I'm a highschool student and I play Minesweeper all the time during my computer science class... I just got two of my personal bests, a 31 second intermediate and a 5 second beginner, 5 minutes ago! My teacher has no idea. I'll bring my digital camera in and take a picture of the best times thing if you need evidence. |

I just played an expert game and uncovered an 8 on the first click, has anyone else ever had this? On the assumption that the mines are distributed randomly, the odds are approximately 1 in 378,562. |

Hey guys, Just thought I'd check back in with you all. I think it's been over a year since I've competitively played minesweeper. I've been kept pretty busy with work and family so I just found myself having less time to play the game. Alas the frustration of not being able to beat the minute mark eventually wore me down! I'm glad to see that there are new records since I last checked. Congrats to everyone who's pushing the boundaries further and further! |

I'm not hear to brag...it's pretty impressive some to see such low scores. Anyways, i've been playing expert about a hour-2hrs/day, and I finally beat it. It's taken me about a month, and i've gotten so close, and made stupid mistakes. Anyways, I decided to look up Minesweeper online, and here I am now. Good luck to all who are world champs! ![]() |

Nice @ all! I turned 16 yesterday, and I guess I acchieved all the goals I had till then. I got a sub15 while I was still 15, and I got a sub50. But now school is really taking over. I haven't done a lot since the beginning of the semester, and I guess minesweeper has a lot to answer for concerning this. I have to catch up, and fast (My parents wont let me go to budapest if I dont get relatively good grades). So I decided to take a break from sweeping, I play for maybe 2 hours every weekend, and I play expert with 142 mines in breaks sometimes. And thats it for the moment. I'll start sweeping actively again after I get something done, but not counting holidays, I most likely won't be able to reach the level of activity I had lately again. That doesn't mean that I dont want to be part of the IMC (I guess I should always be able to find time for that :P) and it doesn't mean that I'm retiring. However, if you don't see me on the IRC or don't read new GB posts by me, you know where I am ![]() Meanwhile, Happy Sweeping! Thomas And I'm almost sure that I've had that VC before: UVFH |

Hit my 3rd sub-4 RQP this morning: 14,35 on a 53 board (lots of blindbox guessing, but a good game nonetheless). On the other hand, I am having a very stupid syndrome of 14's. I had about three 14's before I hit my 13 record, and now I have fifteen of them total. I would like to at least score sub-14 sometime soon ![]() Grats Rogen on your record, 2nd world record in less than a week! |

I’d like to echo Dennis and Schu a bit :P To be completely honest, I was very impressed by your recent arguments, Joni, and what kept me from nominating you was that you are quite new to the community, and I haven’t had the time to actually see whether I’d want you in the IMC. But if you keep this up you’ll surely be nominated next year! I know that what I just wrote can be interpreted in many ways, so to clarify: I am not saying that I am against newcomers in any way, but my votes will be for a mix of experience and character. AND experience doesn’t mean the longest time spent playing or spent in the community (since some people gain experience quicker than others) BUT time is still needed (if only to prove it). After this glum paragraph, happy sweeping, everyone! ![]() |

Honestly, once the IMC site is competely set up, I think the *official* rankings (for whatever definition of official is chosen) should be moved there, with all 7 IMC members having authority to change it once a score is approved (assuming that scores are approved). |

