hey to james (fellow canadian)

the danish team beat the US 5-2: the last time the danes entered a team was in 1949 when canada beat them 47-0! "In the 47-0 loss in 1949 in Sweden, the Danes gave up 13 goals in the first period, 16 in the second and 18 in the third. Every member of Canada's team scored at least three goals."

@James: LOL!

@Dave: Have you checked the Tips section on this page?
About the posting: I think a screenshot would be highly appreciated, but I think it takes several months before they get on the site. I sent my scores in a long time ago and their still not on

I don't think anyone here in the US even knew our national hockey team was playing. The NHL playoffs is the only thing getting attention. Americans will watch the national team during the next olympics. Congrats to the Danes.

LOL! How can you tell I am a Canadian? I woke up at 4am so I could watch the Denmark game while Martin heard that they "in the lead by 4-1 at some point". Maybe my girlfriend is right, I love hockey way to much .

I got a 75 on a 138 3bv board and it took me at least 4 seconds to find the last mine. A new record is comming soon.

Hey all. I'm just getting into minesweeper and I'm really addicted. I'm improving quite quickly. I went from 95 seconds on intermediate to 51 seconds in 2 weeks. I have a question for all of you veterans out there? What is the best was to decrease my time??? I know the answer already. More practice. But are there any other tips that help beginners? I already have learned to not click on some mines, and that it's quicker not to. I'm still getting used to this though. When you go from clicking each mine, to clickin few, I'm finding that it takes a little while to learn. A transition period, I assume.

I'm also curious about posting times on this website. If I actually do get sub-36 for intermediate, do I need a picture or a video capture to be put on the site?

I think that's it. Thanks in advance everyone! I'll keep on sweeping.

Thanks James. I'm not really into Hockey, but I heard that we were in the lead by 4-1 at some point. Maybe I should follow some of their games if they keep up the good work

And yes, I can confirm that Sorin got a 13, if there's any doubt

In the past 4 days I've have gotten 4 sub70's so now I have 15 sub70's in total

I had a 13 for this period. I'm absolutely sure I send the scores like this 3-13-53=69 as the message's subject. Roelof?
Martin saw the video and he could confirm this. My best 13 by the way.

Though I am sure it is not all that important to most of you the World Hockey Championships are in Finland right now and I just wanted to congratulate all the Dannes as Denmark pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the world hockey championships on Saturday, beating the United States 5-2. A great accomplishment for a country with only 4000 hockey players.

Arunima, try to watch some of the videos. 1 sec on beginner requires about 20% skills and 80% of luck, if not even more luck. If you're really lucky you can get a board where you only have to click once to finish. Remember that you don't need to flag the mines, you only have to flag to keep the clearness of the board
My 1 sec was on a board that required 2 clicks

@Martin: it's your own decision. There isn't a strict rule. For example, Eduardo submits everytime, he doesn't care whether the total is +6 or more. I didn't always submit when my times were worse +6 or more.

@Bjørn: of course, it's still logic, but the logic is implemented in some pattern knowledge... Keep playing, an addiction is not the worst thing on earth

I know what it's like Yannig. But hang in there. It has to happen sometime I reckon. I missed out on an 82 sec by 5 thousanths of a second... on a 165 3BV board too. I had a couple of close misses recently, two which would have been mid 70's finishes.

I'm starting to play almost exculsive expert, which I think is making a difference. It's gradual but the progression is contant enough.

Happy Sweeping!

Hej Bjørn! Godt at se en ny dansker herinde

Sunday my AR scores were 4-20-70 and I really needed to get some better ones. Then luckily I got a 2 sec Monday, 19 sec Tuesday and 66 sec yesterday

What do you do if your AR scores are worse than +5 sec compared to your last scores? You don't submit?

Hello everyone. I am amazed and dumbfounded at the proficiency you people have with this silly windows game. At the same time, I feel extremely inferior. I thought my time of 77 was good for INTERMEDIATE! you people do that easily with expert? and yet it is all documented in video. I guess I will continue trying until i at least get down to 50. I console myself with the idea that at that speed it must be a mixture of mouse control and pattern recognition rather than logic, but i still feel dumb.

I got a 242 3bv board on expert a couple of days ago, I thought that was kind of funny. I couldn't figure out why I was going so slow. I kind of wish I had finished it to see my 3bv/sec.

