Daniel,

I didn't really take offence, don't worry. I did find the need to explain my point of view, but that's something else

Comments:  

Ok, played for a half hour and had 2 68s and 2 66s. I feel like I can break 56 on a good board, have some new techniques that are speeding me up, what a great game. There is always more to learn, you think you know, but alas we know nothing.

Congrats to Andrew and Grzegorz.

I rode my bike for 93km last summer and my ass was so sore that I could not sit down for a week .

@Roelof:

I wasn't actually calling you gullible Roelof. I was just taking the opportunity to write a poor school joke that seemed somewhat appropriate. It was only for the jokes' sake that I posted that message since it was clear enough that you didn't believe Juris either. I think most people here are open to new low time sweepers, though that was clearly not a real claim. Sorry if you took offence (though I think you've humour [and sense] enough not to have).

Happy Sweeping!

Dan, it's just to get up and ride the bike if it's a fine weather. Maybe start with 10-20 km and an easy pace.

I don't even have a racing bike, but I'm planing on biking to Paris in June with some friends, and this weekend was like a test. All of us could handle the 100 km yesterday (some better than others!), but only 2 of us (out of five) was able to go 100 km again today.

There's about 1200 km to Paris from here, so it's about two weeks with 100 km a day...

Martin, I wish I could ride my bike that far. I get tired after 1k. I bought a racing bike last September and I'd like to be able to go on long rides out in the country. Maybe I'll be able to do that by the end of summer.

Lance, of course I noticed those things as well and like all of you, I do not believe he is real. I didn't say: "Hey Juris, wow, you've got some great times there!" So I wouldn't say I was "had". I just challenged him to prove the scores he claimed.

In every matter of life, I don't think anything should be excluded. In theory, he might not be a faker. And I'm 'active' enough to do something with that possibility.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say? It's very hard to explain a key attitude towards life in a language that is not your own...

Please don't call me gullible, cause I'm not (you would admit if you knew me).

Whew! I've biked 111 km yesterday and 114 km today, so I haven't played minesweeper at all this weekend, but I have the whole next week off due to Easter, so I guess I'm gonna play minesweeper a good deal then.

@Grzegorz: Congratulations Even though you beat my times now

Comments:  

@Roelof - it's true we need to be willing to accept, with proof, scores from people who might actually challenge world records, whom we've never heard of before, but I don't think it's necessary to reply to someone who is quite obviously making fun of us. Some clues: he claims to be only 12 years old with those records. None of our top players are that young. "One arm and no legs as I was suffering from very bad radioactive poison" - that's just ridiculous, and is the main reason everyone knows he's a fake. And then there are two other fake posts after his, a pretty good sign that it's not for real. You definitely got "had" on this one Happy sweeping, all!

Daniel, we should give anyone who claimes scores like that a chance to prove it. It would be stupid only to accept sub-50's from Lasse, Damien, Dan, Marc and possibly some others: there is a chance there are great players outside this community. I don't think Juris really got these scores, but that's why I asked him to prove it.

OMG! Nearly got my first sub-20 on a 39 3bv, but there were 3 50/50s and i got the second one wrong.

Sudhindra: believe it or not, this is not an elitist group, so don't worry about being ignored. We were all beginers at some point too. One thing that I have noticed over the last year or so is that as I have gotten faster (~130 to 97 sum), I don't feel any faster. At this time last year I would have thought that 97 was awesome and completely out of my reach. Today 97 seems totaly unimpressive.

Jonathan, try to check out the Flag/clicker article (Link on the front page on this site) and the Tips section on this page.
One thing that I try to pratice is to click on blank squares so large areas clears. It's not always possible to figure out, but you have to click less times if you find those squares.

Good luck

Thanks Dan. That worked.

Also, I gotta a question for anyone to answer.
I know about the double click technique when you already have the required mines marked around a certain number. But is there a way that you can do this techniue without having to mark the mines? Also, are there other ways to expose a large part of the board? Maybe by clicking on a blank square or something? Hope these questions make sense.

Everytime I try to watch one of these videos to maybe give me some hints on how to speed up my times, I get a message that says "Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found." (this is in windows media player by the way). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work?? Thanks

Thanks guys but I think my minesweeper days are over. I decided to play non flagging and crewed up a game of 50-57 at 30 sec. my previous best is 68 which i've gotten twice. I've barely played non flagging and and i've only finished about 6 games that way! i flagged again but that seems pointless as I'm way out of control. it seems less skillful to flag as you don't think as much ( take NOTHinG away from lasse of course)! just a notion i have at the moment!

good luck all. Advice to everyone especially the newbies - practice the implements used to beat you records instead of tryiong to beat your records and then your records will come. a good way to do this is play exp or int with a higher mine density to help improve pattern recognition of the high numbers especially

Good Luck

Congrats Damien. And just when I thought I was closing in on the Canadian record...

I have 3 sub-80s now, 74, 78, 79. But yesterday I played expert for 3 hours and did not finish one fucking game! But I am always on pace for sub-85 now, so at least I have something to build on.

