Hi, I hope someone of you can help me. I'm looking for the name of a logic puzzle. It's made up of a 3x3 square. Each of the 9 squares can eiher be black or white. If you hit a square all adjacent squares change their color. You have to find out which squares to push to get from a certain color scheme to another. Thanks, and happy sweeping. |

The Rubik's Cube best time is 11 seconds I guess (by a 15 year old Chinese). I have a friend who's fairly good at it he says. His best time is around 25 seconds. So I guess most of ya'll need some practice. Apparently, getting under 60 seconds should be easy. Off course, that's according to that friend. It's easy for me to say his words, I've never tried to solve one ;o) Good luck |

I'll be on vacation from sunday June 26th to sunday July 17th, spending 2 weeks in Corsica ![]() By the way, I can announce my new record for intermediate, that I've done yesterday: 13.42 on a 32 3bv board. I'm pretty happy, since I had problems to get good times before I stopped playing (since early May)... but this time is isolated into a sh1tload of crappy times, rarely sub18/sub65 ![]() ![]() the video is on the bestever |

Detrusor: clone is quite laggy then. Imagine, how much of those +0.0x seconds you simply miss. ![]() Rodrigo: needa PickClip -> BitBlt rebuilding. ![]() AreOut: no, Arbiter does not add nor subtracts any 0.0x times from the actual time. and, btw, the BitBlt board draw method is the same fast, as your current winAll system, because the Windows platform actually uses the BitBlt draw methods to draw itself ![]() |

hello, i ignored minesweeper since my fist window 3.1. i never understand how to play the game that time one one day, one of my friend show me the possibilities to detect mines.aha. i start to love it ever since. but ireally wanted to ask some questions from experts. i know you guys dont have to guess which one ans where are the mines.my friend told me once about 'if 1 and 2 is here, this is sure a mine.' or something like '2 3's will make this position a mine.. just want to know is there any hints i can get to become better and not guessing. thank you very much. ![]() |

omg! what are you speaking about? "2 clicks in one second..." That is just a 1 3BV board and clone ALWAYS adds 0.01 to the time result (Just ask Rodrigo). Of course, you can't define those +0.01 sec on large 3BV boards, but on 1 3BV board that is obvious. ![]() |

hi elmar ur right, i'm german (in der nähe von stuttgart->Heilbronn) i mainly concentrate myself on int i did only one click, i tried it several times with replay in cheat mode: when i clicked in the middle of the field it was 1.00 and near to the corners 1.01 s @rubik cobe: i tried it a few times, but i think i always needed >10 minutes ;-) mfg |

playing minesweeper like this could mean you're a loser, sure. But some of us are just married and have alot of time on our hands. My wife and i compete against eachother. she's at 143 now. Whatever. Everyone needs a hobby. If you can get a sub 60 expert, i'd think that'd demand respect from anyone who's ever tried. You wouldn't respect a loser right? ![]() |

1.01 is a result of the computer. sometimes it takes 0.01 seconds to open a greater part of a board. im not sure, but very convinced, just try on a 30x30 board and 10 mines... Manuel Heider is german. Just take a look at bestever. 73-17 i think... ![]() |

@Patrick: That depends on your reasons for playing minesweeper. If you play just to pass the time or perhaps just to prevent you from other things that you should do, then possibly yes. But if you play because you like playing then the answer have to be no. Otherwise everyone who does anything he/she likes to do would be a 'loser' as well. |

Darn, I totally forgot about the AR. But I haven't been sweeping much anyways. I got a Rubik's Cube for my birthday and got pretty addicted to that. My current record evolution is: 8h->15min->5min->150sec->120->105->100->86->71 I'm sure many of you have tried this as well. Would be nice to hear some scores. ![]() I know there is still a lot of room for improvement. I haven't yet searched for advice on the net and I think some of the sequences I came up with are pretty inefficient. I ussually need around 100moves to solve it. ![]() About the tourney, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, since it's right in my exams period. ![]() |

@mouse speed: I tend to play with a higher mouse speed cause I need less and more precise movement of my hand. I never use mouse acceloration, it makes the mouse less precise due to an additional interpolation and it's uncomfortable as well. @Oli, Robert & die anderen Deutschsprechenden ![]() ![]() |

Marcus I would advice to gradually decrease the speed. I think you will find that you become more accurate as you turn down the speed. At one point you reach a level where it's too slow, then you just gotta take it up one step again, and you've got your optimal mouse speed. I reckon I started around 75% of maximum and now I'm down to 25%. But find your own level. |

Yes, I'm all OK with Patrick. Fastest sweepers are all using this way of clicking. "Chording" is the word to describe this simultaneous R&L click. If you weren't using it before, try it, teh sub100 will seem so easy with it. ![]() |

@europeans who will participate in tournament: please confirm your participation beforehand, to go to Vienna you need only airticket, I have to book hotel, to get visa (i can't get visa without booked room).