My mouse is on the second from the left, but I have been meaning to slowly move it up. I play on 1024x768 for expert, but usually switch to 800x600, if I am really focusing on beginner and sometimes int.

Comments:  

After playing for about two hours and finishing about 2 expert boards with mediocre scores of around 73, I finally hit a board where I broke my 61 with a 60. It is not the sub 60 that I wanted, but I will take anything at this point. I have the screenshot if anyone wants it. I would have posted it but I play on a compute with no internet and it is annoying to me to save it to disk and then post it from another computer. Perhaps if it was a 58 I would have. Anyway, my matrix was full when I beat it and I don't know what the 3BV is and I am curious to know.

Speaking of that, I got a 117 3BV board the other day that I finished but it was on within my first five minutes of playing after a respite and I scored like a 67 or something. Wish I got that board after being warmed up.

Also, I think it is time that I downloaded Camtasia, or is the recorder on the Yahoo group compatible with XP now?

Thanks

My mouse speed is right in the middle.

I have really been trying to finish an expert board without flagging. The closest I have come is 30 3bv left and on pace for 90. I am gettign beter at non-flagging though, i started at about 1.5 3bv/sec and now I am close to 2 3bv/sec which is not much slower than my flagging speed.

I have been reading a lot of critical theory lately (Foucault, Derrida, Althuser, Butler, Said, Marx, Deleuze & Guattari, etc.) and it seems that one of the common problems in society is that dominant groups often impose themselves on subservient groups. One way this is accomplished is through the use of language. The term "non-flagger" is an example of this using of the master's tools to define the servant. I would liken "non-flagger" to calling a man a "non-mentrator". Perhaps "non flaggers" should reclaim their history and redfine themselves on their own terms. Perhaps "single clickers" or "right-clickers" is more appropriate than "non-flager". Do you see the différance?

Strange things happen ...

Last night I missed 66 on the very last click (stupid misclick - no guess needed) and I thought ... "that was not fair.."
Three minutes later I was compensated with 116 3BV board ... and got 66 - no more, no less

Georgi, I think it's only the Recorder.exe that's updated, you still have to use the old Player.exe and RecorderDLL.dll

I have just experienced a strange thing: My Windows XP Professional appearently turn itself off after 20 days and 22:20 hours
I will try to investigate the case, but it's hard to do when the computer have to be turned on for almost 3 weeks before I can see if it happens again
Btw, I was in the middle of playing minesweeper when it happened

I've been playing somewhat slow for several weeks, barely able to break 50. In fact, I still haven't gone below 50 for this period. I just got a 127 3bv board and made a bad click with two clicks left. The timer said 44. FUCK!

Is the timer of the counter supposed to be linked to the real time or the game's time ? I noticed that most of my game end on times like 25.99 or 65.99 I doubt that it is statically normal.

Manu, i know i click a lot. i average at around 3,6 left and 2,4 right clicks per second. i don't know how to reduce that though. i tried playing nf to warm up and that helped a little. i think my general tactic is pretty efficient, i usually mark about 45-50 mines. i played actually rather bad on the est49 game...

about the recorder, on my pc it doesn't work using winmine98, but it works just fine with winxp. i'm actually using a newer version that sorin sent me for testing purposes. he fixed some bugs and it works a lot better than the old one.
i put it up on my site: software/recorder_fix

btw i just turned in the last documents for a year in france. starting in sept i'll be going to the école centrale de lyon for one year. so you'll get at least some challenge for the titel of best sweeper in france.

Elmar, watching your screenshot, I see that you click a lot : personnaly, when I finish a game I have generally between 5 and 5.5 clicks/sec in total. Maybe you loose time clicking too much, just an idea...
Who can tell me why I can't run the count_rec program ? The one that Elmar uses, it doesn't work ! I can download it and open it, i click on "counter" and the box appears, but all numbers stay at "0", even when I play !!

just broke a personal best of most sub-50's in a day of sweeping: a 49, 49, 48 in a row during a 25min patch.

(looking at my posts, i haven't been playing for the last 5 hours...just took another break and will go back to studying for tommorrow's final)(my 5th final in 7 days...another to go still)

yep and it's about time. i've missed a lot of games that coud've been mid50s in the last couple of days. and at 165 i have more sub70s than a lot of people in the mid50s i think.

