143sec for expert on minesweeper this morning. Whee. Beat the mindygoth at last.

Can I have a new wrist please?

And in other news, took the shelves down in the office today, all things being packed away in little boxes. Don't ask me for anything, as I have no idea where anything is any more! :)

Wah! I've lost my high-scores! 143 sounds familiar, but then I seem to recall close to getting down to double figures (but that could have been something else).

Aha! I have 116 on my machine at work! =:-p That's a long way off the experts though. =:-(

But then, is being an expert at minesweeper something to be proud of?

HTF does one get 116, or even better?
Must have had a "lucky board", surely!

Yep, luck was definitely involved.

Sigh. stop throwing those rocks at my brain, it disturbs my spelling!

It's a long time since I played, but I think I could do better than 143 (but probably not as good as 116). Without cheating.

There's a trick that if you mark the known mines than click both buttons on a square with a number on it, and if the number matches the number of marked mines, it will clear all the remaining unmarked ones, which tends to be quicker. It's not cheating, it's part of the game.

nods,
mindygoth showed me that secret trick a few months ago, which did make clearing the board easier. You should have a good bash at beating 116 , and take screenshots of it as well, would be fascinating to see smoeone clear the board really quickly! :)
