Guys I have tried to email Damien at the address 'thefinerminer@hotmail.com', but my message has come back as having failed delivery. This happened when I tried before in May this year.

Personally I would have liked to see the Czechs in the final against Portugal. That would have been awesome. I don't like the way the Greeks 'play soccer'. I definitely hope Portugal will win but Greece have already beaten Portugal once and I somehow fear that Portugal will underestimate the Greek team once again... Still, surprise endings are always nice so the way I see it, there'll be a fair winner no matter what! ![]() |

@Manu&The Oracles follower: I've seen the match and I can understand both of you. Portugal had four situations where a Portugese was alone against the Keeper, all four times it was defenitally a "must-score". So I think the four gaols Manu clamed are realistic. But on the other hand it was extremly poor how they managed to miss. So I understand if The Oracles follower don't want to see 'such forwards' - as he writes - in the final. Well I'm not sure about the two goals of the oranges, at least the second one should have been givven. The foul that the referee saw was a bit strange I think, I wasn't sure who was the first one to hold the opponent. It could have been a penalty as well. The fist one is more difficult, the Portugese on the right side could have been as close to the goal as Nistelrooij in which case he would have been on side. So I don't understand Manu's 0. The follower writes that Nistelrooij was fouled in the penalty area, well I guess he was - like Figo, Makaay, Robben, Pauletta,... there should be more penalty-disicions (like in the Bulgaria-Italy match). I think a nice and fair result after 90 mins would have been a 4:4. The only realy good point of The Oracles follower was that the referee was from Sweeden, that wasn't a good idea of the UEFA. But the match is over, so what all this discussion is for? I wish it was next monday, than we will be able to talk about minesweeper again and forget all this Euro2004 staff. And perhaps we can celebrate Elmars new record ![]() |

I really really don't agree with "The Oracles follower" concerning the Euro ! I wanted to come here and tell my opinion about that, and what can I read ? Exactly the opposite of what I wanted to say ! How is it possible to have such different analyses about the same match ??? ![]() ![]() In my opinion, The "orange" were not far from being ridiculous yesterday night ! It was already some kind of miracle that they reached the 1/2 final, but that time everybody saw that it really was the maximum that they could do ! I think that 2-1 lets people think that it was close, which is absolutely not the case : Portugal could have won 3-0 or 4-0 it would have been logical. I hope that the Czecks will get into the final, so that we can see the best final that we could hope for ! |

I never expected Denmark to reach the final anyway, so I've been cheering for Portugal all along! Portugal is my favourite team so I'm very happy to see them in the final. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the match because I had a friend visit me and something went wrong when I tried to tape it so I won't be able to watch it either! ![]() Anyway, I don't think it's fair to say that Portugal isn't among the best teams. I think they've played fairly well and they certainly did better than a lot of the 'great' soccer nations like Germany, France, Italy, England and Spain! I do think they are one of the best teams and it's certainly fair that they reach the final. I agree that the Czechs play better right now and I think they'll end up winning the final (IF they can beat the Greeks) because they have really amazed me with their great play! Of course it wasn't nice to see them beat the Danes like that but on the other hand they did a really nice job and Koller and Baros are two of my favorite czech players so it was nice to see them score some goals! ![]() ![]() |

What a ridiculous match! 3 days ago the Netherlands kicked Sweeden out and today the referee is from Sweeden. Two such beautyful goals and both are canceld? What an unbeliveable brutal foul against Davids and not even yellow where you couldn't say anything against red? Have you seen this nice punch against Nistelrooij in the penaltyarea? How was it possible that that not one of the Portuguese player had any chance against van der Saar in 1-1 situations. I don't think that a team with such bad forwards should reach a final of an European championship. I realy like the Portuguese soccer, but it would have been great if the two best teams would have reached the final. Now there's no one left who can possible beat the Czech Republic (expect Collina and Merk of course). |

