@Gergely: I didn't forget about these. I just didn't think of the Hungarian championships because they were open such that simultanously an international tournament was held. I didn't consider the Vienna International Minesweeper Meetings as Austrian championships as well - I was only talking of the two tournies which were ment only for Austrians.

To point out again in case there were more misunderstandings: the tourny on the 14th July is NOT international - the international meeting will take place on the 31st August/1st September.

ios vs rqp

Comments:  

let me tell you why I prefer IOS than RQP, I daily complete more or less 40 int games, 2 expert and 25 beg, and as I can't use the minesweeper clone in .net, and the arbiter freezes always, since 118 days I created my own file of stats with graphs, I day by day write in that file all my average stats of the day. I added a tendency line for some of the graphs and the results have been the following:(taking a linear tendency line)


ios for level int r^2 of 0.65
rqp for level int r^2 of 0.64
3bv/second for int r^2 of 0.56
time for the level int r^2 of 0.45
lowest time of the day for level int r^2 of 0.22
average exp time for level int r^2 of 0.18

There were other tendency lines in my Excel but I didn't find any other one more useful than the linear one. But I'd really like to know if there is a good method of measuring progress, because playing without looking at the progress fastly its somewhat boring I think.

@WP: oups, 2007 of course

@Tommy: That means 15->14.

@Tobias: Up to now the only local championships were held in Austria. In december I took the titel and Tommy in april.
It's meant only for Austrians. Of course we would let you play if you showed up but you wouldn't be ranked.
A project that I ready started (with opening a thread in the IMC forum) is to organize more local championships in other countries or regions. The main questions are: 1. define the regions (i.e. should there be an US championship or perhaps a seperation into est and west states to prevent far traveling) and 2. find coorinators for the local tournies.
So if you ask for German championships I need to aks back: Could you organize them?

Comments:  

Proxima Centauri is 4.3 light years away. Call that 4 trillion kilometers. Let's say a really ambitious mouse user moves his mouse 1 m/s. (That's absurdly ambitious. Even I don't do that!) So you need 4000 trillion seconds. If you recruit a million people, that is 4 billion seconds per person, which works out to about 100 years.

a million people moving their mice *very fast* for 100 years, would get you to Proxima Centauri.

good luck, Rilian!

Arbiter 0.43.1 had an UPK feature, which has an unincluded feature that allowed loading UPK board in normal mode. In a day it was suggested for everybody to download version 0.44 or later without the feature.

latest is 0.46.2 which is located on http://rilian.info/files.php

if someone is playing 0.43 and ignoring announcements, that is just kidding

@Christoph: send me your replay data format

@All: together with ukrainian distributed computing team, i am launching a new project soon. Client calculates the distance your cursor moves over the screen, and sends every kilometer to the server.

Server produces individual, regional and team stats, and moreover, adds all distances, calculates velocity and acceleration. the project target is to reach Prixima Centauri

client is in development, but atm you may check out the logo (on the link)

Comments:  

1st: I'm happy to announce that the 3rd Austrian minesweeper championship will take place on saturday the 14th of July (that will most probably only be of interest for Tommy)

2nd: The Vienna International Minesweeper Meeting 2008 is planed for the 31st of September and 1st of August. At the moment I'm very busy with other things so that the official announcement will have to wait two more weeks.

3rd: minesweeper.cc uploads will be easier in the future. At the moment I can't see how your Python interface could fit in, but well, we'll see. I already chatted with Rilian and mailed with Rod and when I'm back from my shiatsu-camp next week we'll start to work on it.

4th: The WR claims are pretty strange ones. The circumstances are just so fakelike... The vids themselves look pretty humanlike but also include moments of suspect. But really suspecious is the fact that they were done on arbiter 0.43.

Comments:  

Great score Manu!!!
And grats to everyone else with a record as well of course

As my schoolyear is over, I started playing again, and got scores of 15-47 today - not bad for a day Also, for the first time in ages, I will participate in the AR.
On that note, I uploaded a score of 47.12 - however, I'm not 100% sure it wasnt .17. At the moment it is uploaded as .12 because I was sure it was .12 then - I'll change it to .17 as soon as I'm done posting here, and I'll boot windows again tomorrow to check what is right.

On the test I got 50% male, with perfect rotation scores but miserable eye expression recognition, cant remember a lot more.