Today I tried to play expert without flagging. I can't even come close to finishing because I can't keep track of the mines, and my patern recognition is still shit. The closest I have come to finnishing is about 80% done and on pace for ~120.

Way to go, Damien. I can't believe it took you this long to get a 46. Getting it on a 170 3bv board is impressive. I've been struggling just to get a 49 on a 120 3bv board. I have no doubt you would do no worse than a 42 on my record board(44, 99 3bv).

46!!! sweet, 3bv....170!! hum de dum (sorry, but i feel good...last exp record was april 16 2002)

on video, since i've been using that today, so thanks to owen and dan for prompting me, that's a 3.696 ratio...i played so many games today with middle 3bvs and got middle scores (52-55) on them, and this is better. the two 48 vids i posted were respectively 139 and 157.

so, just sub 46-170.avi into the previous link.

sorry for putting up another video...just got another 48, just on a harder board, so just substitute 48-157.avi into the last post. (ratio 3.27 as opposed to 2.90)

hey elmar...you've probably already checked the FAQ page on camtasia for basic problems.

Dunno, Elmar. If you were running winxp with your old cpu and ram and camtasia worked fine, I don't know what the problem could be.

i don't think that's the problem though, because it used to work just fine. i only changed the ram and the cpu and reinstalled windows.

@Paul: No, of course 100% flagging is not faster, but I just wouldn't recommend him beginning to be a non-flagger, at least not before he gains some more pattern experience.

@Elmar: I have the exact same problem. I use WinXP too. I'm pretty sure it's my video card (16 MB ram, not sure what type it is). I have 650 MHz with 192 MB ram and Lasse has 700 MHz with 256 MB ram and his runs perfectly at 10 fps, so it can't be the processor and probably neither the rams

Active Ranking note: American players need to remember that daylight savings time starts this weekend so the deadline will now be 4pm eastern time.

Elmar, I am not sure what the problem could be. I run a 1.4 GHz 512MB winxp computer and Camtasia runs perfectly smooth even at 100 frames/s. What kind of video card do you have? I have a geforce 3(64 MB).

i have some problems with my video capturing using camtasia. i used to have a 800Mhz, 128MB PC and everything was fine (10frames/s). i upgraded to 1,5Ghz and 512MB and now i can't even run camtasia with 5 frames/s. i used winXP in both cases.

i wouldn't need camtasia at all if i knew what causes the stucking in count/rec. you know, the .99 problem.

can anyone help me please

hi oliver, welcome to this page! i think you're the highest new entry ever. sux to drop in the rankings though, but i'm sure to get a sub60 soon.

...132 sub70s

I think it is still a little premature to say 100% no-flagging is inherently slower than 100% flagging.

Who knows what the expert record would be if Lasse had 8 years mostly no-flagging behind him?

Jonathan, maybe it has been some non-flagger writing that? I'm a non-flagger myself (doesn't mark any mines at all), but it's a difficult technique, so if I were you I would stick to the flagging. Flagging is also faster, at least on expert.

It could also have been something about flagging mines some places where there's no need to flag, for instances a corner with a mine and three surrounding 1's and a big opening on the other side of the 1's. I think the Tips page says something about that too.

Happy sweeping

Hey Martin.

Thanks for the response. I do know about clicking both the left and right buttons at the same time. But I was reading some other posts, and people were talking about some tecniques that i didnt understand. For instance, some were saying dont mark the mine if you know for sure that it is one. Stuff like that. Is that true? Does that help? Any others?

Hi Jonathan.
Be sure to check out the Tips section on this page, I think you can find something in there that will help you.
Btw, do you know about the double clicking (pushing both left and right button at the same time) I think that's the first thing you will have to get used to to improve your times

Hey everybody! This is my first time to post here. I started playing minesweeper not to long ago. I got 114 on expert a couple of days ago and thought that was really good. So I decided to find out what the best score ever was. And then I come here only to find out that people are finishing in the 40s and 50s. How can yall people do this?!?! lol. I need some advice, tips, anything.

That's a pity. Even with my ankle problem, I've not been playing much recently. Now I sit down and one of the first 10 boards is a fast one on which I get 18 seconds. It could have been so much faster. I just wasn't warmed up. The 3BV was 27 too, lower than my previous 18sec. Funnily enough I didn't realise it was a fast board until the record box came up (formerly 19 due to a computer change). First time I haven't been conscious of the speed. Maybe next time eh?

On the ankle front, I've apparently torn my Y ligaments and am going to be immobile for quite a while to come. Sports looks out the window for 6 months or so. Ah well... I'll just have to find a way to pass the spare time .

Hapy Sweeping to all,

Daniel

@Oliver: Although I like it to see new Germans here around, your 2-14-56 is really close to my (non-DB) 2-13-55, and I'm quite afraid now to drop down... You have some pics or, even better, videos? Just curious.

Elmar, the count recorder can be off by a second or more if you click the minesweeper board but dont make a click that starts a game. The recorder starts, but the game doesnt.
