thats interesting... I'd been lead to believe it was random and you got the same card nomatter which card you chose.

It could be confirmation bias, but I am going to at least give credence to the guy with 109023182983291 games played and try his system.

If i hit the board clear twice there, i go back to the top and bottom rows.

This made me want to know if there really is a discernable pattern.

I'm starting a spreadsheet

Apos, let me just say that in the last 30 min, I have been trying your board clear method. I am killing it. I haven't kept track of my games but I know I've had about 7-10 board clears already.

Thanks!

Now if you only had a method that guaranteed PO resets in a quick, rapid-fire manner.

I am 100% sure that it's all random.
Many people will tell you that pattern X works for them and will swore by it that it increase chances of getting more board cleared.
Some people will tell you that this is not working for them.
Even for random, going with the same pattern over just clicking on whatever (which is how I roll) might seem better at times and can lead to believe that there is a pattern, but since multiple users using patterns all use different patterns with differential level of success, points me to the randomness of things.
I do like that everyone plays this game differently and uses what strategy he thinks works better for him (or her - not that there anything wrong with that )