On another note, I'm astounded the WR claim topic died down so fast. (Or did something happen on IRC that I missed?) Anyway, I think the vids look OK, could be incredibly fast, but could also be a clever fake - I wouldn't consider myself to be good at judging what is real and what is not. However, I find it irritating that he never posted here and gave a public comment about his scores. I also think that the fact that he made contact only now is pretty shady, and would also be best explained by a post in the GB from him, or some other means of contacting the community at large.
(Again, keep in mind, I was not on in the IRC channel since I got my 12.)


Also, I thought of a new and even faster way to upload scores to minesweeper.cc.
Clones could have a function to automatically upload scores to minesweeper.cc if they are either records or best AR times, and a server on minesweeper.cc could recieve uploaded scores and store them in the database there. Of course, the password would have to be saved by the minesweeper program and transmitted for every upload. In order to prevent vulnerability, this type of upload should be restricted, only uploading of scores should be allowed, editing would still have to be done online, and manually.

I implemented a suitable internet protocol in python already, at the moment only the server exists, but the parser for the protocol content is done. The spec is also finished, I thought of implementing a GUI for the client but left it the way it is now, namely an example script with hardcoded message content. I would also have to modify the server so that it can talk to a MySQL DB, but that would be a matter of maybe any hour.

I'm not expecting my idea to have great impact - I think its an interesting suggestion though, and would like to know what other sweepers, and especially christoph, say. Largely it was a programming exercise, so I dont care if the idea is rejected - so be honest
Well, its great to be posting here again - happy sweeping everyone!

Comments:  

@KAmil: The timer jumps to 1 with the first click. Then it jumps again, when windows sends a timer message to minesweeper. Windows sends such a message whenever it thinks that a second elapsed - and since windows is sometimes very stupid, that might happen anywhen.
Usually the first second is a short one (you could start a game just a fraction before the system thinks it's time for a new message) but all the other seconds are too long (the system is sometimes busy - sometimes very busy with doing nothing - and the messages will be more and more delayed).
Indeed it's pretty pointless to look at the timer if you play winmine. It will give nothing else then a (bad) approximation of your score. It's also possible that the timer stops at all.
So once in a while someone comes along thining he/she jumped from 115 to 27 on exp.
(solution: install your favorite clone or counter to an usb stick to never be tempted to play winmine again )

It might still be rational to give more, because the other person might not only take peculiar value into consideration but only the value of teaching me a lesson. I think if you change it to £50,000, £49,000 will definitely win.

Got a 65 on a 171 NF the other day, 3BV/s record and RQP record, and 4th best time (now it's 5th, I got another 65 not long after). I'll upload it sometime.

Got 20/20 for the angles, 50% for spot the difference, 13/20 for empathy, 17/20 for systematising, 5/10 for eyes (I thought I'd do worse), I prefer feminine faces, have masculine hands for both the questions, got all 12 3D questions right, got 14 words. I demanded half the money. 50% male. I guess it's not 100% because I like musicals and can talk about emotions and stuff, and I think kittens are gorgeous

As much as I like the search to find my own profile, it really makes it hard to find others. First, I don't know who's in the list. Second, under what name are they in there, Levente/Jako, Marx/Nikolaus...? So a mix of both list and search would be better. Maybe just have a button "List of Profiles" that redirects to the complete list with clickable names.
Also, what are the statistics? Is that my "excellent" last AR submission?

nice guys!

New feature: Joni complained about my ugly drop-down box at www.minesweeper.info/profiles so I added a search box.

(If you type the full name correctly or in lowercase it gives you the link...if you type 1 letter it lists everyone whose name starts with that letter...if you type 2 or more letters it gives links to anyone with those letters in their name).

Only problem (I will fix later): Mo will match Damien Moore, but mo will not.

47.91 on a 123!!!! WOOOOO!!!! A REAL board (of sorts)! *linked*

On the test I got 50% male, disappointingly I scored low systematicness and empathy (I forget the real names), possibly because I am weak-willed and rarely stronly agree/disagree with anything

*considers self sub-50 player*

lol I scored low on both empathising and systemising! But I got 9 on the eyes section, which is rather contradictory, 'cos they say:
If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions.

