Slightly incoherent post coming up, targetting a mere 0.005% of the population. If you've done the same thing as me, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't... better give up now.

I play Solitaire on my xda when I'm bored. Usually on public transport, or sometimes during commercial breaks on TV. That sort of thing. I have it on "Vegas" mode, with a 3 card deal, because I find it more challenging. Basically what happens is every new game costs you $52 to play, and every card you stack up (suits in order from Ace up) earns you $5. As you might imagine, it doesn't take too long until you're in negative dollars. Each full game that you win (all cards stacked up) earns you $260. So when you work out the odds in terms of how many games you need to play to win a few, I've often ended my nights quite happily having won 3/10 games and basically broken even.

Well, over the past week, I have been on an incredible winning streak. I've somehow managed to win several consecutive games, breaking the $1000 profit barrier for the first time and today, I hit $1,688 in earnings.

Just thought I'd share. I'll return you to your regular programming now.
