So, each Progressive game must be a completely solved game? Or, just this type of Solitaire, or ...?
The problem was not that it was unsolvable, almost all the 3-card progressives in 2010 have been unsolvable. The problem was, that as I and lava-lava have discussed above, the maximum possible score was 860. In order to score higher than that, you would have had to be able to uncover more cards on the tableau, but that was not possible. However, both lgtrader and charger put up scores of 1240. The only conclusion I can draw was some sort of wierd scoring bug.

Flignats refunded and canceled the progressive for this reason.
