That damn minesweeper game on my PC has been my ruin for grades in school : ) If i'm sitting down doing homework I will work for about 10 minutes, and then I hear minesweeper calling me to play it. Of course, I do and this will continue for several hours haha. I'm just curious on everbyody's best times. Here are mine:
Beginner: 8 seconds
Intermediate: 46 seconds
Expert: 146 seconds
I figured I would be better w/ playing it so much but oh well :rolleyes:
I recall how I once started it up a long time ago, in the default beginner mode and what not, then left-clicked randomly on it, moved the mouse in a casual wave and let go...and it solved itself. No options altered, just the default mode. In one second. I was in awe. >.<
Yeah, I had beginner mode done in two seconds once. There's no skill there, you just have to get really lucky with the mines.
Sometimes it falls down to gueswork
that game is so darn addictive. Still have not been able to complete the expert mode yet....I got so close, I was down to the last two squares and I had to guess!
Not quite as good as space invaders
Ive had beginner done in 6 seconds and expert in 240
Intermediate was 90 something
Its an aoblsutely amazing game, i just ahte it when you spend ages and then you fall into a position where there is no possible way of working out it out. You guess. You die. lol
pah, wash your mouth out with soapQuote:
Not quite as good as space invaders
Beginner: 5 seconds
Intermediate: 45 seconds...
I haven't even beaten the hardest one...I rarely play that one.
I find it hard to believe you got those and have never beaten hard =PQuote:

might see if I can find that again
i know how to play but i suck
Once my brother was playing on easy, and he got it on the first click! His time was 1 second!!!!!!
Hahah, aye, I was wondering if anyone else had the same luck. (See my above post.)Quote:

You just don't uncover any mines, right?
yeah, and in poker you just have to beat the other guy's cards
No, the numbers tell you how many mines are near it, you left click where you think the mine is, which makes a red flag. It tells you how many mines there are. Yeah.Quote:

Apparently I don't know how to play. I didn't know you could win in one click. Some one please tell me how to play!
You start by clicking on a grey square in the box.
If the number is a 1, then there is only 1 mine in the 8 surrounding boxes, leaving you free to click the other 7. but to find that out, you need to click a one somewhere else and see what that number is. If you find a square which you believe to be a mine, Right click it, and it should turn into a red flag. Leave this till the end and till you have found all the mines and clicked all the safe squares
And there is a cheat, but won't say it because of people cheating on their times :P
Easy 7 seconds
Intermediate 61
Hard 337
I really don't care lol.
My best score in solitaire is -31, vegas style

Don't see how it would help your time though.
How do you start the game? Do you just guess a few sqaures to start if off? I always click the four corners, then maybe a few in the middle first, then I start to look at the numbers to actually play.
Yeah, I usually keep clicking til I get a rather large set, then, I start. I'm kinda rusty. Though, the other day, I went from a 70 (seconds) to like...54...I was SO happy. I gotta start getting back into it so I can beat my sister-in-law's 43 score. She beat my best score by 2!! :mad: [on intermediate]Quote:
