Pyramid is an exciting variation of the card game "Solitaire." Your task is to get rid of as many cards as possible in as few moves as possible.
There are a total of 52 cards and 1 joker.
At the beginning of the game, there are 28 cards divided among 3 pyramids at the top of the screen.
Below the pyramids, there are 23 cards that are facedown in the stock pile, one card that is face-up in the waste pile, and one joker.
Start from the bottom and dismantle the three pyramids of cards as quickly as possible.
Additional bonus points are hidden behind the card on top of each pyramid.
The more cards you collect in one series (without uncovering another card from the stock pile), the more series points you will receive.
Once you have cleared all 28 cards in the three pyramids, you will reach the next level.
To remove a card from the pyramid, its value must be exactly one more or one less than the value on the current, face-up playing card at the bottom of the screen. The colors of the cards are irrelevant.
The cards belong in the following order: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, 2, 3, ... Exp: If the current playing card is a Jack, then you could remove a 10 or a Queen from the pyramids.
You can only remove cards that are not covered by any other cards. Selectable cards light up when you place the cursor over them.
When there are no more suitable cards in the pyramid, click on the stock pile at the bottom of the screen. Flip through the cards until you find a card with which you can play further.
Once you have successfully cleared the entire pyramid, a new level will begin and you will receive new cards.
The game ends when there are no more possible moves or when your time runs out.
When you lay the joker on the discard pile, you can place any card onto it, and thus work your way out of a tricky situation.
Careful! You are only given one joker per level, so make sure that you use it appropriately.
You can also use the joker to increase the length of a series. Using a joker does not interrupt a series.
Remove a card from the pyramid by clicking on it with the left mouse button. If the card is playable, then it will light up and will automatically move to the waste pile.
To look through the cards in the stock pile, simply click on the card lying on to the top of the pile. Once you click the card, it will automatically be uncovered and placed on top of the waste pile.
Attention! You can only click through the stock pile once. Once you have uncovered all cards, you cannot go back through them.
If you would like to quit the game early, then click on the button at the top, right-hand side of the screen that says "End Game".
Time: You have a maximum of 4 minutes to play.
Points: Your points increase each time you remove a card from one of the pyramids.
Bonus Points: You will receive 1000 points each time you remove the top card from one of the pyramids.
Once you have removed all 28 cards from the pyramid, you will reach the next level.
Level 1: +100 points for each card removed. For a series in level 1, you will receive an addition +50, +100, +150, +200, and so on, depending on length.
Level 2: +120 points for each card removed. For a series in level 2, you will receive an addition +60, +120, +180, +240, and so on, depending on length.
Level 3: +140 points for each card removed. For a series in level 3, you will receive an addition +70, +140, +210, +280, and so on, depending on length.
Level 4: +160 points for each card removed. For a series in level 4, you will receive an addition +80, +160, +240, +320, and so on, depending on length.
Consider all of the possible moves that you could make before removing any cards from the pyramid.
You will receive more points for removing multiple cards in a single series. Therefore, you should always make sure you include cards in your series that might easily be overlooked (cards that are lying in a higher row).
Speed is not the most important factor for winning points. You will win more points for skillfully working your way through the pyramid, rather than by quickly working your way through.
The joker could be the key to your success because using it does not end a series. Therefore, you could use the joker to lengthen a series and accumulate even more points.
Sometimes you may need to use the joker early in the game to keep from having to waste too many cards from the stock pile. The game will end once all of the cards in the stock pile have been used.

