Adam, I remember before I knew the secret of the doubleclick. I bet you'll cut your scores in half within a month. Here's the details "If you have found all the mines around a numbered square, uncover the remaining squares around it by clicking the numbered square with the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously." Try it out a few times, you'll get used to it pretty quickly. |

I played expert for 30 mins yesterday. I got pretty close to a mid 70s finish on 2 of them but messed up on both. It was just after a weekend chess tournament so I was really wrecked as I was playing. I've got some free time in the next couple of days so I hope I can put my 88 to bed. Once and for all. I know it's been asked before (by myself and others) but can we have a show of hands from the chess players on this site? I've been thinking about a paralell between Blitz chess and minesweeper. Owen, we've got to meet up some time... I'll text to in the coming weeks. Happy Sweeping to all. |

Ahhhhhhhhh Almost broke my expert record. I finished the board around 50 or 51 seconds, except for the last square, which I couldn't find. Ended up finishing in 54, which is still plenty good for me, so I'm happy. I've had trouble getting anything sub 60 this year. |

Elmar: I'm a nonflagger, and my 3BV/s lays in the interval between 1,8 - 2,8 depending on the 3BV of the board. The higher 3BV, the higher 3BV/s (for some reason?!), but it's still best when the boards have low 3BV's ![]() At the moment my best exp is 70 sec on a 146 3BV board (2,1 3BV/s) and I also have a 71 sec on a 157 3BV board (2,2 3BV/s). I have only finished a sub140 3BV board once, and that was a 130 3BV board in 75 sec ![]() ![]() Steffen: You can get a free web site many places, i.e. at Yahoo! (Geocities)... The time you have to spend depends on what you would like to put on it and how professional it should look. Btw. What is the highest 3BV ever on a int board? I got a 106 3BV some days ago... |

just finished my first nf expert game. 100sec 3bv221 ![]() i'm getting pretty high 3bv/s ratios. 20% faster compared to when i flag. sometimes even as high as 6.xx 3bv/s. is that common? i'm thinking about becoming a non-flagger. i might not finish as many games, but that's ok. i like the look of an almost finished nf board. and i could mark the "flags are for looser"-box in that one poll. ![]() |

I've got some suggestions based on songs... they're gospel songs so must of you won't know them but I've noticed there were no songs of that style in your suggestions so... "Oh smiley day!" (from Oh happy day) "Amazing board" (from Amazing Grace) "A-mine" (from Amen) "Down by the board side" (from down by the river side) And as we are in the mood of adapting titles of songs to minesweeper I've thought we could change a whole song lyric to make a kind of sweeper's anthem. Wouldn't you like to have an anthem? ![]() |

Maybe I can make a shop too with some other quotes and logos, if we can't agree on one logo on for instance the T-shirt. You could also use the old quote "Shit happens" and then have a picture of i.e. Dan's missed 10 sec on int. Or what about somthing like this: "Maybe girls hate computer geeks.... ...but they sure like my minesweeper fingers" and then a big smiley below? ![]() |

I have a couple of suggestions for text on t-shirts or caps or whatever, and I suggest we make this something like the successfull limerick-competition we had a while back. Here's my suggestions: - "Sweeping my day away..." - "Did the BIG thing in less than 60 secs!" - "Oops, just killed another smiley" - "Leave me where I am, I'm only sweeping" [the beatles] - "I've got nothing to do today but sweep" [Paul Simon] - "Minesweeper is minesweeper is minesweeper" [Shakespeare] - "Click-clickety-click-e-lick-click" [James Joyce] - "My name is ______ and I'm a minesweeper-addict" - "I'm not playing fast, you're playing slow" - "Girls hate computer-geeks, but love minesweeper-fingers" (sorry 'bout that one) - "Broke three mouses in one year... damn you Win-mine" - "I'm a minesweeper, love me!" My personal favourite right now is the James Joycish. See you - Lanyjé |

Unless you use a lot of time to make the shop and the logos, I think you should make a profit of 0$... We all agree that all this is for fun and helping each other, right? Btw. I haven't got any web site or any idea to some other text on the cap, but I think it would look better with an all black cap. |

Marc, the problem with the site i'm working with is that you can only design on of each object, i ive the pics, say where they go. they makeat a base price and i an up it to make a profit, bu the base price is pretty high, the stuff is good quality, so i only make like $2 US per item. so if you want me to make a top 10 shirt there are a couple options: a swetshirt a hoody a long sleve t-shirt a baseball jersy (a t-shirt w/ colored arms) a golf shirt that's abot it unless you want fleece stuff, so take you pick ![]() |

I think that the hat on the merchandise website is cool. Other than that I think you need to spend some more time on the design and catch phrases of the T-shirts before people would be willing to buy them. |