You are probably right... 60 is too pessimistic. I'll go with 55. Still, I think that would beat your current record by 5 seconds.

the program simply devides the 3bv by the 3bv/s ratio. i know i wouldn't have finished in 49secs. but considering there were only 17 3bv-clicks left i think sub55 was possible. and it definitely coud've been my first sub60!

Elmar, I don't know how that program projects the final time, but I looked at your screenshot and there is no way you would have finished under 55. The formula I use says you would have finished with a 60.

@Manu: I'm a little bit experienced in travelling by bike. (last year I travelled from Belgium to Toscane (3700km) and back and two years ago I did 3500km in 32 days around France) And I can assure you: 100km a day is a lot (when you have a lot of luggage on your bike, like a tent,...) My experience is that, if you have trained a little bit, 80 à 90 km a day is enough, especially if you're not planning to rest a lot. At least, I should start with 80 à 90 km, and If you're feeling good, you can always increase the daily distance. But, like I said, only in case you carry a lot of luggage: if you're planning to stay in hotels, no problemo!
I should say: listen to your body (especially to your knees and anckles) ,take enough rest, and enjoy your trip!
If you need some advice: mail me

Hey everyone,

I've been playing minesweeper on and off for about 1 year, but I didnt start playing on a regular basis until about a month ago. The first time I ever completed expert, I did it in a time of about 140 or so. Within about a week, I got it down to 120. But since then (about 3 weeks ago), I havent seen any vast improvement in my time. Any suggestions on the next step to getting my times lower? (By the way, my technique right now is to click about 75-80 mines on expert.)

I was playinglast night, just on a tear, playing for like 3-4 hours, I usually only play about 1 or so. anyway, I was on the phone and playing and I knew I was going so fast and I got down to one square to click and it wasn't even a guess and I fucked it up. Mother fucker, the counter was at 58. It wasn't a guess, what the hell was I doing? I have the screen shot if anyone is interested, but I doubt it. It was a 137 3BV.

...Minesweeper is the best game. All these people I know always talk about Playstation, X-Box, and Gamecube... Those suck. Minesweeper kicks ass... I rarely use my computer these days. When I do, it's for minesweeper or to check my mail. But yea... Great game.

thinking of biking/running, there were some posts awhile back with some very fast running stats by andrew and some other guys...i started running for fun a few months ago (once a week or so) just to check myself out on this road nearby shaped like a ring (thus the multiples of 2.2)...so far i do 2.2k in 8:00, 4.4k @ 19:56ish and 6.6k in 31...i don't have a bike though.

Dan, I only run once a month or so and it's not more than about 3 km (without breaks though). I'm thinking about running some more, but at the moment I haven't got that much time (Or maybe I'm just too lazy).

The other one, who was able to bike another 100 km is going to run a marathon in a month, but he had never biked more than 10 km before that trip, so I guess running and biking a more or less the same.

Martin, do you ever go running? If so, how far can you run before you have to stop? If you can ride a bike for 100km, you must be pretty good at running, too.

Right now I can barely run 1km.

I'm sure I could need a psychiatrist sometimes at 3 in the morning after a couple of hours playing minesweeper (And a couple more to go)

I think I have to buy a new mouse. My present mouse isn't feeling that good to play minesweeper with. Any good advices? Optical, wireless, etc.?
Right now I'm playing with some ordinary, wired mouse.

Btw. I've just started to take my driving lessons today. If all turns out well I'll have my driving licence in 3-4 months

PS. Ryanyi, you can download Minesweeper Count Recorder (with 3BV counter etc.) at Elmar's page:

No problem, Ben ! You're invited to our wedding , when is yours ? I guess it must be very soon now !?!
Sorry to hear about your job... maybe the minesweeper community would need the help of a psy... I propose we all give you 10 €/month to treat our psychological dependence of the game. I'm sure that lots of us need it, and you're the only psy to understand that !!

Hey Manu,

congrats! I wish you two the best of luck together! Maybe we should attend each other's weddings

If you meant me in your previous post, I'm not that busy preparing my wedding... I'm more busy with trying to find another job. Life is hard during those times, especially when the job market is not that prosperous .

On a better note, I just returned from a skiing holiday in Val Thorens, France. We had a couple of days of real deep snow, ultracool

@Alex: The 3BV of the intermediate dreamboard is 30 and there isn't any dreamboard on expert due to more different boards on expert than on intermediate.
