My wife scored 2230 on her first go - alledgedly - she had no witnesses ;) So I thought I would throw out a challenge. My best is 1433.

For the sad ones among you (like me) I was wondering if anyone could devise a good strategy.

And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

I got 2705 two Sundays ago, and 2770 last Sunday. Not on the first click of course. I had to stop playing it, the spinning gets to me after a while.

Yeah, 1. Just spin one that will not line up with its partners after a 90 degree turn.

I used Query Analyser 8.00.760 - would a Service Pack help? PLEASE HELP NOW. This is REALLY urgent.

>> What's the catch?
You have to estimate correctly the number of turns BEFORE you try
Otherwise it doesn't count.

You have unbalanced tags. Do not pass GO.

Hehehehe ... I remember playing Monopoly when I was a kid and savouring passing "GO". Now my consultancy rates mean that I can collect GBP 200 every time I type "GO" !!
