He wants zeds ass on a silver platter.


And I was just one click away from the complete and utter domination of everyones expert scores.

EDIT: Improved expert score. Definately 20-30 seconds I can shave off this though.

Sorry to bump, but this god mode score needs to be shared. Just to further ruin Exilement/Zeds self confidence.

The following link will allow you to download MinesweeperX along with the recording for all of my records (probably has every single one I have posted a screenshot of, including this one). The download is like 0.5mb.

You mean 51 seconds on intermediate? Yeah That's pretty nice. My record was around about that before I got the 45. I am incredibly proud of my 150 in expert though.

I found that all of a sudden I was able to maintain a faster speed. In the past, 250 seconds on expert was legendary for me. It was my record and I could never get lower. Now my record is 150. I am aiming to get under 100. I think in order to do so I will need to be far more efficient and learn some new patterns though.

It's weird how the grid goes from being a bunch of numbers to a pattern/terrain after playing for so long. I barely think before I flag a mine anymore, it's just obvious. But I need to keep getting better as I slowly approach the world record of 31 seconds.

I play minesweeper so much because it helps me in my language learning. Learning a language is almost the same as learning minesweeper. Eventually after enough exposure, the brain gets used to it, and it's almost automatic. It gives me confidence that after enough time, the brain can do almost anything. I remember when it took me over 3000 seconds to finish expert. I didn't really learn any new tricks, I just got better at it after being exposed to it for so long. Language is the same (just requires a much larger amount of exposure). I will get sub 100 in expert. It's just a matter of time.

Edit: Screenshot them all Exilement. Gives us both motivation to get faster. The faster you beat my scores, the faster I can improve.)

I just do it while procrastinating from doing my university homework. Put some music on and waste some time with minesweeper.

Is there any probability that someone from SP would be able to break the world record?

I hell had to photoshop the beginner high score back into the picture. For some reason the software glitched and now says my beginner high score is 9999.99.
