hey CHRIS i just want you to know that i play tennis. i don't care if that is what you think about the sport, it is a free country. you know at least i do something that is worth while and requires some kinda athletic ability. i bet you that more then half of the people that play minesweeper are fat other then their fingers. you might as well be sitting down clicking the remote cuz you would be just as fat as you are now. |

this is to april, and paul i know you said not to respond but i just have too. i am an often visitor of this site and a even more often player. minesweeper is more then just a bunch of flags and mines and numbers. it has feelings too as well as many other games such as solitare and freecell. minesweeper is pretty much my life and i do make a living doing it. i spent a couple of years in california with the actual creators of the game and they are really nice people. but as i was saying i do make a living playing the game professionally and it does pay more then an executive at a well known company which is probably more then you will ever make in your entire life considering you closed-minded opinions and negitive attitude to other peoples professions. so next time you decided to criticize anything what-so-ever, try and think about the people who love their life, and my life and im sure other pupils is to is minesweeper. i mean, i wouldnt say anything about tennis players even though i think that it is an incredibly ignoramous sport and a waste of time. ![]() |

Bleh. Rule for troll posts: Don't ever respond to them. Ever. EVER! Why? 1. Mostly they don't come back, EVER, to witness the dull responses they evoke. 2. If they do come back, and they see responses, they just get worse. |

How contradictory it is giving out to use for being losers. Surely only a loser would waste their time preaching to losers. Therefore if we aren't losers April was wrong and even if we are losers, then this makes april a loser too (for time-wasting preaching) and she has no right to give out to us. Either way, you're crap! I'll rest my case there. ![]() I don't usually dignify those with responses but there was too much humour in the original post. |

Hi april! I think you're a loser too, if you spent time here, or not? By the way...i think minesweeper is a just a game, and if someone likes to play it, so why shouldn't they do it? I don't need to pay anyone to get laid, except YOUR MOTHER! ![]() ![]() I have a great life, a great girl, and i like to spend sometime playing minesweeper. Is it a bad thing?

I'm afraid that I'm caught with working down in Galway for the summer so it's virtually impossible to get decent times for m/s. The computer setups here are pretty poor. Still I go home every so often so I'll keep the AR up. On matters more folicular, I got my hair cut today, the first time in 1 year and 3 months. It made €500 for Heart Children Ireland (my sis has a heart condition). Still I feel naked ![]() ![]() |

I haven't posted a message for some time, but I wanted to complain about my stupid self... How can one finish a 31 3BV board in 22 seconds? It should be 18-19 by my standards of gameplay, or 12-14 for a top player. I played all night but nothing similar came up. My hand hurt like hell and i'm so damn depressed. Still haven't broken the 80. Still 3 seconds short of that magic sub-100 total. Help me! ![]() |

sorry for clogginig my own gb, but i wanted to say that after complaining yesterday i managed a 2 and a 53 in a couple hours of play (my average last night was still over 60 but it was a good board). so, i still might not submit times this week, but at least there's hope. good to see you around lasse...i was beginning to think that your girlfriend was distracting you too much. ![]() |

Been playing a little the last couple of weeks, finding some kind of form. Not finishing too much, and wildly varying times, but a no-flagging 57 on a 142 3bv board feels like a step in the right direction. |

It feels pretty good to drop my expert by 27 seconds. If I could do that to my intermediate, I'd be one of the best intermediate minesweepers on the planet. I know my scores are not quite as impressive as most of yours, but I'll get there. |

helloo guys...just writing to bitch. i've almost quit playing this month (4h total) as my game has gone down the crapper. my best beg? a 4. int, a lone 19 and my sole sub-60 for the month is an astounding (yes, say that again) 58. my other fantastic scores for the month are a dozen 20-somethings, and about five completed expert games all above 60. (but less than 65). so, i have a total of 81 so far this ranking. the week i left university to work for the summer, i got a 48 or better every second expert game and was averaging 16 on int, and getting 2's within 10 min. it's disheartening. sorry about the page guys. (its heart's still beating). |

YES!! My first sub-100.. There were a couple times that I had been close to breaking it before and messed up right at the end. I finally did it.. This time on a 158-3bv. I guess my next challenge will be getting down to this time consistently. Right now i'm around 110-125 on average. |

Steve, there have been a couple of people who regularly visit these forums who have gotten extremely low scores w/o cheating... but the scores are not legit. The reason is that for some reason, on rare occasions, the clock seems to slow to under 1/2 its normal speed. Usually this happens when people are running a lot of programs simultaneously, but it is a known problem. Even if you are not faking the time, it is pretty widely believed that sub35 just isnt possible. So far the lowest 3bv on an expert board has been shown in the 80's, which is hard even to score a 31 on in intermediate, much less expert. |

Well Martin, until someone tells me how it's possible to fake or to slow down the clock, that is my 'real' time. Don't get me wrong here, I really do want to know if it's possible to fake and how. Since I obviously have no idea how to do it, I assure you I didn't. For anyone to suggest that the clock just stopped, well, thanks for insinuating that I'm simply THAT vacuous as to not notice... Anyhoo, ignorant comments from the peanut gallery aside, I've got this Camtasia thing now and have just recorded a 67 - I guess I'll just keep updating it until I have some proof of a world record time. Does Camtasia constitute proof, or am I going to find out later that that can be faked as well? Just figured I might as well check beforehand from now on. -Steve |

