Congratulations Damien on passing 200,000 hits

I wonder how an age-weighted table might look i.e. Combined scores for all 3 levels divided by age ... in my case 89/42 = 2.1 (i.e. the lower the result the better) ... makes it tough for the younger guys to beat 2 on this table but it's time the 'oldies' got a look in

PS. when I scored 2 on Beginner on Monday it was my 1st game of the day & pure luck but it was about time!

Happy Sweeping Everyone

gernot used to be #3 then 5 then 9 over the first 18mo on this site. he wasn't ever listed on paradises' site (because that died jun98 and gernot's scores were 2000). steve welch used to hold the int record in 98 witha 17, then gernot got a 15 two weeks before i got a 16 (which was really annoying at the time).

Three years ago, when this community was newly forming, Gernot held the int. world record, at 15. I'm not sure what his expert time was at the time though. If that one Paradise website is still active it probably has those stats.

BTW, did any of the programmers amongst us ever think of a small program running next to MS with several numbers on it, where you can hit e.g. the 4 and he counts it for you. In Beginner I get 4 after 4 and have to open Wordpad after each game. With such program one could update his file after the game.

Despite the lack of discussion in the past months, I think the majority of the congress is hesitantly accepting of Rolis 9 as the WR. I say "hesitantly" because no one feels strongly about it being the new WR, but there are a few who feel strongly against it. If you go to the congress website, you can read the discussion there.

I think we might come to a temporary ruling until a new, "perfect" game is presented.

Roli: Congrats.

Andrew: Roli got a 9 a few months ago using the "controversial" techique of repeadedly clicking in the same area so he could quickly regognize the DB, and finnish it using his knowledge of the board. There is a poll on the Yahoo site where you can see who thinks the WR is 9, 10, or 11 (11 because some think that Matt used his knowledge of the DB and, therefore, was not "really" playing minesweeper). I think that the counsel was going to decide on it, but it seems as though we have all just decided to wait for the "perfect" minesweeper game (one without cycles, timmer jump, cheats, etc.) so we can start from scratch.
This is just my opinion, I think that because of the tension caused by the disagreement over the 9, we have all been a little aprehensive about bringing it up.
What does everyone else think

Jean-Francois Desclaux = 2-19-62
Philippe Halty = 3-18-65
Fanou = 3-23-73

It's just to try and increase the number of french members...

Hi Alexander, the world records are 1-9-41. The King of Minesweeper, still uncloned, is Lasse Nyholm Jensen (Lanyje). The Illeagle 1 sounds like an american warbomber, but I think it is when you get it on Win XP, where the beginner board is a bit bigger than on Win 98. Keep on sweeping!

i have a list of all known WR breakers and dates, but i was going to put that up when i got the site updated. part of the problem with the stats idea is that chris paradise didn't keep any stats on the web and attempts to find him have failed to date, steve welch is still around (him and khor both got 1's close to each other in 98) but steve doesn't keep stats except of his best scores, gernot has retired but can still be found. no one knows who got 2 first.
other stats i've roughly accumulated but haven't done anything with are oldest players, best females, 24*30 boards, etc

Congrats Steffen, you seem to improve very quickly and regurlarly ! Congrats Stephan on the 11 !

I've just spent a week at my parents' home, with my old computer. I missed a 15 on the last click . Nothing under 17 for this period so far...

I was thinking : It would be cool to have some kind of archives about minesweeper. Something that could tell what were the WR 1, 2, 3, 4 years ago. How many known people had exp times under 50, 60, 70 etc.. at that time. Same for Inter and total sum. What do you think guys ?

Couldn't find the last square in an expert board with 83 seconds on the clock. I'm not disappointed as it wouldn't have brought me under the 100. I think it's going to happen soon. I have 3 weeks off from college so that's my aim. I also got a 20 sec inter last night which is my 2nd fastest time. It's looking up... kinda.

Happy Sweeping.

Thanks for all the congrats. 2-11-56 (69) was the most successful day of my life. Of course, congrats to all the other record breakers. Elmar, don't hurry . You got 80 sub-70s in ONE day??? I got only 44 in my whole life.

I got the DB three times in 19 months and finished in 17 (not knowing it exists), 15 (getting hypernervous as knowing it exists), and 11 (by luck staying calm). Can't remember if I ever screwed it up.

I enlarged my statistics on my website by some 3BV and 3BV/sec statistics. My bests are 2.76 (215 in 78), 3.68 (70 in 19) and 4.33 (13 in 3). Averages are 2.1 in exp and 2.5 in int.

Ive seen the dreamboard more than my fair share of times. Finished it twice, messed it up early about twice, missed it on the second click about twice...Ive seen it lots of times.

And I have 5 12's (my next best score sans DB and a one-mine shift of the DB (got an 11)) all on non-db. That was as of almost a year ago. I wonder if Damien with his prolific scores beats that

just something to point out to those who are comparing, say, lasse's ratios to their own: don't confuse 3bv/time (as i just listed) with actual left clicks/time, as global mines lists. (with global mines i usually average around 2.6 LC/s for expert, whereas i average around 3.2 3bv/s).

