let me rephrase that...this is a hard game that if anyone can provide assistance (other than to say they can do it in 2 moves and 0:03) I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi @happycat1691 it certainly looks as though it’s a tough one to solve given the times taken by those who’ve succeeded.
I wish I could share a tip. This one took me a long time to crack. When @jezzbelle asked for a pointer, I couldn’t recall the key, so I tried to solve it again. Gave up after at least another hour and a half.
I’d swear my breakthrough came on the left side of the board, for the little that’s worth. It’s pretty easy to work down through Stacks #2 & 3, and then #5 plays quickly. But that path dead ends. So I suspect I broke through with Stack #1 or 4.
Well, I managed to hack my way through it again. I can't think of a clever way to fold my solution into a tip. Best I can do is to suggest you weave your opening gambit from Stacks 2, 3, and 5, with a pinch of Stack 8.
Here's a video of how I got started:

yep..I've stopped and started several times. always end up about the same place...stuck
Pffft! I’ve just spent 20 minutes going nowhere with it. I’ll have to come back to it another time and try again.
maybe an expert will come along and give a hint...this is the first one I have not been able to solve in over a year..
Looks like a number of people have solved the mystery. Not sure why I tried it. Just wasted 10 minutes of my life playing around with it.
Yes, can i also have a hint please as I have spent way too much time on it!
omg .. thank goodness - cracked it .. but don't ask me how! i can get back to work now!
