The Four minute Challenge !!!

We all know that Rodger Bannister broke the four minute barrier for running a mile in 1954. Did you know that it was only in 1994 that a forty year old irishman, Eamonn Coghlan was the first to do the same.

 

Well this challenge has nothing to do with being over forty or running a four minute mile.

 

 

I have been filling in time and keeping the old grey cell in working order by playing against the clock with gnome-mahjongg. I have been attempting to complete the puzzle in under four minutes for every different layout. Today I finally completed the task.

Some layouts were a breeze but one particular layout had me well and truly stymied, the "confounding cross" was darn hard and I thought I would never complete it for a full set.

 

So are you up for the challenge.

 

Does your grey cell still vroom vroom or does it creak and splutter.

I do like GNU Backgammon.

 

Me too. We are talking the same game version, GTK version that you can use as a trainer with all the bells and whistles. The pesky thing is really hard to beat but I get a buzz when I do manage to kick it into touch. :breakfast:
