I've seen it, I just chalked it up to a logic error. I mean I find it
amazing someone had time to code the ability for the game to check and see
if you have any actual moves left or not. Probably not a perfect system. I
mean does it really stop you from enjoying the game? I mean you've obivously
played a lot of games assuming you probably played through 10 or more to
come up with the "70%" metric.

Yes, it's a glitch, 99% of all games out there have glitches, some more
annoying than others. I mean after you go through a pile twice and don't see
a move I think it's pretty safe to assume you don't have one.

I mean solitare I just assume I've lost and start over, I never wrack my
brains trying to figure out if i've exhausted every possible option.

-A.

It's just really irritating to me, not it's not a major thing, just
irritating. And as someone with sever OCD, it bugs me every time. And I
play a lot of solitare to keep my hands busy while I do other stuff.
::shrugs:: I'm just wondering if there's away to fix it. I can live with
it, but I'd rather fix it if it's possible.
