and what do i have to show for this?
low, low scores!

post your scores!

I can usually do expert in about 280 seconds. But I suppose that's nothing special.

Minesweeper... never played it much. Maybe in 450 seconds on Beginner, or maybe not.

My current best times are
9
57
120

Yeesh, I look pathetic

Beginner - 10
Intermediate - 64
Expert - 231

Well technically I can get 0-1 for all, since I found a way to stop the clock :p

Lol you hacked Minesweeper. :p

In the Win98 first edition version the scores were saved in c:\windows\winmine.ini or inf, I forget which. My scores were 0 for each.

yah, but i minesweep with out cheeting :p

Sometimes on beginner, if you click on a blank mine you automatically win.

How DO you play Minesweeper?

The gameboard is a grid of buttons. You click on a button to signify that you know there are no mines on that spot. When you click a button in the grid, one of three things will happen:

1) You have clicked a blank mine. When this happens, each of the surrounding eight buttons are also 'clicked', because there are no mines in the 8 surrounding squares. If they are blank also, this process continues in a chain reaction until there are no more blank mines.

2) You have clicked on a button adjacent to a mine, in which case the number of adjacent mines will be displayed as a number in that grid square. Just think of blank mines as the number 0. Adjacent mines are mines that are in the eight surrounding squares.

3) You have clicked on a mine. Game over, please try again.

Using the process of elimination and such, you can usually decipher where the mines are, but not always. The point is to mark all the squares that contain mines (by clicking the right mouse button to place a marker). Once you currectly mark all the mines in the grid, you win.

No, THIS is a Time Waister.

Beginner: 14 sec
Intermediate: 63 sec
Expert: somewhere around 250 sec. It was on a different computer.

Nothing special, but Jesus do I play minesweeper far too much. I play it every day in three hour-long classes.

Beginner : 14 sec

I didn't have the patience to actually finish Intermediate or Expert.

Pffft, Minesweeper Flags is where it's at.

massassi is my time waster;)
