Solitaire

Recently I had a little time to kill, and decided to play solitaire on the computer.  After reteaching myself how to play, I quickly discovered that there is a reason why I hate solitaire and why old people love it.  Besides being the worst possible solitaire player to ever try to place a King of Hearts on a King of Spades and wonder why the computer was “glitching out,” I realized that solitaire is boring because of its improbability of success.  Maybe I’m just terrible, but I couldn’t manage to win the game in the six times I tried.  I considered questions such as “Is it even possible to be bad at solitaire?”, “How do people think this game is fun?”, and “What monarchical status is the Jack?”  Also, if you were lost on an island with a deck of cards and no one to play with, would it be solitary confinement?