2014 Australian Infectious Diseases Rese
2014 Australian Infectious Diseases Research Centre Eureka Prize for Infectious Diseases Research
Kea Lambert
Winner: Hendra Virus Research Team, CSIRO
First vaccine and treatment against Hendra virus, and first vaccine against any biosafety-level-4 disease
With a human death rate over 50 per cent, and an ability to cross species, the Hendra virus that emerged in 1994 had frightening potential. CSIRO quickly identified the new virus, but a vaccine proved harder.
Now, thanks to the work of CSIRO's Hendra Virus Research Team in Geelong we have the first vaccine and effective human treatment against the virus, and skills and resources that are being applied against Ebola. Their creation of the vaccine and treatment has won them the Australian Infectious Diseases Research Centre Eureka Prize for Infectious Diseases Research.
The Hendra virus has a proven ability to cross species: from bat to horse to human. There have been 50 outbreaks of the disease in Australia since it was first observed in 1994. Fatality rates are extremely high: four of the eight people who have contracted the disease have died, as have 75 per cent of horses.
"The vaccine provides Australia, and the world, with the first set of targeted tools to protect people and animals against this deadly virus," Australian Museum Director and CEO Kim McKay said. "And now this remarkable team are applying their skills to the even deadlier scourge of Ebola."
The CSIRO team has made a significant contribution to advancing our understanding of the threat posed by Hendra (and the closely related and highly lethal Nipah virus which killed more than 100 people in a Malaysian outbreak in 1999), including fully sequencing the virus genome.
Global growth, geographic expansion of human populations, and the intensification of agriculture have resulted in a greater risk of infectious diseases being transmitted to people from animals. While the current list of known emerging infectious diseases is a major concern, it is viruses—currently unknown—with a potential for efficient human-to-human transmission that pose the biggest threat.
The Australian Museum Eureka Prizes are the country's most comprehensive national science awards. The Eureka Prizes have been rewarding science since 1990—celebrating 25 years in 2014.
The other finalists were:
The University of Melbourne's Professor Elizabeth Hartland and Dr Jaclyn Pearson who discovered how E. coli cleverly keeps itself alive.

Trump Official: We 'Let the Biggest Perpetrator of Fake News into the Oval Office'
Team Trump is "either in bed with the Russians or too stupid to understand the severity of this mistake," an official fumed after Kremlin press got exclusive Oval Office access.

