The first game I won after the 18 was a 20,39 (int)... on a 25 3BV board!!!! - the lowest naturally occuring 3BV I've gotten on the clone, also a lower 3BV than the dreamboard (interestingly, it has the same mine-mine-3-3-3-mine pattern- you'll see). I played it NF at a constant, slow speed, as it was one of the first boards I played today...My sub-25s: 18, 20, 21, 22x2, 23, 24

Video is linked below... game was done on clone .96, so you may need to use that version to view it

@Daniel: thanks...the PSATs weren't as hard as I expected... I think I did pretty well... probably about 10-15 ?'s wrong total... unfortunately, though, sophomores are not allowed to enter the national merit scholarship contest... my school pays for all of the sophomores to take the PSAT, but not juniors...

I got a dreamboard today and messed it up.

94 3bv on expert. I felt like I was going at a good pace, and got my 2nd time, but this really should have been the board that I sub-100d. Wow. I don't know if I will get another like that again, but apparently I was really slow, even by my standards!

The UPKint board for the week is below... it is the board that I got my 18 on... it's a really nice board, so I'd like to know how people do without unfair prior knowledge, so if you want, load the board and click the third cell below the upper-right corner of the board... the expert board will be harder, I assure you...

Wow... I'm still in shock ... I've been getting a disproportionally high number of low-3BV int boards (some 30s, a 31, mid 30s, etc), so it was only inevitable that I would win one... What I like to do is use the 3BV filter to get 3BVs <30, and then wait until the games are far (in the 5000s) apart, then switch back to legal gameplay and get a higher concentration of them... maybe this is just me being superstitious, but it seems to work...
About UPK: I'll create the boards within the next hour... I have PSATs (the practice test for the dreaded standardized college-admission test the SAT) tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early...

@Damien: it is possible to write a program which will connect your e-mail box and read all the emails with pre-defined format and process them.

like, you wirite on the site: if you want to report your scores, write
"
name=...
int=...
.."

and, if the email was proceed, it would be moved to terash, or logged or just deleted. this will help you much i think.

Just tell me do you want such a program and if yes, i can wirte it up. i have the base source

@Arjadre: if you collect new ideas for the UPK boards, i have some..

"UPK-Labyrinth type board idea. To draw it, you need to fill the board with mines and create a labyrinth. Flagging in the hi-density labyrinth is not a good idea, so there does not need to be the style restictions."

@Arjadre

The 3bv for the beginner was 2. I hesitated badly towards the end, costing me a 1. D'oh!

For the 33, believe it or not, I had a 3bv 53! Kind of high for a high score, so I'm hoping for lower 3bvs, but I just can't seem to catch a break. My minimum since downloading the new clone is a 45! Hopefully I can get sub-30 and sub-100s soon.

Big jumps are fun. I've gone 330-->210-->180-->140-->135-->131?-->126-->123-->113 in the past 4 weeks or so. I should also have the largest jump on the AR for this period

Practicing NF...got down to 27 (59 3BV) and then 25 (45 3BV). I also missed a possible 20 or 21 (est 21,57ish)with 3 easy clicks left... Yesterday I came across 34, 35, and 36 3BV int boards... I only won the 34 3BV board, with a 32!!! ; it was done with a bad mouse on another computer.
@Dmitriy: congrats... I still haven't gotten a 23, but the 22,96 was sooo close...(not that it matters)
@All: I'll release the UPK6 boards soon... I'm open to suggestions about 3BV, design, significance, etc... I'm thinking about using the original dreamboard, though some of you may have already practiced it...

@Daniel Brim: wow... you're improving quickly I remember my jumps from 151 to 125 to 113... By the way, what was the 3BV of your 33 and 2? Also... if you didn't already know, "Benson" first approached the community and accused everyone of being cheaters... he couldn't believe the scores... he broke 200 on expert and disappeared for a few weeks, and returned claiming scores of 1-9-35... He said he had deleted all of his videos because they made him bored... He submitted a screenshot of his "35" to the addicts group (unless someone else submitted it as a prank), which he supposedly did on a 171ish 3BV board, giving him a 3BV/s of >5... So that was the reason I included the smiley...
@All: what were your thoughts on "Benson"?
@Benson: if you're reading this and laughing at us, could you validate your scores in some way? If they are real, I would love to see some of your vids...

Hopsing.. not so far you were talking very badly about someones 0.1 bv/s beginner improvement, like that was a crap and should not even appear on GB and blah blah.. Now, you did a post about your even worse improvement of 0.02 seconds on beginner.. OK, I forgot your "speach" on IRC channel. But why the hell do you abuse me on my 0.05 bv/s improvement on Expert??? If you even got 53 seconds, that does not give you possibility to laugh and abuse all others. Including all your promises not to abuse anybody more (a week or so ago, if you "remember").. I have to say you are a hypocrite. And I proved it.

(sorry others, but this Hopsing's crap on IRC should be stopped. he cant understand this simple rules of politeness)

Scores falling.

And I was on pace for a 105 on expert and messed up about halfway through! I may get a large drop there soon.

