…for a given value of ‘victory:’
Basically, it’s like this: Spider Solitaire has a total of eight hands that need to be assembled in order (K to A) and taken off of the board. I have been trying for years to get a hand where I had seven out of eight hands solved before being dealt the final row of cards. This morning, I succeeded.
…And then had to promptly undo it, because I can’t deal myself a new row of cards unless I have at least one card down on each of ten columns. Still. It was a moral victory.

Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and Spider.
I feel your pain, btw. That’s a hard variant to win, let alone invent ironman challenges for.
There’s a reason I stripped that type of thing and internet access off my writing computer.

Now I find other things to do before sitting down, rather than after.
