But consecutive wins?

My screen currently says 165 wins, 0 losses, 100%, 165 wins in a row...

I'll have a crack at Minesweeper up at dad's this week. My records on his computer aren't bad, I recall.

2 seconds on beginner! Impossible to beat. Either your mousecontrol i supermanish or you got an extremely good placing of the mines. 👍

How do you post your scores? I tried right clicking and the only choice is "what's this?"

Bring the scores up in the window. Hold "Alt" and press "Print Screen" (it's to the right of the F keys on the top row).

Open imaging programme (even Paint works). Paste. Crop. Save. Attach.

How can you guys actually finish a game of minesweeper. Within' the first three clicks my game is over. I click on a mine to end the game every time.

Do you understand the "rules"?

Every number indicates how many mines are adjoining that square directly. 8 is, obviously, the maximum, but I've never seen one (you'd have to get a lucky click right in the middle of a bunch of mines. You work out where the mines are by a process of elimination.

Yup, quite easy once you get how to attack them. I might give this a go again, haven't touched the game since christmas..

Nice thread-digging Famine, and here's the 8:

Hehe.

My record was 29 seconds on Intermediate and my best ever on Expert was 119 seconds. But that was years ago on my old Win95 PC. Here's a screenie from my current PC:

Well, what a thread!

My best on Beginner is actually 7 seconds, ON MY DAD'S LAPTOP!!! With the crappy-little-black-pad-thingy-excuse-for-a-mouse!

By the way, I have also beat an 8X8 with 25 freaking mines and loads of lucky clicks!

My compliments to the undisputed champ: KieranMurphy 👍 👍

With a laptop?? Very good time.

Yep, kieran, 119 secs is awesome. I d/l:ed su27killers vid of it but it needed some strange codec which I didn't feel like installing so unfortunately haven't seen that one. Anyone else saw it?

If enough people play it enough times, eventually someone will come across a combination that takes much less clicks to beat, where the mines are all bunched up together. I bet that happened in those times.
