all began on a deck chair, a small island in the northern atolls of the Maldives in 2006. My girlfriend and I were there diving holiday and here and there, she also played Solitaire on their iPod. She explained the rules and I even began to play. In the beginning, still relatively clumsy, I always wondered again how she saw a solution where I could find no way out. Over time, but then heuristics designed with whom I got along better and better.
Today I just won my Solitärespiel 1000. However, I have played on the iPod already 6556 Games, it is clear that this is a winning rate of 15.25%. Is this much or little?
At first glance, this 15%, a relatively disappointing result after so much practice. Especially as a wallpaper Bjarnson et al. ( Searching solitaire in real time ) the percentage of recoverable Games at 82% -91% estimates. A Monte Carlo simulation over 10 million Solitaire Games ( The probability of unplayable Solitaire Games ) also showed a very small percentage of unplayable games of 0.25%.
surprised I was that it seems to date there is no computer program that can beat a good player Solitaire. After Persi Diaconis, a mathematician at Stanford University, are the chances of success the computer programs at about 7%, while a good player Solitaire comes to about 15% (this, a video ).
Another small note about the picture: The average income is of course negative. The negative value is due to a crash of my iPod, in which reported a sudden the average profit as a negative profit and since then has been slowly drawing to the positive profit ;-).
But enough with the Solitaire-induced procrastination and to get to work. The first exams in psychology studies are on the horizon ...
