Got into Sydney, had a look around darling harbour and the QVB (queen victoria building), went to a net cafe, and got a 16 int on winmine... I was using enhanced pointer precision, which I don't normally do, maybe that's why... worth trying later!!!

Gotta go meet Kat now, bye!

These are my scores on a laptop. I get a lot of time on it because my brother is always on the desktop. They are on XP though, and I only have some screen shots. I really hate playing on it, but I do anyway. My real name isn't Betty, it's Cody, I only said Betty because of the movie Kung Pow.

Make sure you're consequent though. I know what it means to get caught playing minesweeper and not doing anything for what you're supposed to be doing (in my case, school), and it isn't fun.

WHOOOOOO!!!

The youtube minesweeper vids I've uploaded have finally hit 6 figures in total views! 100,000!!

My channel its self has had 1700 views, and I have 10 subscribers. Check it out using the website link.

The big hitters are:

Dions first 38: 48,000
Rogens 47 NF: 30,000
Cheat 35: 5,000
Rogens 43: 3,000
Jakes 9: 2,500
Olis 39: 2,000

In other news, I'll be getting to sydney on the 9th early in the morning. Hoping to meet Aussie sweepers Dion Tiu and Benny Benjamin again, and Katrina Cassar and Gareth White for the first time

SWad to hear you're retiring Ian, but good luck with the maths! I could have been in one of those things once, but accelerated education sucks in Australia, so I got held back a lot

Manuel, you freak! The current world record was 5.55 by Elmar (and Jake as well, I believe) until you broke it. Much grats, and do you mind sending the video to my email?

@Ian: I really hope you will come back to minesweeper and inform us of your whereabouts from time to time! It was great having you here buddy, don't stop til you get that sub50 indeed

Cheers Thomas,
Yes, the IMOs are much harder than national competitions (except perhaps in China )! I've linked the problems from last year.
I'll probably still sweep occasionally, but it won't be intentionally for ranking gain. Who knows, perhaps it will make me relaxed and sub-50

That's a real shame Ian, I'm sorry to hear that. IMO, holy crap! I think the austrian championships will be hard enough for me... And I would have to be lucky to pass through the regional ones :D Are the inernational examples much harder? Good luck there!
Is there any chance that you start sweeping again when the IMO are over? I watched your vids today and liked the style a lot.

And way to go Zhang, I dont understand chinese but the site impressed me. You seem to be very engaged, keep up the good work!
We have the same mousepad I think
I watched the vid of your 49 today, you've got a great style!
Have you seen our IRC channel yet? It is called #minesweeper on initialized.org , and rilian has established a client, http://rilian.net/irc (see website).

It's with sadness that I announce that I am retiring from Minesweeper, effective immediately. I am going to concentrate on Maths Olympiad training to try to get to IMO 2007 in Vietnam, which is very important to me. I fulfilled my main goal, to break the minute barrier, and having a 15 is good as well.

I'll probably check the guestbook from time to time, maybe even post once in a while, if anyone beats sub-50

Goodbye all, it's been fun

I have some New Year's Resolutions. We'll see if I follow through with some of them:

Get total under 100 seconds.
Beat 24x30 Density with 205 and 210 mines.
Continue experimenting with Intermediate and Expert Density.

Not much, but we'll see what I can do.

Thanks to the people who voted for me for the IMC. I didn't make it this time around but thanks anyway. I appreciate the support! A few surprises for me when looking at the results but there were so many good candidates, so it was hard to tell how the results would turn out. Congrats to the people who got elected! I hope you'll do a good job for the Minesweeper community!

I met with Jake last April when I was on vacation in Florida. He was able to consistently play int at near 3 3BV/s and blasted a sub20 a few clicks from the end. And yes, he did click the sh*t out of my mouse. His exp record (as I recall) was 53 at the time. The level he played at was consistent with his 53 considering that the setup was so bad that the entire week I used it I found it extremely difficult to sub85 (my record was 64) on expert or even sub4 on beginner.

@Christoph: Just a correction... he has only played MS for me once, and he did indeed play far from his scores, but I was watching and he was more limited by my setup... he was playing faster than he was physically playing, if that makes sense. It was in another meeting where he played nono, and he matched his high score on that (this is after I improved my setup, and nono is not exactly mouse intensive).

@all: Happy new year, and to those who voted for me for the IMC, thank you.

@Betty: Already when Jake was in the mid50s I heard the first voices who suspected him to cheat. There was never a clear proof that he cheated but some suspicious moments and behavior. Never someone saw him score a good game live. When he met Daniel he played far away from his claimed scores and prefered doing some nonosweeper then. So there's also no proof he's not cheating. Then he started to play really close to the worldrecords in a pretty unbeliveable manner. There was a long discussion in the IMC whether or not he's cheating. When he then came up with the 9 we decided to ask him for additional proof. We're still waiting. So we decided to not update his scores untill someone trustable saw him play some really good games (or till he manages to convince us in a different way). Since his 9 he keeps on claiming sub13 on and on but seems to not take any videos.
I personally hope, that we can verify his scores as soon as possible. If he'd show up at the worldchampionships that would be a perfect opportunity.
I think about this issue over and over and considered traveling to the states to find a solution, but on the other there might others come up with suspicious scores and I can't visit them all (at least at the moment I can't).
btw, Betty, where are you from?

First of all, Happy New Year everyone!

About my minesweeper goals for 2007, I don't really have some...
Becoming French n°1 is a goal I have since I discovered some other people were playing minesweeper.
I'm 2s away from this goal, getting it would make me enter in the BE top ten, too.

Then I guess I have these 2 goals for 2007.

Happy sweeping all!

PS : I uploaded my history to the Clone ranking, then reset it. It's so fast to open now!!

I still have a couple of questions about the 9 second intermediate video.

1) Are they questioning all of his scores or just this video?
2) Are they saying it is board memorization or not real at all?
