Yes, that's it.
For example if you have 3 cases (and the others empty) marked as 1 2 1, the two 1s are mines...

Yeah, there are many little logical tricks that I have be recognising and now I dont have to think out the logic anymore, so my times are slowly creeping down

As I said now I get only to 141 (with this mouse) tell me when you beat this so we can start a competition between us.

will do

Can anyone offer any insights into how each game is made? are they called upon from a database of premade games, or is each created individually?

I notice you cannot loose on the first click, so is the rest of the game determined from that point on?

I see quite a couple of guys on that website (on the world ranking list) have scores for beginner at 1 second. Is that actually possible without cheating? I seriously doubt it...

My bandwidth sucks too hard for me to download any of the vids, so I can't say. But ONE SECOND? NO FRIGGIN' WAY!

I think its total luck and the whole board just works itself out in one two or three clicks.. i dont think you can do much more than that in a second!

And the counter starts on 0, that means you have 2- $\epsilon$ seconds to finish in 1.

And no its not cheating, try 100 of them and you get down to 5 or so (as I didn't remember my old mouse and old computer record I wrote the records I do now, but I was at 5, 6 or 7).

Jay, if you surf a bit on the world ranking site and links from there there is all the explanantion: I remember having it read ages ago somewhere

I have won beginner in one second - it's total luck. I clicked and all the bombs happened to be along the edges. My record for intermediate is arong 50 seconds, and my record for expert is about 135 seconds.
