  • Urban Legend of Zelda: In the late '90s, it was widely believed that all games in Freecell were winnable. This changed when it became public knowledge that this, in fact, wasn't the case. This hasn't stopped some people from believing so, and Solitairelaboratory.com and other number-crunchers have shown that the Freecell win rate is 99.999% or 1 unsolvable game per 78,000 deals. An AI and several experts were used to solve all of the original 32,000 deals in order to prove (or disprove) this - it solved every single one EXCEPT 11982, proving that it is unwinnable. When the amount of unique deals was increased to one million, it was found that only eight are impossible.