White House Reporter
Updated 05.11.17 11:16PM ET / Published 05.11.17 4:19PM ET

Senior members of the Trump administration are livid that the White House allowed the Russian government to steer the narrative of the president's Wednesday meeting with top Russian diplomats by giving Kremlin-backed media exclusive access to the event.
The White House did not allow American press into the meeting between President Donald Trump, Russian foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and Russia's ambassador to Washington, Sergey Kislyak. But it did admit a photographer from TASS, a state-owned Russian news service. Its photos were subsequently posted on TASS's website, giving that outlet a monopoly on publishable visuals of the meeting.
Russian government Twitter accounts shared photos of the event shortly after its conclusion. They revealed Kislyak's presence—a fact that was not even mentioned in the official White House readout of the meeting. Some U.S. officials suspect Kislyak, whose conversations with Trump's former National Security Adviser have fed an FBI investigation of his campaign, is a Kremlin spy—or at least spy-adjacent.
Two senior administration officials, one an Obama holdover and the other a Trump appointee, told The Daily Beast that the resulting reliance of U.S. media on a propaganda arm of a foreign government let Russia set the public tone of the meeting and embarrassed the administration amid already contentious discussions with Russian diplomats.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to candidly express their views. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
"This isn't an 'America First' policy," one of the officials fumed of the White House's decision "to let the biggest perpetrator of fake news into the Oval Office." Trump, the official added, is "either in bed with the Russians or too stupid to understand the severity of this mistake. Either way, the implications are truly terrifying."
The hurt feelings inside the White House weren't much sunnier.
"Yes, I admit the optics are bad—that was not intentional or anything," one senior White House official told The Daily Beast. "I literally face-palmed with this one."
The official noted that White House senior staff and press office were "sour" about the way this played out because top White House staff "somehow" did not foresee that the photos of Trump's chummy, American-press-free meeting with Kislyak and Lavrov would be almost immediately published by TASS.
Administration officials also claimed on Thursday that they had been misled into believing that TASS was documenting the event internally, just as an official White House photographer on hand for the meeting was. "We were not informed by the Russians that their official photographer was dual-hatted and would be releasing the photographs on the state news agency," an administration official told The Washington Post.
Furthermore, National Security Agency director Mike Rogers said Thursday that the NSA was not consulted ahead of time regarding the Russian-government visit to the Oval Office that produced what amounted to glam shots for Russian state-news and official social-media channels.
Following Wednesday's meeting, members of the White House press corp were finally allowed into the Oval Office. But by that time, the ambassador and foreign minister had safely ducked out, and U.S. press found President Trump and Henry Kissinger, the highly controversial Nixon-era secretary of state, sitting side-by-side for a photo op.
What happened during Kissinger and Trump's private discussion on Wednesday? The conversation quickly steered towards Russia as a regional power, a Trump administration official, who was briefed on the exchanges, confirmed to The Daily Beast. Kissinger advised President Trump on possible "avenues of cooperation" that could be negotiated between the two geopolitical adversaries, especially with regards to the fight against ISIS, and Islamist terror groups in Syria.
On Thursday morning, U.S. newspapers such as The New York Times were forced to credit the Russian Foreign Ministry for photos appearing in their publications. "It's beyond insulting, it really is," another senior administration official said of U.S. media's reliance on the news service of an adversarial foreign government.
"It's boneheaded on so many levels but it's certainly insulting to the U.S. press to be forced to use TASS photos and to identify [Russian state media] as its source for a meeting between Lavrov and Trump," the official said.
Asked about the White House's explanation for TASS's presence at the event, the official suggested that it knew or should have known the nature of the news service's work—and that its photos would eventually be published. "Of course they knew what TASS was, everybody does," the official said. "If they didn't then it's a pretty shameful admission, honestly."
The embarrassment that officials described at TASS's access to the event compounded frustration at Lavrov's opportunistic trolling at the meeting. Peppered with press questions on his way to the event, Lavrov sarcastically feigned shock that Trump had the day before fired FBI director James Comey amid his investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
On Thursday, a spokesman for Lavrov was indignant at suggestions that TASS's presence at the meeting might have left the Oval Office vulnerable to espionage activities such as wiretapping.
Those reports are "making our [TASS] correspondents feel like Jews in 1933," the spokesman said.

Nationwide Protests Over George Floyd's Death Turn Violent
By Doug Glass	• Published May 28, 2020 • Updated on May 29, 2020 at 6:34 am
Cheering protesters broke into a Minneapolis police precinct station on Thursday after the department abandoned it, setting it ablaze and igniting fireworks as three days of violent protests spread to cities across the U.S over the death of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man.
A police spokesman confirmed late Thursday that staff had evacuated the 3rd precinct station, the focus of many of the protests, "in the interest of the safety of our personnel" shortly after 10 p.m. Livestream video showed the protesters entering the building, where fire alarms blared and sprinklers ran as blazes were set.
Protesters could be seen setting fire to a Minneapolis Police Department jacket and cheering.
Late Thursday, President Donald Trump blasted the "total lack of leadership" in Minneapolis. "Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts," he said on Twitter.
I can't stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right.....
....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
Protests first erupted Tuesday, a day after Floyd's death in a confrontation with police captured on widely seen citizen video. On the video, Floyd can be seen pleading that he can't breathe as Officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, kneels on his neck. As minutes pass, Floyd slowly stops talking and moving. The 3rd Precinct covers the portion of south Minneapolis where Floyd died.
Walz earlier Thursday activated the National Guard at the Minneapolis mayor's request, but it wasn't immediately clear when and where the Guard was being deployed, and none could be seen during protests in Minneapolis or St. Paul. The Guard tweeted minutes after the precinct burned that it had activated more than 500 soldiers across the metro area.
The Guard tweeted that a "key objective" was to make sure fire departments could respond to calls, and said in a follow-up tweet it was "here with the Minneapolis Fire Department" to assist. But no move was made to put out the 3rd Precinct fire. A department spokesman didn't immediately respond to a phone call. Fire Chief John Fruetel told CNN that the department couldn't get to the scene for safety reasons.
We have activated more than 500 soldiers to St. Paul, Minneapolis and surrounding communities. Our mission is to protect life, preserve property and the right to peacefully demonstrate. A key objective is to ensure fire departments are able to respond to calls.
— MN National Guard (@MNNationalGuard) May 29, 2020

