I don't know of any algorithm to cull non-winnable Klondike games. Playing deal-1 instead of deal-3, and with unlimited flipping of the stock, the win chance is probably close to 50%, but that still makes 2000 in a row statistically impossible.
My guess is that the poster's mom was actually playing FreeCell, in which nearly every game is winnable and people do get streaks like that.
- npinsker 5mo agoIt’s quite doable, if you don’t mind culling some winnable games too. The object isn’t to have a perfect classifier.
- chocochunks 5mo agoYou don't need an algorithm. You can just record seeds that are solvable. The current version of Klondike in MS Solitaire is winnable unless you play "Random" difficulty.
