Comments:  

Meh, I don't care about using the math while playing... just interesting to think about. You're right about the theory being prohibitively large. But if there were some way to organize it into simple situations and draw conclusions thence. Bah, I dunno. I'm tired and have only taken multivariable calculus.

@Matthew: heh, you're welcome!

think of it this way:

Each mine results in the numbers being the superposition of the following matrices (on top of each other)

1 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1

that is definitely linear algebra... if we can construct the inverse matrix, we'd be happier than clams!

I'm not really sure quite where to go with this, as the inverse matrix is infinite, and even an approximation would be prohibitively large... I never use that sort of technique when playing.

Haha, I just threw that out there. I've only just finished my first year of undergraduate, and I can barely define a group. Something about the way that the mines appear to create a function for the numbers around it. Certainly not a group, now that I think about it, but I'm just trying to think stuff up for when I actually get to the higher level. Really, I just wanted to spark something for a mathematical investigation other than the NP complete and probability.

I barely know what a Fourier transform is but from brief tidbits in passing. But I find it interesting to put math and Minesweeper together.

Thanks for the replies... I totally wasn't expecting prompt replies that were so informative.

@Matthew: I have always thought of MS in terms of signal processing - namely, the inverse of a low pass filter. You could, almost, get a perfect solver, by doing the inverse Discrete Fourier Transform of the matrix that changes the mines to numbers... except of course that some of the numbers are hidden behind mines.

I've always wanted to build a reverse-DFT solver... but alas have been too busy. It would do great on many patterns; for others I'd implement a few basics like 1-2-1 and that would literally solve 98% of all boards.

How does your group/ring theory approach deal with MS?

Hey all. I'm Matthew out of Long Beach, California and have wasted too much time on Minesweeper Do we have a for reals forum somewhere? I feel weird posting on a guestbook.

Btw, if any of you are mathematicians, have you ever thought of Minesweeper in terms of Linear Algebra or group/ring theory?

I got the popup and thought it was the mines appearing, hahahahaha. Having LCed enough 47s in my day, I thought I had another such occurrence. But noooo, I won it!

for those that care: OBV=155.34, BAT=52.97, Index of Badgers (wasted chords/s) = 2.96, path = 468.87 squares. An easy board, and a victorious one!!!

#10 world ranking!!!

well, Manu, you live another day ;-) I got 3.56 and 3.54 on relatively low (180 and 184) boards today... the 3.56 (51.49, RQP=14.44) is an RQP record, as well as #2 3bv/s... but what I really want is a 47.

I got another 48 today, as well as a 49. Most importantly, I had a streak of about an hour where almost every game I finished was at 6.9 or 7.0 c/s. So, I've definitely got the brutality.

[AreOut] print gyula picture and put it on the wall

@Thomas: I was just thinking the same thing! Congrats to all you who broke your 3bv records!

I didn't break a 3bv/s record since October last year and the only one I think I'll be able to break is the expert record. I'm not even playing these days. I am at my parents' computer and deleted all Minesweeper related programs to be able to focus on my bachelor paper! I don't think I'll get to sweep again until after I hand in my paper on the 2nd of June. I can't really sweep as well as I used to anymore anyway but I don't think I'll ever stop sweeping completely. SOMEBODY's gotta keep up the NF'ing!

Hehe. The verification code was BRB9... Be right back!

@Thomas: Check the link, this essay was written by David Barry almost two years ago, it describes early history of minesweeper community and development of top sweepers. Also you can download all guestbooks from 2001 till 2004 and read all stuff about community. Shortly in 2005: minesweeper community grew up, first international minesweeper tournament was organized, most of sweepers showed good improvements and some of them increadible records (including first ever sub50 exp nf by Dan, Dion's 39s on exp and 10 on int), new speed indexes were invented, new clones were written, active ranking was automatized, sufficient developement of clone ranking.

Grats DB!
I just f**ked up another 2 3bv board. One big opening in the middle, two groups of mines with one that contained the last square. and I went for the wrong group... by the time I managed to click on the right square the timer was at 2,55...

mir: the white pixel appears at the top left of the screen, not the game (if that helps)...and i'm sure you saw that you have to press more than xyzzy (it's in the cheat section). as long as the game is opened first, it'll work.

I see that Dion just broke the expert WR. Congrats.

I just happened to come here today. Does anyone know if there'll be an international minesweeper meeting this summer?

I'm working a bit on density nowadays. Once I get new batteries for my mouse, I'll try to break my records there. I figured that the batteries I had was in a poor condition when some brown-ish liquid started leaking from the mouse.

I've been using the computers on school. I couldn't get batteries today, because it's the national holiday in Norway. Everything is closed

Congrats @everyone!
@Jason: 1.) play, play, and play again
2.) Try playing for 100 instead of 50 for a start, you can always set your goals higher.
Good luck!

SubKolar! 76.464 on a 127 board (yeah, pretty bad) at 1.683 3bvs and 45.435 RQP..........but still a record
1+16+76=93 NF Total!
7 NF exp games won

I am getting really frustrated because I keep getting estimated Hopsings and sub60s on exp but never completing any... Hopefully I'll break 68 before the end of the AR period...

Well Tommu I changed my opinion, since beg is 8x8 and int is 16x16 then exp simply MUST be 32x32 or 1024 right?!

Expert has 512 squares!
Easy to see at a glance as 16*2=32, int=16*16, exp=16*32, therefore exp=int*2 and as 16^2=256, exp=256*2=512.

Also, exp can't be equal to 480 as 3|480 and 16 and 32 are both 2^n.

OK, so its easier to just calculate it, but wheres the fun?
