Variable ratio reinforcement is best for prolonging the behavior. Works 
for rats. Neither version has statistics other than the time for 
successful games. Both solitaire versions do have the win/loss ratio. For 
Klondike it runs between 25 to 30% but I play the loose rules, turning the 
cards over one at a time with unlimited repeats.
