"Easter Egg" in Freecell

did a search, couldn't find anything about this, so I will assume it's news to more people than just me.

In Windows, load Freecell and start a new game. Press Ctrl-Shift-F10. Choose an option, then click on a card.

Alas, it's nothing like the racing game in Excel, but it's still pretty cool.
 
Umm... what's it supposed to do, because I don't get anything that I would call an easter egg.
 
bah, I know, but I couldn't think of anything else to call it. Ys, it's a cheap way to win (or lose, if you really want to) 🙂

Yeah geek types have complained to alot of software companies about easter eggs 'bloating' their code bases....pretty stupid with the pricing of space and the small size most of the easter eggs actually are, I wouldn't be surprised if the average easter egg is smaller than the average splash screen.

It doesnt affect your statistics though, like you cant do the win thing 50 times and the statistic page show you winning 50 games.

It does to affect your statistics. I perfer the old fashioned way of being 50 wins and 0 losses though - the game is much more fun when you have to think.
