@AreOut: got into some thinking today about life in general and stuff like that , it suddenly came to me that you must have played that game at 11 on some good old 386 with an "avantguarde" windows 3.1 on it... while, on the other hand, matthew was born after the pentium, and windows 95... I doubt he's ever seen a windows 98 either, and probably associates it with the dinosaurs... MAN! CAN WE REALLY BE THAT OLD???

Holy **** tam, nice game!!!
If I may add, you also missed my record by 0.02 secs
I had hoped to finish in front of you this AR, I guess this makes that relatively hopeless, I'd probably have to get an exp highscore
Well done!

I have had a pretty long sweeping drought, where I couldn't attain a single record. I could notice my own improvement, but at the same time I had suffered innumerable blasts of some pretty good estimates. This record feels SO good, since it was done on a very high board (anything 150+ is a very high board to sub-50 on, in my opinion) and it has also brought my RQP record down to 13,01. Seeing that I was 0,02 seconds from not attaining a record makes the record seem even more grand!

Congrats.... well, everyone! Amazing stuff!

I might note that John Howard, the australian prime minster, has posted a youtube video about climate change. It is currently at only 40,000 views, despite having been around for 4 days, having extensive media coverage in australia and being about one of the most important issues that exist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5jtiJPlv4Y

This rate of viewing is about a quarter of the rate of viewage that Dions 38 video got in its heyday, and is still only about double of what Dions vid gets now, even though it has plateaued and Howards video is new.

What does this tell you? You can reach two conclusions:

1) The world doesn't care about climate change as much as it does about minesweeper

2) Howards advisers are not doing their job, otherwise he would have made an announcement about de-mining countries and taking up the Lady Diana appeal thing!!

@ Kat: No way can I go anywhere anytime within the next year (or if I do it will be to India to see my friend get married), but I'd be happy to host anything in Adelaide at basically any time.

Sh.t nikolaj, 55 with LSS also . Very well done as always =D. Would have been nice to stage another fight at Vienna (for the 15th place or there about ), unfortunately it seems very unprobable i will make it. i would have made a stop to prague first had I been able to come

Grats to you too mathew, 11 no words there, you might want to have a look at nikolaj's videos to improve your efficiency a little .

@tommy: the third team are the ALL BLACKS, (i.e. New Zealand). that's a reference to Rugby (unless that weird sport of cricket has sth similar too...)

Wow, I never realised there were so many world class players in Australia. I was thinking - for a split second - that I would fly dover there and we could get a tri-nations thing going, but then I pictured my mouse mounted on Dion's wall! . It wouldn't be too bad though, I think I would beat all but three of the Aussies.

I watched The number 23 last night on my PC, you know the one where Jim Carrey gets obsessed by the number 23, and of course as has become practise in my den I was playing some minesweeper on the side. So the movie starts to end and I rush to finish my current game so I can get a good, uninterrupted look at the ending. Not such a great ending but what I noticed next was that the game I had just finished was a 23! Not only that, but I finished with a 2.35 3BV/s. I know, the five is inconvenient, but isn't it just 2+3? The next bit creeped me out even more. I looked at the clock and what would I see? The time was 23:12, or in other terms 11:12, and of course 11+12=23. If you add the ones you get three, if you add the twos you get two, 23!!!!!

Okay, I'm almost hiperventilating here, gotta go find a paper bag.

after being stuck on 73 for several months, I get 2-72's today. I'm actually submitting the slightly higher time because its also a 3bv's record where as the other one was pitifully slow but on a record low 3bv board, ain't that something.

austrian championships did take place last saturday: Tommy won it again beating his scores from Budapest acheiving even a 48! I ended up in second place which I was afraid to lose since I suffered a cycle accident the day before and did hurt both wrists and the left hand. Andreas ended up third.

Ahh, tried all day for a 77 expert for 99 total, no luck. Got an estimated 57 secs on 77/109, then lost it on a guess :(. Went through maybe 2000 boards today, even saw a 262 3bv board. I only finished 3 games, times being 81, 93, 99. I have had incredibly high 3bv boards, and only a few low (109, about 5 in 120s.)

Maybe tomorrow.

Okay, absolute last post for the day, I promise . I just decided to take another gander at the Wiki and on a whim joined Minesweeper addicts on Y-groups. Pleasant surprize to then find out about Sue Cavanaugh's online clone - which is actually an excellent clone - and thus I decided to play a few. Low and behold, the first expert I clock is a 56! Which is, as a matter of fact, the fastest time recorded on her site since she standerdised the thing (with schu as accomplise). I emphasize this last part seeing that there was a 24 it 2006 on her site.

well, out for now.

@joni

You see, the thing is I don't really favour my odds in asking my university to invest more money into me than I actually give them in a year....twice! That means I'll have to save to buy the tickets and then buy them as early as possible. And seeing as I've been to Budapest already, and August this year is a bit too soon to save enough dough, I'm aiming for Vienna '08. Sales for air tickets open a year in advance, so knowing asap is preferable

But it's not so bad though. I really would've liked to go on an origami focused toer to Japan in July (I think ) which would've included a few conventions, exhibits and a few Japanese monuments. I like origami you see , but that toer would've cost almost twice as much as my Budapest trip! (Budapest => ±1300 euro; Japan => ±2400 euro!)

Oh well.
P.S. check out my origami at the website attached.

oh i'm quite tired today , didn't notice you wrote Vienna 2008 there ... well it's a bit early i guess, but i think after this years tourney Christoph will know more, IF there is gonna be a Vienna in 2008, and when it's gonna be in that case (as usual he tries to hear from the people partecipating this year, the dates that would suit them for the next one) Usually is Stephan Bechtel's call

nice play Bertie :), don't know about the average number of openings (i guess you are referring to those ), schu must have some good numbers on that. According to his statistical analysis of a lot of players, boards with less openings have the potential of being solved faster. On the other hand, I've done most of my records on boards with 15-17 openings, and Kat recently got a record on a 20 opening board . I'd think 11 is below average though.