Hey, I thought you guys might be interested to know this. I just happened to be playing beginner tonight and I got yet another 3 second time. After lookin at it for a bit, I noticed it looked familiar. I looked in my files and it happens that I got the same beginner board about a year ago. Contact me at my email address if you want the Screenshots of both the boards to put up in the "Randomness" category. |

29.12.03 - 29.06.04: "Sub60 journey" |
Comments: |
Hi, people! One minute is a little time interval for human, but huge for sweeper. Six month ago I got my first sub60 (59) and my "Sub60 journey" began. Today I noticed that it's great day to make conclusions and to look at my results from the outside. In the beginning of this journey I had strong incentive to improve my style and speed to achieve better results, it took much time to do it. Of course I'll continue to play and I hope I'll get sub50 soon, but now I'd like to tell you about this ****ing day. About 4 PM I realized that I have 95 sub60 and it will be great if I could get 100 sub60 six month after my first sub60. At first situation was normal - I got 4 sub60. Then s=h=i=t happened. 6-7 hours of playing without any sub60, it was complicated to finish a game, my wrist hurts, but I finished about 10 games including 4x60 and 2x61. Elmar, now I understand your situation ![]() ![]() After 6 month of "Sub60 journey" I have 99xsub60 and best result 50s. Maybe we'll see my "Sub50 journey" soon. Good luck, sweepers!! ![]() ![]() |

Just like last time I was out of practise and playing sloppily after not playing much for a couple of months, and then out of no where up pops the box!

@Dennis: Unfortunatly I lost nearly all my minesweeper documentation when my computer broke down last summer (that was also the reason why I dropped out of the AR). So I've no original vid. But I edited the board on the clone and replayed the game (wasn't easy to play it in 2.06 again and with the same clickpositions and intervalls). If you sent me your email, I could send you the vid (it looks nearly exactly like the original). |

@Jan Dubois: I don't know, but it is at least possible. I played a beginner with a 3BV=7 in 1.06 secs. That's pretty close. I was very dissapointed cause the LButtonDown on the last quare happend befor the end of the first sec but unfortunatly it is the LButtonUp that counts. |

Hey Dion, Are you serious that you went to my school? Hurlstone? Dude, that is incredible! Wow, I can't believe that you know me. I wish that I could say the same about you, but unfortunately your name doesn't ring a bell. Sorry, I'm sure I will hear about your successes later down the track. Anyway, it's good to know that an Aussie is going so incredibly well in minesweeper! Gee, do you still live around the area, maybe we can meet up some day..... Oh yeah, and congrats on the new record! Where does that place you now? |

Hi Playing the minesweepergame Dangerousmines I got another 2. Fortunately it is my second 2 because I doubt you would accept it. It is a 2.8. I think there is nothing wrong with dangerousmines, but maybe timer is slow, who knows?

I thought it was about time to do something about my expert score, since it seems like "everybody" are improving that one nowadays. After missing another 56 on a STUPID mistake ![]() BTW: Congratulations to all the record breakers. I got to do something about that sweedish player that swooped past me on the expert list. As if their football team's success isn't enough. Fortunately, I've got a lot of spare time this summer ![]() |

Gareth: It's GREAT to see that you finally got a sub-20. Did you flag mines or not? I've stuck to NF on int but on expert my best times were achieved with flagging, although I did get a 65 NF. I'm not really THAT far ahead of you on expert I think. I've only got that one 61 and two 65 which are lower than 68 which is apparently where you are at and don't mind my int score. I used to be a real int geek playing nothing but int for 4 hours a day so that's how I got there so fast. I still have to struggle for my sub-20s so it's not like I'm anywhere near as good as Damien or Dan. In fact Dan has got an average int time of 19 point something. Very impressive, by the way! ![]() But Gareth, good luck improving your times even more! I've been stuck on my times for quite a while now. My ultimate goal has always been to get a sub-60, although it just doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore. Perhaps because so many people have already done it or perhaps because I know I could already do it at my current level with the right kind of LUCK! Good luck man! ![]() |

