You need to get rid of all your cards, but how? If you're like us, you throw them around and play a rousing game of 52 pickup. However, if you're more analytically-minded, we suggest you try Big Fish's Fairway Solitaire. It's a golf-themed solitaire game and a fiendish puzzle at that! But if you can complete our challenge, you'll put yourself in the running for an iPad 2. And really, who doesn't want that? 
Just be sure to get swinging — you've only got until March 2nd to enter to win. | | Tee off » | | | JUST ASK KONG |  From: Brandon P
He asks: "Is it possible for Kongregate staff to reveal how you make a website like it?" |  Kong's Response:
Contrary to what you might think, there are no little elves (or ants) hanging out behind the scenes making Kongregate's website go. The website is actually a little like an onion — built in layers.
First, there's talk of what cool new features we want to see on the website. Next, the designers turn basic wireframes of ideas into fully fleshed-out designs. Once a new look and feel is decided upon, the designers and programmers get to work coding up the framework, adding content and styling the look and feel. Last, but definitely not least, users and developers like all of YOU come to the site, upload games, post in the forums, chat with your friends and more!
When it all comes together, it's so purdy it'll make you cry. | | Your question could be featured in an upcoming newsletter, too!
