Description Myriam Schweingruber 2021-05-27 21:18:47 UTC

In over a hundred new games there was not a single winnable indicated by the solver.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Choose Baker's Dozen game, use the default variant and refresh if the solver indicates "This game can not be won".

In over 100 refreshs there was not once a solvable game as per the solver


EXPECTED RESULT

Have at least once in a while a solvable game. Statistically Baker's Dozen is not as hard as Freecell or a four-suit Spider, so why are there no Baker's Dozen that are solvable? Or is the solver broken?

can you start numbered game 949916152 and tell us if it tells you its winnable?

Same as always, "This game cannot be won"

And just tried: although tricky, this came can be won

That game is marked as winnable to me.

Maybe Ubuntu needs to update its freecell-solver packages to 6.2 from 5.0?

why freecell?

Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2021-05-31 01:13:49 UTC

Anyway, checking with the devs

Because freecell-solver is used for Baker's Dozen
