Comments: | Hi guys,
okay, I just got the missing video, but there´s still one problem left: It´s not the claimed 10, but a 9 ain´t bad either, eh? Who likes to see the vid, just mail! And thanks to all of you who kept me from retiring on my ass ![]() ![]() |

Comments: | Yeah Stephan, that does make sense. It did look like your mouse pointer was moving slower than someone who could score a 66 would move it, so the delay with that video program explains everything. |

Comments: | Thanks Georgi for explaining. You're exactly right. My video is not the game itself, but a video of Sorin's player playing a recorded game. That player doesn't always play the recorded games with original speed. The player's time counter indeed works as exactly as the "normal" time counter. I could make a video of my 66 game that would take only 40 seconds, but nevertheless the built-in counter would go to 66 in that time. Hope, that everyone understands the differences between Yoni's and my videos. Of course, I could record some games directly with Camtasia running, but it's easier to keep running Sorin's program and record a player video when having finished a fast game. |

Comments: | Most probably when Stephan recorded with Camtasia his game (captured by Sorin's program)the player did not played at actual rate... If you have Sorin's player you will know what I am talking about. But I beleive that Stephan's counter moved at same pace as Yoni's one did ... Have a nice day! |

Comments: | Yeah, i just tested it and i really cant explain why this is such a difference. Actually Stephans Vid is about 80 seconds, and Yonis seems to be nearly allright. Till now i thought that this 2nd timer bug would make 2-3 sec. max...![]() |

I am using a computer which came with xp on it and i noticed that in the xp version of minesweeper, the grid is 9x9 whereas on my versions of 3.1 and 98 the grid is 8x8. What gives, why would it be different? Do i just have a faulty version? has this been brought up before? |

AN otptical mouse allows younto move quicker and not worry about the trackball not being clean, mty times (as subpar as they may be) suffer greatly when playing with a trackball |

Comments: | Roland,
Your arithmetic is not correct. I've had many 20sec inter boards with 60 3BV boards or more, it means nothing. It has already been discussed here that if we could follow this arithmetic, Lasse would have subbed-30 on expert, and people like Damien, Dan or Matt would already have got many 6 or 7 on inter !
But I trust you anyway about your 10 ! Congrats !![]() |

Comments: | If netherland can do so, germany can do so even better *g. Mal auf deutsch; muss sein. Also um das klarzustellen Roland: Ich glaub dir ja inzwischen auch. Aber ein Video wär ja schon nicht schlecht. Hatten ja schon wohl Faker genug hier und schwer ist es ja auch nicht gerade, zu bescheissen. Gerade bei dem DreamBoard ist es ja schon leicht möglich eine Top Zeit zu bekommen, gerade wenn man sich nur auf das Board konzentriert. Das mach ich nicht, weil ich es nicht so oft bekomme wie du. Eher so alle 70.000 Mal. Ganz klar ist ja schon mal, dass ich misstrauisch bin ,wenn einer so eine Karriere hinlegt wie du, also hau ma nich so auf die Kacke, denn großkotzig kommst du ja schon rüber. Schreib mir in nem vernünfitigem Ton, neu bin ich ja auch net, und dann läuft das, ne, verstehen uns! Viel Glück bei deiner 9 und du sollst das Board nicht " in dein Herz " nehmen... es reicht , wenn du das auf Video aufnimmst. |

Comments: | One more thing, Steffen! I just played (started) about 1000-1500 Interm. games with camtasia running! Didn´t get the dreamboard but managed to make a nonflag video of a 20 sec. game with a 3BV of 53! This makes a click ratio of 2.65. The dreamboard has a 3BV of 30! 30/2.65 is 11.3! Considering the facts that I know the dreamboard by heart and flag in it to spare clicks 10 sec. can very well be. Right?! You said one must prove to be able to get records nearby! Hope this does! Otherwise I´m starting to like this! I would have settled down on Inter, but now all I play is Inter and I won´t settle before a 9-10 video! Greetings, Roli! ![]() |

Comments: | Okay, I found out that Camtasia works kinda alright when I don´t listen to music nearby. I try to get a sub20 at least on video, otherwise I guess it will be 1 day-2 month till to my next dreamboard! I´ll practise with vid till then! I´ve made two more screenshots of my 2 dreamboards before I screwed up on half way, same mine and one 9 and a 5! I think they can take away some suspicion! Otherwise I understand, I would have reacted same way! But hey, I´m not the kind of guy wo wants to have a record not achieved by myself! Of what use would it be? Then I would have more records till now! I´ll send you all stuff in a minute Steffen! To Floeren:
Yes it is a great feeling! As just said I screwed up two before this and you lose nervosity with every board and also when you know you get one about every week! ![]() ![]() |

Comments: | The thing is, we had the discussion before and the result was, that people with those good times just have to prove that they can at least have games comin close to those records they might have. And Camtasia can work on every computer, doesnt it? Screenshots just can be faked too easy. Even with WinPaint its no prob. Dont understand me wrong Roli, but one must admit that its kind of suspicious. |

