Frustration (solitaire)
Frustration is an early 20th century Eastern European patience or card solitaire resembling the banking game of ''Treize'' which has its roots in the 1700s. Frustration is similar to but opposite of Hit or Miss. History Frustration appears to have been played by the Romani people of Eastern Europe before the Second World War, but came to light in American in the 1990s where it became the subject of mathematical investigation. The game relies purely on luck rather than on skill, and has been both mathematically analyzed and discussed in popular media. It is an example of a derangement problem in combinatorial mathematics, which can be understood using a combinatorial tool called a rook polynomial. The probability of winning the game has been determined exactly, and is approximately 1.6233%. The same technique can be applied to variations of the game that use different numbers of suits, and different numbers of cards per suit. This instantiation of Frustration does not appear in ...

In the same work is a very similar game called The Harvest, played with a Piquet pack of 32 cards in which counting starts at "Seven" and ascends to "Ace" before starting again.Hoffmann (1892), p. 14. American editor, Harris B. Dick, renames it "Hit and Miss" in his 1898 publication and the game has been variously called Roll Call or Hit or Miss since. Morehead & Mott-Smith (1949) add the alternative name Treize. Several editors include the alternative names, failing to mention that Harvest is pla ...