I agree with Dennis, and I wish I had nominated Joni. I'm not sure I would have elected you Joni, but you would definitely have been in my top 9 ![]() I have been in further contact with the TG gaming records website (linked) and they are very close to accepting minesweeper for records (despite a bizarre notion that minesweeper is too random to be skillful) and also to accepting our method of verification! Therefore, they would accept our records. Indeed they proposed that a member of the IMC should become a special referee for their site, so we would basically be in control of which records are accepted or declined. Maybe later I'll post the entire correspondence. TG is the gateway for video games for acceptance into the Guinness book of records, which would be fantastic of course! I'm not sure how we'd get on it, so I'm asking that. This brings up the timer again. I think even WP agreed that for this type of purpose (it would probably be a top 5 list) decimal rankings should be used, and with the +1 removed. As for the record lists... I'm still undecided really, especially after Jonis post. Since we already have both versions in a way, this is what I'd propose: 1. Damiens list is converted to remove the +1 for decimal rankings 2. Both lists (p-m integer and a-m decimal) are made so everyone is on both lists like Elmars combined list. 3. The lists are compared side by side by the new IMC, and debated and decided upon. 4. If decimal time is chosen, the +1 is removed (I believe everyone agrees on this), and if integer time is chosen, more debate must be had on whether times are rounded up or down. I'm still undecided about that. My argument against what Joni said is partly basaed on my OBV statistic (optimised board value). This is statistically normalised and does a regression of 3BV, openings and non-3BV numbers to assign values to each. The interesting thing is that for expert, most records, whether 100 3BV or 150 3BV or anywhere in between, are usually from 140-150 OBV. Records on bigger OBV and 3BV values are rare, but such records are probably made by people with an affinity for large 3BV boards. For intermediate, records from 30 to 45 3BV are usually 40-50 OBV. My point is that there is not as much variation as you might think based on 3BV... but of course there is still variation. But I'm still undecided. I still think that distinguishing between records should be done instead of having integer ties. I think I was in a 3-way tie for 98th position, which begs the question, was I really in the top 100 or not? This is something which should maybe be known IMO. IMC: I'm about to send an e-mail to i.m.c@hotmail.com about the twingalaxies thing. These guys are very close to deciding about this, so it would be best if you all read this as ssoon as possible. Cheers, Schu |

I am flattered by what you said Dennis ![]() ![]() I didn't want to mention names in my earlier post but I was indeed thinking about you and WP and Nikolaj, also Ace and Gabriel, and Manu (which I was surprised to find out that was a candidate only when I looked at the list, I had somehow missed his nomination though I have followed the proceedings more closely than you...) when I mentioned the word "outsiders". I kinda feel you guys are being overlooked... ![]() Jag kan säga dig att du ju finns i mitt kort list, men tyvarr, ärligt talat, kan jag inte lova att jag ska rösta för dig. Det är jättesvårt att bestämma sig faktisk, men jag har nu flera dagar kvar. hadde du bara varit litet mer aktivt i någon av debatterna under de sista veckorna... i alla fall, jag förstår dig, mina tentor borjar dem åkso i den här veckan ![]() ![]() |

@Joni: I see you're not on the list of people to vote for. I am in the middle of exams so I haven't read 100% of the guestbook entries for the past couple of weeks. Thus, I don't know if you never got nominated or if you just did not want to be elected. Well, just to be clear. If you had been on the list, you would have gotten one of my votes! ![]() ![]() |

@joni: i agree. 4 or 5 candidates are obviously going to be elected imo....the rest will depend on people who vote like you say. (i would like to encourage people to vote for gergely...i think he deserves it -- Microsoft tournament!) you can vote multiple times...all the earlier times will be erased. @zhang: you are registered, so you can vote. to be on the list, your name had to be mentioned before 8 december...you are a very good player...and a very new player (in the guestbook). if more people knew who you were i am sure your name would have been on the list. there will be elections again next year...sorry! |

Rilian, i wanted to remind you that Nikolaj is still in the running ![]() I'd also like to encourage everybody to vote for the people they consider more apt to fulfill the role as an IMC member, and not restrict your votes to a few potentially winning candidates. If there are any "outsiders" in your top7, but you think that if you vote for them your vote would be wasted, they will never get elected even though they might have been... I can count 15 candidates on damien's list, please give all of them a good look before voting @Tam: I was starting to worry a bit ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It could have been possible to include Curtis on the list, but his name was not discussed by IMC members...they could have decided if there was going to be an exception. The BE requirement was unanimous...but none of us thought Curtis wanted to be involved. |