Congrats to Ben, even if you passed me again. I see that I'm going to drop out of the Top20 sooner or later. Ryan/Steffen, my highest 3BVs are 20/72, 19/70, 18/62. But those are real exceptions. Averages are about 45-50. |

just got a 19 on a 59 3bv board. You'd think i could get lower than an 18. Oh, i hate intermediate. Oh so fustrated. Already got a 62 for the ar which i just started, so maybe that will cheer me up. |

I really like the happy faces as a logo. Especially the ope faced one. Maybe a shirt with the dream board would be cool (though I have never gotten it). I think that the "top 100 is my goal" is a little too low, because all you need is 95. I have 97 and I can honestly say that I have a fairly low aptitude for the game. Having the metanoodle.com/minesweeper site is good because it would attract more people to the site. Whatever the case, I will buy a shirt as soon as I see one I like. |

well, it was Damien's idea to put the sie on it. I thought i'd make another shirt for world records, or top 10 ppl. I just need a catchy slogan for the back, I'll probly keep the front the same, unless i can get a good pic of the win98 version icon 200 x 200 pixles for the front. e-mail me if you have any ideas, put "Wnmine merchendise" as the subject. |

I dont think the web address should be on there as this isnt an official site. Otherwise, I like it but find it too much geared towards the lower echelons of players. Like I mentioned earlier, a "world record holder" shirt might be in order. |

About the t-shirts and caps and stuff. I admit that last summer I wanted to personalize a shirt. Not with some logo, but with the screen capture of my expert record at that time. Lucky for me, I didn't do it, because I improved my record with about 40 seconds since then... I don't know, I guess I'll put THE world record (41, is it?) and write "This is my true love" below it. ![]() So we don't need a 'minesweeper shop' on web. The iron-on paper is not expensive at all. You should try it, dudes! ![]() |

just wondering after your screnshot images for the records. i tried to click on your one-second image for beginner and the link looks to a .jpg, but not one that's on your webserver. it looks like you've used some html editor that didn't clean up your links to the pictures. |

Norm, I think Lance Votroubek is the highest profile player to try and solve 24x30 boards with the most mines. I think his best is 202, though I vaguely recall someone doing better. Hopefully someone can say something with more certainty than me... |

I dont have enough silly t-shirts. I'd definetly wear a minesweeper t-shirt, it would be funny. It would be fun to have people who think they are good come up to you and say things like "I finnished one of the big board once!". Who cares if people think I am a looser, maybe I am ![]() |

This is my absolute favorite game ever. Sorry, to all you speed demons out there I play this game a little differently. I expand the board to a maximum 24x30 and solve larger mine fields without a time constraint. I started at 160 mines and have gotten as high at 196. I think I hit my limit at 196. Please let me know if anyone else plays the game in this manner? I would love to hear from you... Norm |

inspired by case i tried playing some int yesterday and today. ![]() i din't try no-flagging, but i always mark very few mines. i set two new records: new highest 3bv for a sub20 with a 19 on a 55-3bv board. new record 14 on 31-3bv board. ![]() got both games on video. i'd be satisfied with that 14 on int for now, but it was so easy. it took me less than four hours. i think i'll try again in the next AR, but for now i will return to exp. |

I love minesweeper, but I wouldn't wear minesweeper clothing if my life depended on it. I might as well go around holding a sign that says "BIG GEEK". I got teased once in 9th grade because I wore an Amiga computer t-shirt to school. It was not fun. |

Just a thought, but wearing clothes with minesweeper logos/slogans/etc. on them is just inviting criticism. I mean, no offense to any of the geeks here that do (and I know youre here ![]() Hmmm, maybe Im speaking from a purely high school level where clothes make the man. I wouldnt mind a really tight shirt that had something like 'world record holder' on it, then that little mine logo on the back or something more discreet. Im a fan of tight shirts. Anyway, if they were cheap, I might consider getting a personalized shirt like described above. |

Hahaha, I just got an e mail asking if any of us minesweepers would be interested in setting up a Minesweeper shop with caps,tee-shirts and other things for sale or if we wouldbe interested in buying them! Not a bad idea for some of us mad enthuasiastics around here! I might consider a cap, a black one preferably, with a good logo. Wouldn't fork out too much for it though. It would be a nice memorabilia for when my career is over( which it is definately on hold at the moment. I'm on vacation playing poker nowadays. Speaking of that, I won 40 euro last night in a game of 7 players. 10 cent a chip-very low. 5 were all out, 1 broke even and another won 2 euro. nice night ![]() Good luck all. I'm still hoping that not many overtake me in he rankings. it's cool though. i know it's inevitable with the surge of good players coming through from all over the world. i did it myself. do you know that 1 year ago my scores now would have had me about 3-4th in the world! I think i'm 12th now just about |