Comments: | Good job Chris. Now you are 3 seconds ahead of me. I have had a few games at good pace including a sure 75/76 lost with 6 mines left. That would give me a total of 98/99 so it is not too far off; however, my goal of 5 months, to be sub-100 ny October, seems unlikely (but at least the speed is there).
Floeren: During the summer I never played less than 1 hour, and usually 2-3 hours a day. Now, during school, I average about 20 minutes a day (or so I tell my girlfreind ![]() |

I just can't follow the videos on this site, it's not reasonable anymore. My I ask how many hours a day do you guys spend practising? I suppose it's a huge amount.
Anyway, thanks to you I have a reason to keep on practising, and I will!! I'll try to play without the flags and see how it ends.
Keep up the good work and you will hear about my progression,... (soon).

Comments: | Roelof, the last five lists you sent me were sent at GMT 19:22, 19:42, 21:12, 20:07, and 19:27. I didn't realize three of the last five lists were early. I must not have been checking my email in the hour before the deadline. |

Comments: | Crap! But in that case, shouldn't it have been that way all summer? Or did I just sent the list 1 hour after the deadline every time? Hmm, I'll wait till GMT+2 the next periods. So if Holland introduces winter time, I can be sure that it's GMT+1 again? |

Comments: | Yep, I just checked the Greenwich Mean Time web site and Dutch time is GMT +2. US Central Time is GMT -5 through October 26th, then changes to GMT -6 for the winter. |

Comments: | Roelof, lloigor is right: during summer time period, there are 2 hours difference between GMT and central european summer time. So deadline time in Holland is - as in Germany - 22:00. |

Comments: | I'm afraid the times on your computer aren't correct, because not only my mailbox says I sent it at 21:30 Dutch time, but I had an appointment at 22:00 as well, so I looked on my watch several times and I know it was 21:30 indeed. I've sent you a test mail at 11:18 Dutch time (1018 GMT). |

Comments: | This was the only time I've received the list early, but I'm positive it was early this time. First, I remember receiving the email and my first thought was that it was early. Second, I just went and checked the time on the email and indeed I received it at 2:27pm US central daylight time which is 19:27 GMT. |

Comments: | Stephan told me Owen was in time indeed, so that's allright. I made a reservation on that. I don't know about the guestbook's time, but I sent you the list at 21:30 Dutch time (2030 GMT if I'm not totally mad all of a sudden), which is half an hour after the deadline. 21:00 Dutch time has always been the deadline in my opinion...do you always get the list before the deadline or just this time? Because if it is this period only, you are mistaken, but if it is every period the same, there is a misunderstanding between the two of us. |

Comments: | Roelof, Owen posted his scores at guestbook time 11:54am. The active ranking deadline is at guestbook time 1:00pm, so he still had an hour to spare. You actually sent me the list about 30 minutes before the deadline. |

Comments: | Manu: thanks, it was close indeed... Bakir is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, I thought his scores were listed on this site. Grzegorz: Dan is right, I didn't get your e-mail. But in my opinion we should treat you the same way as Owen, so if you post your scores here, Dan will fit you in (unless he thinks different). |

Comments: | within the past 3 weeks i have had two one second games on beginner, but the thing is both were complete luck. Both times i was just clicking around to start the game and all of the sudden the new record box came up (the games were on different computers). Has anyone else ever had this experience and if yes, has it ever happened twice?? Ive done beginner in two seconds on a few occassions but still these random one second games are quite odd. Ill take em but it feels kinda cheap. |

Comments: | There was no difference between my stopwatch and minesweeper timer after 300 seconds with Camtasia, Morpheus, Kazaa, paint, word, solitare, and whatever else I could think of, running. My cpu is: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.54 GHz. I have windows XP. (Which is probably what the Athlon XP means![]() |

Comments: | Dan, you're right I should have added a second there.. I think the best way to count is to start the stopper when minesweeper time reaches 5 or 10 and then decrease this number from the final time. I counted from 10 and when the timer was on 70 my stopper reached 1:02.31 - 2.31 seconds difference. Steffen, i don't remember where I got my crack from but I always use www.astalavista.com to search for cracks- you can probably find a crack there. |

Comments: | A good way to say it is that you should start the stopwatch and the minesweeper timer so they each hit 2 seconds at the same time. Then it is easy to tell how slow the minesweeper timer is compared to what it should be. I think Steffen's timer test solidifies the theory that minesweeper versions prior to Windows 2000/XP not only have the timer jump bug, but also have a slow timer bug. The Windows 2000/XP version seems to have fixed both bugs. |

Comments: | as i think dan pointed out somewhere, if you're timing, start the timer on 2 sec (so the timer jump doesn't get counted). one point i haven't thought about before: if the difference is less than 2 seconds, about a 1'3rd of the the time the timer skip will negate the effect. |

Comments: | Yoni, because of the minesweeper timer starting on 1 your timer was slower by 5.10 seconds, not 3.10. Thus, your timer on the 100 MHz computer is 3 seconds slow after 1 minute. |