About the Vienna tourney the dates have been known from long ago (Although Christoph hasn't really been that crystal clear in announcing them) 31 August/ 1 September are the definitive dates and check the website for the schedule and info
With most probability i wont get there, but i wish you the best of luck and hope you make it

Oooh! I'm on fire today. 2xsub60 for the day might not be a big deal to you guys but these where really good ones. The last one was a 58 on a 167 board at 2.91! It had 11 holes so a good time wasn't really probable.

Here's a question: What is the average number of holes on expert per board? I think this gives some indication of a board's conducivity to fast play.

Another thing. When will the dates for the 2008 Vienna comp be known, I wanna start downpayments for my trip

Oh, on the SA bid. I think I'm gonna try and get some support for you ppl to come play here. If I don't try, I won't get any! If I can find the time of course

What is your opinion about a youtube channel just for playing videos of your minesweeper records ?
I think it would be great to see how professionals play as well as people with records which are about 100 or more seconds.
If there's much reaction to this (let's say 25 answers) then I'll try to make the whole thing work within the next 4-5 weeks.

Haha well I can guarantee I would participate in that one Niko

Btw joni I think Ryanair started flying here and even if not Dubrovnik (southest city in Croatia) is ~10 km far from Montenegro and you dont need visa for Croatia too so that wouldnt be prob, and there are numerous buses from Dubrovnik to montenegrin cities.

About sponsorship to be sincere I havent even thought about that, everything I can promise is a drink from me

But I could give it a try in some insurance or telecommunication companies, however they will probably just stare at me

hahaha Nikolaj . Does that mean I have to have to set up some kind of backup in Albania in that case?

Seriously, countries like Montenegro and Albania would be a good choice from the visa point of view (with respect to countries like Sweden or Austria for example). [Well, Zhang may still have to do a bit of paperwork, since I don't know why but people think the Chinese use our countries as an intermediate stop for illegaly getting somewhere else .]
Also the accomodation costs are lower, which are countered by the fact that the flights tend to be more expensive (no low-cost companies deserving of that name, although this summer was an exeption for Albania, since Lufthansa was getting back in Tirana after 10 years... so had put up a massive promotional campaign).

The big question remains though, can you manage to find any serious sponsorship? I'm afraid the number of companies willing to sponsor any sort of activity (in Albania at least, but i immagine the situation is similar there) is very limited. I'd say Western Union + a couple of Insurance companies + a couple of banks + maybe a cell phone operator... This means it's usually quite hard to convince them...

That's why I think it would be easier (read more places one can try) to find sponsorship in the western countries...

I'm seriously considering hosting the championship in Montenegro, because I think that 90% of europeans dont need visa for us. However it would be stupid to be in February because Montenegro is touristically the most interesting in summer, so I would pick June 2008, and Christoph can host his in late September so they dont be too close

Btw, I met Gabriel today , we spent a couple of hours together. We played minesweeper a little, but as he hadn't played since budapest, it was a bit hard for him!
So we played PES6

Well, Europe does have the biggest (active) minesweeper community (or so it seems to me :P) with so many countries not that far away from each other, making it easier for others to get there. Anything held in Australia or the USA risks turning into a national, and not international, competition. Not to say that they shouldn't hold one... I shall definitely try to make it if there's one in Australia when I'm back home ;)

I would say that australia deserves to hold a championship. They havent had international meetings yet, even though the best player of the world and one of the players that do most for the community (schu) live there.
I think the USA is a hot candidate as well, america deserves a tourny as well. So far everythings been in europe, and even though the locations so far have been extremely convenient for me, I would say that players abroad deserve something as well.

Well, i did have a thought of organizing sth here in Stockholm since the student power here is incredible, and their organizing abilities/nr of activities organized beyond anything i had seen or imagined.

Problem is (beyond the usual sponsorship and the fact that it is an expensive city) that i have absolutely no idea what i'm going to do in three months, let alone in one year... My residence permit expires in February, so I have no idea WHERE i might end up either ...

Considering the above, I would like to PROUDLY announce the full support of the Albanian minesweeper community to the Montenegro (31 Feb) bid

Well, Vienna seems to be sure for this year - but is there anyone else who'd like to organize a tournament? For example, the world championship should be in an other country next year.

Please indicate if you'd like to host the next tournament so that I can give you some help. In case of multiple applications the IMC will decide who'll be the lucky one

btw, I'll go to Vienna for sure

If you want to stay a for a week, it makes sense to stay monday to monday since the one week public trasport ticket (EUR 14) is only available in that period.
The announcements of the past vienna tournies are still available on my site ms.dotti.at - unfortuneately I wouldn't know any cheap hostels much closer to the tourny location.
I'll think of writing a guide next week wednesday (after I passed my numeric exam... hopefully)

@Christoph, Tommy: it would be nice if you'll make something like a guide for people who will participate in Vienna. I'd like to know where the tourney will take place, where its better to stay (near tourney or maybe closer to the major sights or to the meeting point), where most likely we will spend free time, will we have "meeting point"... Lots of questions...

Probably I'll stay in Vienna for a week. Its harder to get austrian visa for me (comparing with visa to hungary), so it will take more time. I would be glad if you'll answer soon. And finally: this time I won't stay in some hostel and book the room, it gives huge problems with visa, so people - book the room by yourself

I'd like to know who else will participate, fell free to tell me that

VC: BAAA