I was wondering if anyone else plays the same way as me. I got bored of doing expert (not that I was fast), and went to custom. I set the size as large as possible, and see how many bombs I can put in. I started at about 180, then 200, and my best is now 214. It takes me a VERY long time to beat the ones up that high. Anyway, I was just wondering if there are any records of most bombs with the size at full capacity. Dave |

Hey all, Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that finished very few boards that I've had a good start at. Damn 50/50's. Later. |

Steve, I think he's refering to your expert record. I saw your post about it some time ago and I have heard of a player that got a 21 because of some timer bug. I think that's what happened to you too. Anyway, I think you should write your 'real' record instead ![]() But more important: Keep sweeping! ![]() |

Wow, nice to see some new, fresh players! To answer some of the questions in a lump: yes, everyone hits a wall that they can't seem to get past, but after learning more patterns and recognizing them sooner, your time will fall. It is also common to finish very few games. Personally, I finish maybe 5-10% of the games that I actually get a fair start on (games that I have spent more than 10-15 seconds on), for expert. However, I think the world record holder on expert finishes substantially more boards than that, though I'm not certain. If you really want to improve yourself, you should compete against the other players for best times during a two week period. We do this in what we call the Active Ranking. Check out www.active-ranking.de.vu for more details. Don't be scared by some of the faster times you see there, because we all started where you are. Good luck, and happy sweeping!

Hi everyone! I've been playing minesweeper for... *checking screenshots*... almost 2 months now, the first screenshot I took was a 180 on expert (end of april). Now I'm pretty much stuck on 123, having trouble to click fast without missing the square I want. I guess it will get better with time. Right? Please say yes? Ohw and.. Dave.. I feel your pain, most of my games end with a missed guess (which at a closer look was no guess at all, but before my brain catches up the click's already made). And just to be polite... Greetings from Slovenia ![]() |

Hey Dave, those are some pretty good numbers, for a beginner. Not bad for only a month's work. I would say that after clearing the first big section that I complete upwards of 75 percent of my boards. If, however, I'm going for speed I'd have to say less than 40 percent... Good luck, Steve |

Hi everyone! I was wondering if you guys can help me out. I just started playing minesweeper about a month or so ago. I've been playing intermediate since then, but I just started playing expert a couple of days ago. There are a lot of 50/50 choices!!! Arghh!!!! I'm finding it really hard to lower my expert score because I keep screwing up. I only finish probably 5%-10% of the games that I start (after a first large clear). I was wondering what percentage of the games that you guys start, do you finish? |

AR: 57-17-3 that ties my scores of the last period (58-16-3) ![]() |

Hey Elmar, it's unbelievable that two of fastest german minesweepers are born on the same date. Happy birthday to you! And thanks to all the other congratulators. My only birthday present I could make myself yesterday in one hour of playing was a 16 (to AR scores of 3-16-66) after I lost a 58 (3BV 121) with 3 squares left... So, my records will hopefully come during Whitsun days. ![]() |

Yeah!!! I never have to play beginner again!! I had just missed a 73 on a 50/50 so I got frustrated. I switched to beginner(which I never play) to try to find the highest 3bv I could. After about 10 minutes, the record box popped up. I stared at it for a couple of seconds, and realised that I had just completed a beginner board with a 3bv of 2 in 1 second. This more than made up for the expert miss. It is on xp, but I don't care. The fact that I had to click a second time makes me happy. A monkey could get 1sec with a 3bv of 1. Now my sum moves down to 97, and I hope it won't stop there. P.S. Cool how it says "1 seconds" on the score board. They can't really have expected anyone to get 1 sec when they made it. |

I saw that eclipse too, but it was just 90% in Hamburg. I went with some friends on the top of a tower that was under construction, I think it was the 15th floor. The sun was covered with clouds all the time, but in the minute where the eclipse was greatest, the clouds disappeared. It was really great. I didn't play minesweeper a lot in the last 3 weeks, and I became really bad. I only finished 3 expert boards. Here my last times: 87 90 89 88 85 80 96 95 98 guess when i stopped ![]() |

Finally, I got a sub 20 after a year and a half...unfortunately it was on the dreamboard. But I'm still counting it cause I've been in a slump lately anyway. Congrats to Elmar and all the rest of you speed freaks out there. I'm at 102-total right now, but I have a feeling that'll change before long. Finally, some motivation! Keep sweeping. |

Thanks Stephan and Grzegorz. That's what happens when you do a left click which doesn't start the game but couter_rec thinks it does. my game actually started with the second click. so you must subtract .17 secs. later in the video count_rec doesn't realize that i flagged that mine (which it had already uncovered) and my double clicks have no effect. |

Just back from Scotland. The eclipse was... well I don't think any amount of superlatives can adequately describe it. 97% of the sky was clear bar the tiny patch covering just the horizon the sun was to rise (and be eclipsed) in. We had admitted defeat when, at 04:47:03, the clouds, seemingly miraculously, parted bearing the sun's annularity. (I don't know a proper analogy but the one that comes to mind is the movie cliche where the bomb disposal guy stops the bomb with a second to go). It turns out that village we were staying in was the only one to get annularity- Sir Patrick Moore down the road even missed it. I was most pleased for a friend I brought with me, who had never seen an eclipse. He was ecstatic. Did anyone else get a view? Anyway, back to minesweeper ... |