Hey Dennis, remember me? I FINALLY got that sub-20! Massive relief. It's been over a year since I've posted here. And since I've been gone, you've improved your intermediate by about 5 seconds, and your expert by well over 30 seconds. Now you are WAY ahead of me ![]() I have started to take videos of my runs now. I downloaded the trial version of Camtasia, and made videos until the 30 days expired. I don't know how to use Camtasia for free now. Any tips? I am not prepared to pay money just to record minesweeper videos, so if there is no other option I guess I will just not take videos. |

Well, Jayson, it is physically possible to get one second, if you lok on the left hand column and note a link to Videos, go there, download the codec, and watch some one second videos. (also check out some of Lasse's videos, and to see the world record 41 second expert of Lanyje, go to www.active-ranking.de.vu and look to the archives, go to 2002 period 26 (or 2003 i'm not sure) and then it will have the videos where it says '2002 world records' near the bottom of the page (have to have the codec for that too) i think you'll be more amazed by that video than any of the 1 sec videos. |

@ Jason: I can tell you this with absolute certainty... It IS psysically possible to finish beginner in 1 sec. There are boards out there that only require 1 or 2 clicks but I've seen a player finish a board requiring 4 clicks in just 1 second! I've finished one board on 8x8 beginner in 1 second and three on 9x9 beginner in 1 second, so I know it's possible! ![]() To me it's a much bigger mystery how somebody can get such low expert scores but hey, I know that's possible too and although there might be a few cheating minesweepers around I don't think you'll find many here. There are tons of video proof so you better believe it. Your scores aren't bad either! I think you can do better than 8 on beginner though if you can get such nice scores on int and expert! Good luck! ![]() |

I've got a long way to go. But doesn't anyone find it suspicious that some people completed beginner in 1 second? Is that physically possible? Check out this new site, where I found out that people hack into their systems to change their best time data: http://cheatchannel.4players.de:1033/files/minesw.htm I'm actually disappointed that you people are falling for it. |

I think it was obvious that they did NOT agree. Did you watch the match ? Both team gave 100%. I can't see why Danmark would have accepted to take the last goal cause it makes them play against the czecks who play clearly better than Germany or Netherlands in this Euro. Thing is that the 2 best team of group C are qualified. The only thing that I don't understand is why Italy played just like they were already qualified for the 1/4 finals. But I'm not going to make fun of the way they played, as France did not play lots better... |

Congrats to all the recordbreakers and to Oli and Sorin. Nice you finally get another sub50 Sorin ![]() Also nice to hear from Roelof and Owen! ![]() I hope Denmark wins tomorrow, but I must say I am not very sure about it... Could be very nice if Denmark and Sweden both qualifies for the quarter finals! ![]() Dennis, did you have a nice time in Thailand? I never got to wish you a nice journey ![]() Last thing: I should have written an AR profile, but things have gotten a little out of hand since my graduation about a week ago, with parties and so on. In fact, this is the first time since then I have had more than 10 minutes or so at my computer, so I hope you all can wait a little longer to read my profile and survive a period without any... ![]() ![]() |

@Dave: As far as I know the last ~0.01 secs are not shown in the vids. I had this problem too. I guess that is because the vid stops on the last click but in the game the computer needs some time to show the last square(s) befor stopping the counter. I already sent a mail about that to Rodrigo some weeks ago but got no answer. I had a vid of a game that ended on a whole sec but the vid showed a sec below with x.9 |

Congratulations Hopsing! Nice work. I'm glad to see that at least one of us got sub 100!!! I watched your video, and I was wondering if you noticed that your counter in the bottom said it was 20.90, but the red timer on the top said it was 20.8. Is this common, or is this something Rodrigo should look into? Anyway, nice work! ![]() |
