 hinted; 9 recycling, 2 worrying back). The computer cannot finish it! Beat me if you can: freesolitaire.win/turn-three#1...

Solitaire deal #1125, draw 3 mode. 67 moves along a winning path.

After 100 moves. Highlighted is the 101th: moving the 7 of Diamonds on 8 of Clubs, the crucial move.

After 115 moves. Ace of Diamonds is finally revealed, last card on the last tableau pile!

020

Patience @freesolitaire.win · 25/06/2026

It’s a nasty deal for sure 😮‍💨 On top of bsky.app/profile/free..., here’s an illustrated winning start. Focus first on building, on the last tableau pile, red 9→7♦️, using cards from the stock. Manipulate it carefully! After that, 7♠️ becomes accessible. Move 6♦️ on it, it hides Q♥️.

After 11 moves, the 12th is highlighted. Don’t put the Ace of Hearts to foundation afterwards! Don’t mess with the stock unless it helps with moving 6 of Diamonds ;-)

After 65 moves, and many cycles through the stock, one can finally move the 7 of Diamonds & 7 of Spades from the stock to the tableau. After that, lay down the 6 of Diamonds on the 7 of Spades. Moving the 6 reveals the Queen of Hearts, which must be put to King of Clubs. Then it’s easy ;-)

After 74 moves. It all flows naturally after the Queen of Hearts is put on the King of Clubs.

🆘 There’s a trick to this one: 😉🤫

Initial layout of Klondike Solitaire deal #5691. One can see that the two black Kings, and the two red Queens, are on the tableau. The Queen of Hearts is blocking the King of Spades and a lower-rank Hearts (the 6), so she /must/ be moved to the other black King, the King of Clubs!

Deal #5691, game in progress after 87 moves. Highlighted is the moving of the Queen of Hearts (not the Queen of Diamonds!) over the King of Clubs; doing otherwise would be deadly.

Game almost over after 133 moves. As one can see, the foundation piles were built in a balanced way.

🆘 Some screenshots along a winning path. Worrying back happens on the third image 😉

Solitaire deal #33333, draw one mode. Game in progress, after 43 moves.

After 132 moves. The 133th one is highlighted; it’s a “worrying back”, 5♠️ is taken from the Spades foundation pile back to the tableau, on 6♥️ (fourth column from the left). After that, 4♥️ can be moved.

Solitaire deal #33333, draw 1 mode. Game is almost over, after 157 moves.

Klondike Solitaire deal #1239, draw three mode, game almost over.

Deal #1239, game in progress, at the beginning. The crucial move is highlighted: taking the 5 of Spades from the stock should be done instead of moving the 5 of Clubs.

“Queen of Hearts (Lili)” showcases Lili Elbe as a self-assured model, gazing directly at the observer with ambiguous defiance. The portrait is rich in detail, capturing the graceful posture, Art Deco patterns, and decisive brushstrokes, reflecting Wegener’s deep care for her art and for Lili Elbe.

🆘 It’s a toughie! Here are some snapshots during a winning path. “Worrying back” (taking cards from foundations back to the tableau) was heavily used!

Solitaire deal #34725, draw one mode, game in progress (beginning).

Start-mid game. Foundations piles are unbalanced, the Spades foundation is still empty.

Mid-late game. Highlighted is the move of 9 of Hearts from foundation back to the tableau!

Late game. Notice that there’s is only the Ace on the Diamonds foundation pile, even so late in the game!

No no, it can be completed: deal #500 has been finished 42 times in “draw 3”. The black 7s block the red 8s. But! they don’t block a lower-rank Spade and Club, so it’s not impossible to move them: send (one of) them to foundation directly 😉

Welcome to this world, Cassius! 😍🕊️🤗

A European flag I made. The background is plain, dark blue (like on the official flag of the European Union). There is a white Taurus (astrology) symbol in the middle; remember that, in Greek mythology, Europa was a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus in the form of a white bull. The symbol consists of a circle and two side “horns” on top of it. In the circle, there’s a capital "E" in gold. The letter "E" is graphically the same in the Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets. Between the horns are twelve golden five-pointed stars (same number and shape as on the official flag of the European Union). The horns and stars can be seen as a crown, in reference to the woman in the Book of Revelation (chapter 12).

Patience @freesolitaire.win · 04/05/2026

Four times, to be exact 😅😆 Heh, 113 moves is really good 👏👍👏 That would have get you a bronze medal some hours ago, but since then Alan managed to finish in 105, so 112 is the new third best now 😬 But you get a chocolate medal, especially well deserved given your hard trying: 😅🍫🏅🥰
