Solitaire

What is it about Windows Solitaire that makes it so addictive and brilliant and yet a complete waste of time? I have several theories:

1. Failure: You may only win about 1 in 8 times but losing all of those games doesn't put you off but instead spurs you on to eventual victory.
2. Anger: You often want to beat the game into a bloody pulp or maybe headbutt it into a fine paste or maybe... You get the idea - I'll stop before you all start backing away very slowly. This will mainly because the one card you need is under two others. You want to win so that you can shout "In your face, Solitaire! In your face! Ha!" at your mortal enemy.
3. Reward: The big reward you get is the cards happily bouncing off the screen and leaving a nice pattern behind. However, it is annoying when a fully black trail messes the whole thing up.

Just a short pointless one this time I'm afraid but at least it's something, eh? See you next time.
