Worst Possible Draw

I am brand new to Dominion.  I have been playing for a month or so and find it extremely addicting.  Especially with all the expansions.  So much good reading in this forum.  I have been using the simple "Big Money" strategy to get a hold on the game and have played numerous solitaire games just with the "Big Money" strategy.  As all the writings and comments suggest, it takes an average of about 16 - 18 turns to reach 4 Provinces.  As I am getting bored of "Big Money" and find that it is finally time to start adding the actual action cards, I thought I would go after one final problem in the "Big Money" arena and see how many turns it could possibly take to get to 4 Provinces given the worst possible draws.  I apologize if somebody has already done this and if so, maybe you can direct me to the post.  I realize there is really no value other than curious interest.  I got 31 turns given 2 "no draws" on turn two and three.  Would be interested to know how accurate this is.

Great forum, great game!

Darryl

I remember people figuring this one out (it might have been for eight provinces though), but I don't know where it is...

tl;dr version: ~35-40 turns with normal reshuffling to a maximum of ~55-65 turns depending on stuff and things.
