I am going through a minesweeper phase, I love logic puzzles and recently I have renewed my love for this little addictive game!

So people what are you times? My best are:
Beginner - 11 seconds
Intermediate - 67 seconds
Expert - 315 seconds

Ill post updates as I beat them

Eleven huh? Must have been by fluke!

Beginner - 15
Intermediate - 83
Expert - Strangely, I've never managed one ever... keep trying though...

Beginner: 12.

I don't even care about the other ones. I just like trying to beat my beginner time.

I also don't play it that often though...

Here are time of one (ie. me) who thought to be strong:
beginner: 8
intermediate: 61
Expert: 117

I also posted such a thread a long while ago, tinny managed it in 112...
I also went searching for world best times and naively thought I could compete, world records are about 40 seconds.............for the expert!!!!!!(and the world champion is from Oz, Jay)You can see videos of those people here :
The Authoritative Minesweeper: World records and the winmine community

ANd the old thread is (page 2 and further):

Now, I get only to 150, because I don't have anymore a mouse with the middle button, if you don't know what it does try with clicking the scroll button, you will be much quicker...

[Jay-qu]

Yup I have seen that world record, they are crazy to watch!

The 11 was somewhat of a fluke, I have managed 8 but that was on another computer years ago and I didnt even know how to play it properly

Ill keep trying, now I have some scores to beat!

[Jay-qu]

BTW the middle button funtion can be done also by holding done the right button and clicking the left

[Jay-qu]

I was on a roll just before, beat all three scores

Beginner - 9 seconds
Intermediate - 63 seconds
Expert - 297 seconds

I just did a 57 intermediate, now you have to work to improve your expert... it's very easy to get to 140 actually, just do no think but just do...

[Jay-qu]

Lol, yeah I know what you mean, I seem to be able to do half the board in >100, but I nearly always screw up somewhere along the way!

I suppose that if you play long enough, you no longer look at the numbers themselves, but rather the colors and the patterns that they form. Once you recognize the patterns in the back of your mind, you'll be able to make quick actions.
