Thanks Levente (I feel more comfortable addressing you by this name, I grew up in the minesweeper community knowing you as Levente!). I appreciate the encouragement very much, and I am really looking forward to my next sub-59!

I blasted another good game (estimated 54 seconds), but if you take a look at the video, you can easily see that the game could've been 52 seconds if I had made that guess correctly.

128/134, unfortunate am I!

very nice, Tam! I went 59->58->52 so it is entirely possible to make such huge jumps. You're perfectly capable of sub50ing (don't tell DB that!); just play less tard!

I had a pretty nice couple of games going, including two 61's in a row. However, I made one of the worst blasts I could possibly make:

Tam blasted last exp game --> Est Time=51,66 3BV=104 / 116 3BV/s=2,28

Scarier is the fact that I think I could've had a sub-50 on that game. Imagine a 10-second jump from 59 seconds... blaaahhhhh

I got a nice lucky sup-100 board of 106 3bv, and I completed it pretty well I think. I made a couple of clicking errors, but a record is a record and I am still happy about it.

6.70 + 4.34 + 3.02 = 14.06

I have been trying to finish 141 mines on expert for 3 months now (4 people have 140 already). I just got to 10 mines left, and had a choice of 50/50 guesses. I decided to take a random guess (10 mines left in 26 squares for better odds) instead of placing a flag beside the lower 5 like i almost did. I guessed wrong. If I had guessed it correctly, it turns out that all the other 50-50's were eliminated and the board was easily solveable.
It is so frustrating! I started the game with about 13 guesses on my first 25 moves and got them all correct, then made another 10 or so guesses during the game correct. Just 1 more and it would have finished...i am so ******* i hate playing custom...i just want to finsih once so i can quit! grr.

Congrats Tam! (and to all recent record breakers...lol)

Anyway, I just posted to ask: what happened to the suggestion of making an official IMC page? A simple page with all the basic imformation (members, decisions, maybe history lol) would be enough. There's no need for frills.

If it exists already...well, I wasn't told :P

Wow, grats Tam *is jealous*

I've been looking at windows random numbers and board cycles, and I've discovered that (on my computer at least) the random number function (or the one in Visual Basic ) is a cycle of 16777216 (=2^24) numbers. So there can only be this number of distinct Minesweeper boards? I think that's probably wrong, and it doesn't explain the board cycles I'll keep trying

Yeay, the joy of breaking records really fast Scored 88 on a 172 board

I do feel that learning to non-flag is really helping me think about where to click, because my style of flagging involves flag and then chord just about everywhere at about 5 cl/s, so much of the thought processes are removed

62.56 on a 169 board, this is my 3rd 62!! I really hope this doesn't develope into a syndrome, but at least I'm completing my 62's on higher boards each time (127 -> 151 -> 169 3bv), so I guess that's a sign of improvement.

The only thing holding me back from breaking my record is patterns, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it and knowing whether or not a certain spot is 50/50

SOLVED!!!!

Comments:  

The Clay Mathematics Institute offered million dollar prizes for each of 7 problems they did not believe could be solved, but which would be very important if they could be solved. One of them, made famous by Minesweeper, is the P=NP problem (see the math links on this site).

Some Russian recluse has solved one of the other 6....the Poincare conjecture. He lives with his mother, refused the prize and refuses to talk to reporters. He didn't even publish it...he posted it on his website, and some other mathematicians discovered it there!

Which problem is next?

I just posted all eight of my 1-second games on a beginner thread on the bestever forums, so if you're interested at all, you can check it out. I dunno, I like watching how people solve beginner games

Got another 62 today (62.47 on a 151 3bv board), which is also my current RQP record for expert. Two records so far in one day, woot!

Best scores are probably Roman´s, but compared to "sober performance" I think I can be #1, because I usually attack my top times and quite often I break some record my 16-65 were achieved with mild hangover

VC=ARJ8 Arj - any idea what the 8 means?

I would assume the best alcohol-influenced scores are Roman's

I'd really like to help with the wiki... I have very little else to do (plus writing articles is fun)!

Btw, I finally found the "Board Cycles" page on this site... spooky

@ Rodrigo & Damien: thanks, thought so. I think my explanation could perhaps be a good official one, since it is simple and covers everything pretty well I think. The only exception is that you can change from right-handed to left handed of course.

@ Damien: I thought I sent you and OBV page ages ago! Well, OBV is on the verge of change right now, so I'm going to hold off for a little, but I'll send you one soon. If there's any other way you think I could help with the wiki, let me know!

yes schu...you are correct.

thomas...i decided to attempt making this site into a wiki...i've mentioned it to christoph and a few other players....the trick is the programming! i am collecting a huge databse (800 entries so far) of all minesweeper events and discussions in guestbooks, and i'm hoping to generate articles from it. if some of you guys want to help (schu! where's that obv page?) let me know. luck!

hrm. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought middle mouse button used as chording *was* allowed without question, since for basic mice it needs no actual setup in winmine, and ditto for scroll wheels.

However, setting it up to do 2 left clicks, one upon click and one upon release is a different matter. I was under the impression that that was Elmar technique.

Also, setting the scroll wheel to chord upon click as opposed to release is dubious, as I assume you wanted to do. Useless really either way, but dubious.

I had the feeling that anything you could do without further setup with a stock standard mouse (bare bones, 2 buttons and (optional) a middle button or a depressable scroll wheel) on winmine was legal.

What I'd find interesting but illegal is to have the scroll wheel chord every time you scroll it a notch.

@Elmar's Technique: Okay, that's cool, it's hard using the wheel button anyway

Anyway, woo, I just got my first 65 (on a 147), now I feel truly special

A minesweeper wiki would be interesting... yes, there would probably be quite a lot of information that could be put down. And the dictionary page does suggest there will be an extensive database soon ( )

Ian: using any button as a doubleclick is known as 'Elmar's Technique' after Elmar Z, who got an 11 and sub50'd using it. He has since withdrawn those scores after community protests...the IMC has talked about it and generally doesn't like it, but we haven't got around to officially banning it.

Is it cheating for me to use the middle-mouse button (configured to simulate a double-click) so that buttons are revealed when the button is depressed rather than raised?

Congrats Robert!!
my 16, I got a couple of weeks ago, looks like that also . At 2.77 cl/s!! but yours is nicer (.79 IOE!!), straightforward. mine was at a 32 3BV board, I almost blasted it in the end, and then it took me a whole second to find where the last free square was. Lets hope our 15s will look better
