As (just about) everyone knows, MS FreeCell deal #11982 can't be
solved with the standard eight columns and four free cells.
Ironically, MS FreeCell deal #11987 is among the easiest to solve. If
you perform an initial ace move to a home cell, then it can be solved
in 28 moves with zero free cells and no other direct moves to home
cells. (Without a supermove -- 32 moves.)
In the original 32K MS FreeCell deals, there are four other deals --
#5907, #10772, #12411, and #17772 -- that can be solved with zero free
cells and no direct moves (whatsoever) to home cells.
Give these deals a try if you are looking for something different.
Just don't try deal #25001 because it isn't solvable under these
conditions, but it takes a lot of moves to prove it!