And @Active Ranking
I submitted a 126 yesterday for expert but you still have my 135.

@Christoph: it's because you have to use the dd, mm, and yyyy codes instead of "date". Arrange the date as you wish then.

@Unaware of RQP/IOS: IOS=log(3BV)/log(time-1) and RQP=time/(3bv/s) . By the way, "Rodgiro" is the funniest way to mistype my name that I've ever seen!!!

@Dennis: just to make what Elmar said more clear: IOS is negative if the game is a sub-2 (obviously on beginner), because (t-1) will become a number between 0 and 1. And log of numbers in this range is negative. Of course IOS loses some of its meaning on beg, but is certainly excellent for int and exp.

@Vincenzo: Elmar answered exactly what I suspected to be. Try this, and if it doesn't work, then please e-mail me, ok?

@Vincenzo and other's having the same problem:
the problem is the starting position of the clone window. It is save in the minesweeper.inf . If the values are outsite the range of your screen you can't see it. Just edit the minesweeperclone.inf and enter values that fit your resolution e.g. mainX=100, mainY=100

Just got my 5th 50, I think it's time for another sub50. Video is linked below (new clone is required to watch).

@Rodrigo: major problem with 0.97b?
something very strange is happening to my new clone (fantastic by every other aspect!), which I have installed today and played without problems for a few hours. Now, when I start it, from my application bar I can see it's active, but I cannot see the board! If using the F4 button I open and play a video, I can see the bar scrolling, but the board window doesn't show up at all! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail! Please help me!

@dennis:
(time-1)^ios=3bv
The rule "the higher the ios the better" only works for time-1>1. For time-1<1 higher ios would lead to smaller 3bv.

@Roman: I think you're the inventor of IOS, so this one is for you... Why is it possible to get an IOS of -22.40461? My best is 7.96935... They are both 4 3bv boards but the -22 was finished in 1.94 seconds whereas the 7.969 was finished in 2.19 seconds. Are you really telling me that the 2.19 is the best game of the two? I never did understand the rationale behind this measure as your explanations are too far off the ground for me to understand them but I hope you can just explain to me why there's this (to me) illogical measure of which is the better game.... Is it simply because all 1-sec games are given a negative value? I'm a little confused!

3BV 157... Terribly unefficient game, lots of mistakes. But I was clicking like crazy and that did the trick. Feels great to have broken another barrier

Well, this is Daniel, just decided to change to my full name because that is what I'm using on the AR (decided to submit for kicks).

Personal goals!
Sub-100 expert by Christmas (with the way it's going now, this may happen much sooner, with the 9 second drop yesterday)... I'm also now using the double click.

Best ever by my 18th birthday (April 17th)

@Arjádre - it was on an 8*8 beginner board, not intermediate. I forgot to specify.

My fastest beginner game now is 3.53 3BV/s on a 17 3BV board (in 5.81s).

@Samuel Ambler: 3,43 3BV/s on a 25 3BV board would mean that you have beaten the world record for intermediate with an 8,29... Perhaps you meant 25 seconds on an 83-85 3BV board, at a speed of 3,43 3BV/s...
@Alexander Morgan: Congratulations! I'm confused... does this mean that 9x9 beginner scores are accepted for bestever? If so, I'm switching back to Winmine for beginner

Introducing the future Minesweeper Statistics program (tool)

The main concept is to divide the Minesweeper Game emulation from the statistical output. shortly, make a program that will read the unified history.xml file and will parse (read and process) the data in the various forms, like, generally: Tables, Charts, Graphs, Readable text.

so, for example, the "clone" will save the XML (Universal Markup Language to store the labeled data) file (including the protection markers).

then, there maty be written any number of programs to read the Minesweeper history XML data and output and convert it into any desired form, like:

Output ways: Tables, Charts, Graphs, Text forms

Convert ways:
- Text data - txt, html, xls, sql files
- Graphic data - bmp, jpg, gif, png files


one of the best features of such Minesweeper History representation is that you - the sweeper - will not be limited in the output ways, because any form of output may be easily created and supported. that is like a famous "plug and play" way - "read and use" your statistics...

we would like to hear your thoughts about this. the forum thread has been opened. just press the "reply" button and tell you ideas

@rodrigo: probably this idea is pretty old, but i am thinking about it. it is not secret that the Clone's and in some cases Arbiter's history files may be read and converted to the any viewable format (like charts etc).

let us divide the emulation from statistical results output? i think that would be nice idea to make just ONE statistical reader which will output any charts, tables etcetera as well as save this "outputted" infromation in the different file formats, like html, xls, graphical formats (like png) and html-scripting and php-scripting for the easy implementation on the sweeper's homepages?

@everybody, please, tell what do you think about this?

as for the new way to install, why the hell does not the installer ask for "would you like to replace your system files with the old VB run modules"? that is bad, and may corrupt the system

@Dennis: looks like it. I'm having trouble associating the video files with the new minesweeper clone.exe (I keeps using the old one.). But when I replay videos in the new clone by hitting F4 it works fine.
