Through a fortuitious set of draws, I was able to accomplish the following set of feats: Four safeties Two Coups Fourres All Four Safeties Trip Completed Safe Trip Delayed Action Shut-Out Extension --in other words, getting to 1000 without allowing the computer to play a single milestone and without playing a 200 milestone myself, picking up all four safeties along the way, and exhausting the deck before winning. This game totals to 4000 out of a maximum of 4600 possible, failing only by two coups fourres. Has anybody out there done as well? Better? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
