I've created a monster. Pick a pile is a game to do for fun. You know...like when Mary Poppins sings: "In every job that must be done there is an element of fun, You find the fun and *snap* the job's a game..." The rules allow you to choose one pile of your choice. It can be a teeny pile. And, you get to focus in on it thereby ignoring the mounds of piles nearby. That's part of the game. When you finish your pile, whether teeny or big, you win! You don't need to show us your other piles and I don't need to show you mine (although you've lived here so you are aware of them!) Oh, no. I’ve created a monster.
