Comments: Manu, great job! 12 is really good. I hope to get there once too... I'm struggling to sub-20, I'm fast but I screw up everything. I missed two 15's yesterday. Ben Cimino: great improvement man. You should cherish it because there may well be a day that improving 60s is just plain impossible , even if we put no limits to our possible speed and thinking.

Comments: Listen Frank, Do you have any idea of how Saddam treats the Iraqi people? Do you have any idea how dangerous this man is to the world? And how do you dare to say that the Iraqi people are the 'real' victims? They are victims indeed, because Saddam is their leader. Left-wing pacifist without being able to think realistic. What I just said doesn't mean everyone should support a war against Iraq, but the way this fellow looked at it was just so...dumb.

Comments: The thing is - It's not all about how high or low the 3bv is. Certain low 3bv boards may have really easy mine patterns and other lower bv boards may have more complex mine patterns making that board more time consuming to complete. Taking me for example, I got a 57 with a bv of 125 and another 57 with a bv of 164. That said, It's also about how you play that particular game and sometimes you play a board to its near potential making a great score out of a high bv. Ot seems you did that Lasse on your recent 53. Well done!

Comments: the camtasia link is invalid...go to www.tucows.com and search within the site for camtasia. there is one online site with a 3D minesweeper globe (Global Minesweeper) and it works on a triangular grid but i don't like it. I was also just sent a trial version with several levels and multiple 3D shapes to try out...it's okay, except the for the way turning is connected to how you move your mouse (the other edges slide in and out of view un-smoothly). my internet connection won't be hooked up until next tues...an overload of students have booked it up. sorry ponny about my mail...right now pics will only go through if you send it to daalmo@hotmail.com...i'll get them there. congrats

Comments: Owen, as Manu told, press Alt+PrtSc, then open "Microsoft Photo Editor" (a tool delivered with MS Office) and choose Edit/Paste as new image (literally translated from the german version). Then you get screenshots without unnecessary borders. To keep the original quality, you can choose png-format, jpg-format with high quality oder maybe even gif.

Comments: Why won't any of the 3bv readers work on this shitty pc of mine - rather my brother's. The only thing I can think of is if I am creating images that are somehow flawed. Do you guys just print screen of the minesweeper board that is finished, paste onto paint program and then select only the minesweeper image and paste that onto a new paint and leave out the background? Hope you understand and can replay cause it's tearing me apart! Not at all in full honesty

As for expert I wrecked a few sub 60s but only managed a 62. best for next period is 3-15-62 Keep up the good work Dave and always try refine your technique.

Comments: Something about the Active Ranking again: My Outlook Express crashed some days ago, which means I have to go to the Hotmail site to get the scores for the AR. You will all know what that means: opening a message, returning to the homepage, opening the next message. Something I can't do offline. With Outlook, I could receive all the messages and then make the list offline. I'd like to ask you to use your scores as the subject of the e-mail. I really liked reading the 'real' e-mails and I used to react to everything, but with this new situation it costs me too much time You can always send e-mail to my regular adress by the way. And I won't kill you if you forget to put the scores in the subject line it's just a request. Thanks Roelof

Comments: btw the new version can help get 3BV statistics- if you use the renaming utility (see help in the minesweeper program to understand what it does and how to use it) and rename your files so the 3BV will be in the beginning of the filename- you can then arrange the files by name and the first file will be of the lowest 3BV the last- with the highest. If you rename the files by the time- and then by the 3BV you can see the lowest and highest 3BV for each time.

Comments: I've released Minesweeper Reader Beta 2.0 It can be downloaded from my site or from the addicts group- the filename is: Minesweeper Reader Beta 2.0.exe (Don't confuse with ReaderBeta2.zip- it is an older version) To see a detailed version history- look at the version history part of the new minesweeper reader section in my site. (The Minesweeper Reader section is the most right section in the menu) I've also created a forum (using bravenet services- so it has the same smiles as in the guestbooks) Use it to report about bugs\ problems you have with program, or suggestions for improvement. (Access through the minesweeper section too) I think Owen said he has problems with the program- (if I'm not wrong) please tell me about the problem, either in the forum or just e-mail me.

Comments: Tough break, Georgi. I sure wish I could get a ~100 or below 3BV board. My 46 and 3 47s all came on boards with a 3BV of 118-136. I've screwed up every expert dreamboard so far, but I'd like another chance so I can potentially break my record. I did get a 111 a few days ago but I lost early.

Comments: Aaarrgghhhhh!!!!! I just lost an int game on the second last click (one of those 4 square, 2 mine guess situations) with the timer at 14. A 50/50 chance of a 14 (or 15 at worst) missed. (3BV was 36)

Comments: About the FIFA Under-19 Womans WC: I do not know if anyone else is folowing it, the only reason I am is because it is in my home town. If anyone saw the game between Brazil and Canada I think that they would agree that the Braziliam Football assoctiation must be punnished. For those who don't know, the Brazilans spent the entire second half kicking away the ball when the Canadians had free kicks, yelling and even pushing the ref, diving, and pretty much any other unsportmanlike behavior imaginable. At one ponit Canada was awarded a free kick and it took her almost five minutes to take it bcause the Brazilians were kicking the ball away and and pushing her around. Of course, she missed the free kick, then the entire Brazilian side surounded her, laughing and, again, pushing her. Eventually Canada won on free kicks (the Brazilian keeper would not stay on the goal line and just ran straight at the shoot each time). What an embarasement! btw, German girls are hot

Comments: I also use an Exel spread sheet. What is a BV button? It sounds easier than what I do (just change the numbers acording to what I do). Thanks to Sorin for his inhuman patience as I try and get his program to work. He has sent me a few e-mails with the language bocomeing more and more simple. I still have only a basic understanding of all this computer talk, but I am getting a bit smarter now.

Comments: Just got the dreamboard. My first click is on a square where a mine should have been, so I have a mine shifted . After that, I have my first opening after 3 Sec only, my first clicks being inefficient . Finally, the mine shifted is gone to a place that gives me a 50-50 choice to make, making me lose stupidly another sec ! I've never been so sad to tie my record !

Comments: From my point of view, there is no reason for stopping the Active Ranking. It seems to help all players to improve their scores when they can hunt short-run goals. I think, as long as the number of participants is constant at ~30, we can go on. The 2002 champion will be crowned of course (it's quite easy to predict the likeliest name...)!

Comments: Jarad is not dumb. Today I played only non-flaging style and I got a 109 expert, which I was not happy with, and a 24 int that I was very happy with. I can't remember the 3BV or how many clicks it took me (it was on another comp), but I am sure that the numbers were low and high respectively . But anyway, my scores for this AR are 4-22-81 -> 107 which is only 1 sec off my record (Beg. record is 3) so I am quite pleased witht that, even though my placing will not change at all. Oh well. Question: Will the AR re-start after period 26? Perhaps a season champ could then be crowned, and we could all start from scratch for the next year.

Comments: Mr. X, what are you talking about? I simply prefaced my question with a self depricating comment to lighten the hearts of the readers. This is bantor. Anyway, I am quite annoyed right now because I was playing my fastest ever today and I simply could't finish any expert boards, then I got tired and tightened up and had to stop. Oh well.