Just missed a 19, which would have been my first sub-20. The board was a 37 3bv, took me untill 23 seconds to find the last mine, then I miss-clicked.

Just realised that if you have more than one minesweeper window open and explorer groups them, it calls them 'entertainment' instead of Minesweeper
Funny....

First: I forgot to say thanks to Georgi. Thanks Georgi

Steffen, I'm a non-flagger, so I guess I don't flag too much Then I just have to get a good board and don't misclick...

I just got my new 3BV/sec record: 74 3BV board in 24,86 sec (3,10 3BV/sec)

i dont know your style of playing martin, but i think to reach good times in int a) you just need a good board(may be sub40 3bv for a sub 15(?)) b) you just mustnt flag a lot (or you´re just as fast as lasse is- but who is) c) have luck and dont misclick

Stephan,
my computer is somehow not able to run camtasia without slowing the whole system down (I think it's my videocard that's too old), but I have most of my games saved as *.txt files from Minesweeper Count Recorder (but not my 63 sec though, sometimes something happens and it doesn't record). I will send you some of my best games, 70 sec, 71 sec and some ~80 sec with high 3BV's as *.txt files. Hope you can play them.

Btw. does anyone have any good tip to play faster on int, or should I just play it some more and hope to get a good board?

Congratulations to all recent record breakers.

Martin, nice to see another nf around even if you're coming nearer much too fast... I got a 65 when my best was 73, and the 55 when my best was 65. So lucky punches are quite normal for non-flaggers. btw, do you have the video of that 63 or just another video? Would be interested to see other nf vids than mine.

Elmar/Roland, good luck with your competition, as far as you don't come down to the mid-50s. As Steffen has already passed me by far, I'd like to stay as no.2 in Germany. Thanks

Maybe this will cheer you up Dave: I was on 81 sec for about 6 months, from july 2002 to january 2003... Since then things have gotten a little better

Doesn't sound to optimistic Dave... If I was you I'd either take a break for some weeks to 'recover' and get some excitement about the game again, or I would keep on playing and for example use the active ranking to keep the motivation, and then you'll probably get a sub60 the day you least expect it

Concerning me, I think I'll try to get some more sub70's so I feel that the 63 sec isn't just a lucky punch. I'll probably also have to improve my int time with a second or two...

And by the way... it's my birthday today (February 20th). I reach 18

Happy sweeping everyone

Since all the people stuck above the minute barrier are posting, I suppose I should too. I just recently, found my speed again, competing with my best scores, since I had a string of sub-70s. I had a 62 for the AR this last posting. So I hope i can get a sub 60 soon, although I have only been playing beginner, recently, because it has almost been a year since I got my first three(A 3bv of 2, when i wasn't very good). I am sick of seeing that 3.
I only have about 35 sub70 games, but I also probably don't play as much as most people here, only when i am listening to music. My highest 3bv's that i found is a 187 for a 67s, but i didn't spend that much time looking.
Good luck to all.
Ry

my best sub70 game since i started keeping 3bv was a 170-3bv in 69s. The best i have ever that i know of is a 202-3bv in 72s. I have 25 sub 70's. I dont finish many games when i play, but when i do it's between 65-75 secs. I have now 2 games down to the last few squares that would have been sub60, and several others that were on track for mid50s with less than 20 or 30 squares left to clear. I have yet to finish a game with a 3bv below 140 since i got 61 on a 11x-3bv board on my laptop.

To all other recent posters stuck in the low 60s:

I got 63 around this time last year with only my 3rd ever sub70. (The first 2 were both 69)
It took until my 51st to beat that with 61. I'm now on 177 sub70s (including 3 61s) without breaking the minute barrier.

I have all the screenshots but haven't bothered checking the 3BVs.
On intermediate the situation is no better: I have now tied my record of 17 no less than 7 times, and had 2 16s lost on the last click.

Since New Year I've wrote all my times on expert into an Excel spreadsheet. So far I've finished 65 games. The best 3 BV/s was a 218 3BV board in 84,72 s (2,60 3BV/s).
My best int is a 82 3BV board in 28,22 s, 3,01 3BV/s. I have also finished a 103 3BV board in 35,22 s (also 3,01 3BV/s), but I guess you can't really use that time on int...
And for those who don't know it: I'm a non-flagger

@Elmar, I think it's incredible too. I felt I was in really good shape that night so I played a long time because I hoped to get a good board. I had played for about two hours when the 63 sec showed up (it was 2:45 am here in DK when I finished it). I hoped for a 68 sec or maybe even a 67 sec, but I hadn't dreamt about a 63 sec.

Btw, I would like to know what 3BV your best times on int have. I have gotten a 18 sec twice, on a 37 BV board and on a 39 3BV board.