Earlier Thursday, dozens of businesses across the Twin Cities boarded up their windows and doors in an effort to prevent looting, with Minneapolis-based Target announcing it was temporarily closing two dozen area stores. Minneapolis shut down nearly its entire light-rail system and all bus service through Sunday out of safety concerns.
In St. Paul, clouds of smoke hung in the air as police armed with batons and wearing gas masks and body armor kept a watchful eye on protesters along one of the city's main commercial corridors, where firefighters also sprayed water onto a series of small fires. At one point, officers stood in line in front of a Target, trying to keep out looters, who were also smashing windows of other businesses.
Hundreds of demonstrators returned Thursday to the Minneapolis neighborhood at the center of the violence, where the nighttime scene veered between an angry protest and a street party. At one point, a band playing in a parking lot across from the police's 3rd Precinct, the focus of the protests, broke into a punk version of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song." Nearby, demonstrators carried clothing mannequins from a looted Target and threw them onto a burning car. Later, a building fire erupted nearby.
Gov. Tim Walz called in the National Guard to Minneapolis on Thursday to help with escalating protests in response to the fatal arrest of George Floyd.
But elsewhere in Minneapolis, thousands of peaceful demonstrators marched through the streets calling for justice.
Floyd's death has deeply shaken Minneapolis and sparked protests in cities across the U.S. Local leaders have repeatedly urged demonstrators to avoid violence.
"Please stay home. Please do not come here to protest. Please keep the focus on George Floyd, on advancing our movement and on preventing this from ever happening again," tweeted St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, who is black.
Erika Atson, 20, was among thousands of people who gathered outside government offices in downtown Minneapolis, where organizers had called a peaceful protest. Many protesters wore masks because of the coronavirus pandemic, but there were few attempts at social distancing.
Atson, who is black, described seeing her 14- and 11-year-old brothers tackled by Minneapolis police years ago because officers mistakenly presumed the boys had guns. She said she had been at "every single protest" since Floyd's death and worried about raising children who could be vulnerable in police encounters.

"We don't want to be here fighting against anyone. We don't want anyone to be hurt. We don't want to cause any damages," she said. "We just want the police officer to be held accountable."
The group marched peacefully for three hours before another confrontation with police broke out, though details were scarce.
After calling in the Guard, Walz urged widespread changes in the wake of Floyd's death.
"It is time to rebuild. Rebuild the city, rebuild our justice system and rebuild the relationship between law enforcement and those they're charged to protect," Walz said.
Much of the Minneapolis violence occurred in the Longfellow neighborhood, where protesters converged on the precinct station of the police who arrested Floyd. In a strip mall across the street from the 3rd Precinct station, the windows in nearly every business had been smashed, from the large Target department store at one end to the Planet Fitness gym at the other. Only the 24-hour laundromat appeared to have escaped unscathed.
"WHY US?" demanded a large expanse of red graffiti scrawled on the wall of the Target. A Wendy's restaurant across the street was charred almost beyond recognition.

