You are going on faith that the location of all the bombs is indeed predetermined, and it is not screwing with you as you click into unresolved areas. A clever programmer could recognize the guess situation and make the program impossible to beat.

Re: Minesweeper

Neither of the "cheats" worked for me... and I didn't try the sound thing.

Hmmm. The cheats DID work for me. The double mouse button thing appears to depress a 3x3 region of squares. However, it does not appear to give any information or help out in any way.

The "white dot" works only too well. It appears in the extreme upper-left of the entire screen, not just the Minesweeper window. It is one pixel. It turns white when mouse is over an open square, black when over a mine.