I want to come. @Christoph: It will be great if you will find a cheap place to live until July 13. |

MineSweeper Tournament in Vienna Saturday 13th of August Unfortunately I've had no time up to now to organize the details. But I booked the PC-room so nothing can prevent us from having a cool MineSweeper meeting. The university will take nearly all of my time till the end of the semester (30th of June). So you can expect to find more details on my website on the 1st or 2nd of July. This time we'll play a bit different than in Budapest, but more about that later. If you want to register just send me a mail. btw: there will be no participation fee. I guess there will be enought time to include a sideevent with nonosweeper, if there's interest. Also for that, just send me a mail either to christoph dot marx ad telering dot at or to christophmarx1981 ad yahoo dot de. concernig this how many experts finished poll: I cannot seriously estimate this number for me, but it's anywhere between 10000 and 100000. I think a much more interesting number would be the number of exps finished in the last 100 playing hours. But still difficult to determine. |

i meant to tell everyone later...when i collect more, but i am too happy about things: i have been collecting and archiving old minesweeper sites. if you go to metanoodle.com/minesweeper/Paradise you can see chris paradise's old intermediate page (started jan 1998 finished jul 1999). i also have brian chu's old site (but it will be a while before it is up). a few of you VERY oldies :) will remember seanet, clint olsen, alex perel, wachirin wichirimala....i'm trying to track those down at the moment. also, matt mcginley has allowed me to post his site as well (it is on a free server and will be deleted soon...all i do is erase the ads, and provide hosting, etc). anyways, i hope some of these sites will be of interest to the community...they bring back memories for me, at least! |

btw, i have to say, that my new hi-score (90->86) was done at 172bv board!!! i had blasted already more than 100 sub90 good games and i know, that expert 86 sec is not my actual hi-score... the really strange thing is that last few days i almost had not played minesweeper, and today my hi-score-bringing game was done just after 10 minutes since i decided to sweepe a little.. so, what's your new-hi-score-setting experience? do sweepers beat their times after few hours of sweeping, or in few minutes after a big pause? probably, i will create another poll at Addicts Group.. |

Well, I don't know what to say, I hadn't the feeling to go that fast. ![]() It was achieved on the arbiter, that I find great, because of its history features. ![]() So I have 2 links for you : -If you have installed the arbiter : http://perso.numericable.fr/ace666/Rec/Inter_High3BVperSec/Int_21,53_4,23_3BV=87.avf - If you have not: http://perso.numericable.fr/ace666/Rec/Inter_High3BVperSec/4.23.avi |

Erm just to correct what I said - on Lasse's profile which he wrote in April 2004 he said he had 15,000 sub-60s, of which 1500 were sub-50. Still pretty **** impressive tho!! Maybe if Lasse reads this he can give us his most recent total? I'm 24 and I've been playing on and off since I was about 12. But I've only been playing the clone for about a year and a half, and I've had to reset the history when I reinstalled my PC. so in the last 8 months or so I've finished around 500 Expert games and 4000 intermediate games, which probably isnt that many. |

yes, it is quite hard to count all the finished games... but i set a bit wide intervals, so, you may approximate your total value... it was quite impressive to hear about Lasse's 15000 sub50 games ![]() ![]() haha, now i can't remember how many thousands of beginner boards i had completed... and my beginner mode games are some equal to your expert ![]() |

No offense, but given the very large margin for error, I, and probably many others have no way of accurately completeing such a poll. I think you would end up with a bunch of guesses at best. I don't even track games over 100 any more, but, thankfully, they are getting fewer and further between. I would suspect that unless you had only played the clone, ever, without resetting or updating the history, that that is the only way you could even come close to being accurate. Even Hopsing is off on his count, because I know for a fact he was posting scores before last May. |

923 finished expert games since 27th of may 2004. That is about as many expert games I have solved in my minesweeper career. I am looking forward to cracking the 1000. gergely, 44 on one day is awesome! |

@Marcus: Dude you're sick. It took me 6 months or so to go under 100. You still got a lot of progress left believe me. If I play an expert game with the intention of finishing it, I finish a lot of games, but they're usually high times, high in the 90's. If I play speedy, I only finish 2 games an hour with a bit of luck. |

For comparison I finished 289 expert games in the first 4 months of this year(up to and including 30 Apr, that is.) I personally believe that I finish fewer than average, though, and I can rarely remember finishing more than 10 or 12 in a single day. |

@Andrew - I think most people find it hard to finish Expert games. I seem to remember Lasse saying once that you should be able to finish half of all the expert games you start, but I think this might only apply if your name is Lasse Nyholm and you have over 15,000 sub-50s to your name! ![]() @Marcus - tell me about it - I just came very close to a low 70 again (73-ish?) on a 117 3bv board.... ![]() |

To put the final point in Arbiter host: I searched for some hours a good free host with php support, and finally found one really good - LiquidH.com By the way, it supports a lot of additionnal features (if you are searching for a good host too - just look to the features list!). That's a hosting provider, so I think I will not have more problems with it. So, now all the data moved to a constant place, and I will delete all the previous mirrors of "minesweeperarbiter" sites when have access to them. --> www.minesweeperarbiter.liquidh.com thanks to all who gave me host-suggestions! ![]() --- Marcus: just be patient. your speed is always increasing from game to game, just wait for a good board and i am sure you will set your new hi-score. btw, i have exp 90 sec too and already blasted ~100 sub90 games in the end! |

howdy all. I have been playing minesweeper (for speed) for about 2 months now. It IS alot like beating my head against a brick wall. IT's likes i can see my record breaking by like 10 seconds but everytime i get close, i make a dumb mistake. It's the definition of frustration. I've hit 90 twice now. It's crazy watching the avi of the 41 sec. That's over twice as fast as i am. Am i doomed with 90 forever? ![]() |

AWw so close to my first sub-50!!! I just completed 46 seconds / estimated 49 seconds on a 131 3bv board, that was so easy until that one click. unfortunately the last corner was set up in such a way that even just attempting to clear that part of the board (in cheat mode after the legal game) required 7 tries, meaning that there were 7 guesses that I would have had to make differently than I usually would. but still, estimated 49 after 46 seconds!!! oh well. i saved to video for torment |