I had taken this test a couple of months ago :), and found it really interesting. My brain ended 50% on the male side too :P (which looks like the average for men). I also got 19/20 on the angles + 100% on the rotation parts. Was really surprised to have gotten 8/10 at the Eyes expressions test (especially since i didn't actually understand several the english words being used there :P)
But the funniest part was the "Emotions vs Systems"

Your empathy score is: 14 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20

If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Your systemising score is: 14 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20

A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems.
Men in general are better at systemising.

Scientists are keen to learn more about people who score high or low on both tests. They want to find out whether or not empathising and systemising are linked.

That makes me a very interesting case i guess .
I guess it was the complete disaster at the "moving objects" section that made the masculine side of my brain have the upper hand

Just after jumping (maybe crawling ) out of bed, I got a 50% male brain. But I don't think my perception was that good

(I didn't know you were such an origami enthusiast, those pieces are great!)

Hehe Ace, I got a perfect score on the rotating part as well, with about a minute remaining. I also got 19/20 on the angles section, which was probably why they diagnosed me as having...a 50% male brain!

I thought you guys would probably have more "male" brains, with all the mathematical and engineering backgrounds around here...guess I was mistaken. :P

You guys wouldn't believe it! The first time in ages I actually put some effort into a winmine session I break my record! (Reason for playing winmine: I'm downloading stuff of the university network from a - nonsweeper - friend of mine)

This of course creates a bit of a dilemma. Ah well, I attached my flickr page. You`ll see them.

Well I geuss it's up to the IMC to decide

ARGH! Just blasted a 63.33 on the final click. Would've only equalled my record, not beaten it, but my best from the clone is still only 65 so I have no proof of the 63. Bah.

@Cristian: Of course it is marvelous!
Seriously, given that most of us are math or some kind of engineering students, we usually fair pretty well on these tests. There once was a survey on this in the yahoo group. Doesn't mean we are super intelligent. Just means we are more comfortable with the kind of problems asked in those tests compared to the general population.

1)opinion: I think that you should just make him play something like 42 in minesweeper clone in .net and everything is solved

2)suggestion: I haven't read your arguments, but I wonder why you don't assume games with images as proofs of for example a 17 as if it were "17.99" and have everything that has videos as a priority. And also sort the results by the sum

3)request: Damien, my old 1.87 in beg is in some places and my 1.82 in others of the lists here, anyways, remember to consider my 17.8-->> 17.58 that i did yesterday hahahah,

4)comment: i watched the youtube video of dion tiu and they are assuming that like to related to high intelligence, i wonder what is the average iq quotient of the sweepers, anyways i would guess it's not something marvelous

Fun situation, if this vids were faked then grats to the cheater As IMC member I need additional proof to add this results to rankings, because this guy pretends to the world records.

It would be fun for readers to know that we have another talent from Armenia - there is a guy with records 2-15-81 in Bestever, that's worst ever exp time for sub100 total players, next in Bestever is only 77 now.

I once contacted with Vazgen by e-mail, that's what I received: "Sorry, I speak not in Russian. Main language is Armenian, some English. Good luck with it's rankings however!" (an answer on my mail with suggestion to join russian ranking).

I never want to create prejudices before hearing people, i'd like to hear this guy has to say first... just a description of himself, how's life in Armenia (if he does live there) stuff like that

We all know people can get lucky. Especially on int (see Manu) and i believe he got lucky when he got his 11 last year (if someone missed this he is already ranked here with times from summer 2006: 11-55, i am quite observant to countries with only one player ranked for obvious reasons ). Getting even luckier with 2 great boards for 10's in a couple of months starts to challenge the laws of probability, but getting a 2 opening expert board with no guesses or mine clusters tops every immaginable luck chart.
I wish you are at least 1/100th of that lucky in love

[ Waiking up - true talking ]

It's true the games seem "human played".
It's true it's not peferct ...

But :
- it really looks like UPK to me.
- 10.000 on int ... WR on a 150.
- As said below, when you do a 10 in nov2006 it's a strange think to have never heard of him before. I mean ... When you sub80 for the first time in your life you check what the world record is normally lol.
- It is play on arbitrer ... Even if no one is speaking about it, it's quite strage that all the "questionable records" are played on it (sorry Jake and AreOut)

As for these 2 buddies, just ask him to install minesweeper clone and to get decent time. If his records are real ones ... he'll get a 12-42 quite easily and quite quickly.