Among the casualties of the overnight fires: a six-story building under construction that was to provide nearly 200 apartments of affordable housing.
"We're burning our own neighborhood," said a distraught Deona Brown, a 24-year-old woman standing with a friend outside the precinct station, where a small group of protesters were shouting at a dozen or so stone-faced police officers in riot gear. "This is where we live, where we shop, and they destroyed it." No officers could be seen beyond the station.
"What that cop did was wrong, but I'm scared now," Brown said.
Others in the crowd saw something different in the wreckage.
Protesters destroyed property "because the system is broken," said a young man who identified himself only by his nickname, Cash, and who said he had been in the streets during the violence. He dismissed the idea that the destruction would hurt residents of the largely black neighborhood.
"They're making money off of us," he said angrily of the owners of the destroyed stores. He laughed when asked if he had joined in the looting or violence. "I didn't break anything."
The protests that began Wednesday night and extended into Thursday were more violent than Tuesday's, which included skirmishes between offices and protesters but no widespread property damage.
Mayor Jacob Frey appealed for calm but the city's response to the protests was quickly questioned as things started spiraling into violence. "If the strategy was to keep residents safe — it failed," City Council Member Jeremiah Ellison, who is black, tweeted. "Prevent property damage — it failed." On Thursday, he urged police to leave the scene of the overnight violence, saying their presence brings people into the streets.
But Eric Kowalczyk, a police captain in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray riots in 2015, generally supported the Minneapolis police strategy to avoid confrontations with protesters when possible, saying heavy-handed police responses are only met with more violence.
"Nobody wants to see their city on fire, but at the same time, you don't want to see citizens injured by the very police department they are protesting," he said.
Protests have also spread to other U.S. cities. In New York City, protesters defied New York's coronavirus prohibition on public gatherings Thursday, clashing with police. NBC New York reports more than 40 people were arrested in Manhattan's Union Square.
In Oakland, California, about 20 protesters briefly occupied an intersection, according to NBC Bay Area.
Also Thursday, demonstrators blocked traffic in downtown Denver. Hundreds of demonstrators stood in the downtown streets and chanted as darkness fell outside the Colorado State Capitol, where protesters spray-painted graffiti and broke car windows. In other areas of downtown Denver, police fired gas canisters and used rubber bullets to drive away people who were blocking streets. The protest briefly spilled over onto Interstate 25, blocking all lanes of traffic until police used tear gas to drive them away.
The moment a car ran over a protester in Denver, Colo., during a George Floyd protest was captured on camera Thursday.
The protests continued into the night, despite Denver Mayor Michael Hancock pleading for calm.
"I certainly understand everyone's frustration and sense of pain and disgust following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis," he in a video posted on Twitter. "But I want to plead to everyone. Let's demonstrate, but let's demonstrate peacefully. Leave the weapons home."
Earlier in the protest, gunfire outside the state Capitol sent people running for cover. Gary Cutler, a spokesman for the Colorado State Patrol, said the shots were fired in a park across the street. Most of the protesters already had left the area and were marching downtown.
A passenger in a car driving on the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles captured protesters marching into traffic.
Cutler said the Capitol building was locked down, and everyone inside was safe. No injuries have been reported from the shots.
A protest in Louisville, Kentucky, turned violent late Thursday when seven people were shot. At least one person is in critical condition, police said. Suspects were taken into custody, although it's not clear how many. The protest was in response to the death of Breonna Taylor, a black woman who was shot by police in her home in March.

A day earlier, demonstrators had taken to the streets in Los Angeles and Memphis.
Amid the violence in Minneapolis, a man was found fatally shot Wednesday night near a pawn shop, possibly by the owner, authorities said.
Fire crews responded to about 30 intentionally set blazes, and multiple fire trucks were damaged by rocks and other projectiles, the fire department said. No one was hurt by the blazes.
The city on Thursday released a transcript of the 911 call that brought police to the grocery store where Floyd was arrested. The caller described someone paying with a counterfeit bill, with workers rushing outside to find the man sitting on a van. The caller described the man as "awfully drunk and he's not in control of himself." Asked by the 911 operator whether the man was "under the influence of something," the caller said: "Something like that, yes. He is not acting right." Police said Floyd matched the caller's description of the suspect.
The U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI in Minneapolis said Thursday they were conducting "a robust criminal investigation" into the death. President Donald Trump has said he had asked an investigation to be expedited.
The FBI is also investigating whether Floyd's civil rights were violated.
Chauvin, the officer who kneeled on Floyd's neck, was fired Tuesday with three other officers involved in the arrest. The next day, the mayor called for Chauvin to be criminally charged. He also appealed for the activation of the National Guard.
Associated Press writers Steve Karnowski and Jeff Baenen in Minneapolis, and Gretchen Ehlke in Milwaukee, contributed to this report.
