Minesweeper is a game we all know and love. Complete a game of Minesweeper in any difficulty and post a screenshot of your time/completed grid. Now is the time to prove yourselves, filthy plebeians.
Crap at Minesweeper? Don't know how to play? Want to learn new strategies? Look here: http://www.minesweeper.info/wiki/Strategy
- Beginner must be [highlight]9 x 9 (10 mines)[/highlight].
- Intermediate must be [highlight]16 x 16 (40 mines)[/highlight].
- Expert must be [highlight]16 x 30 (99 mines)[/highlight].
- [highlight]Do not practice the same grid over and over[/highlight] until you get a good time. Must be a renewed grid every time you lose.
- Must post a screenshot showing both the time and the completed grid for your score to be considered valid.
- Can use the default Minesweeper for Windows, or download Minesweeper X (google it). Minesweeper X records time to the millisecond. You can use any Minesweeper. As long as it's strictly Minesweeper.
- [highlight]If you're put in a position with just 2/3/4/5/6... blocks of undiscovered mines left, and you're forced to guess, and get it wrong, I will still consider this as successfully completed. So if this happens, post a screenshot. (Sometimes Minesweeper forces you to guess. I will not accept it if there's still a large portion of the grid left unsolved. Only for small chunks that require guessing.)[/highlight]
- Functions the same as Minesweeper XP/98
- Doesn't allow replaying of the same grid
- You can change the settings so that it records every game you have
- Keeps high scores
I have uploaded it here, along with an example recording (81s intermediate):

You can always just find it by googling it as well.

View Profile Yes, this. There are multiple ways to cheat. Including photo shopping the time.

View Profile My scores are fairly average compared to some of the people on this forum I am sure.
World record for expert is about 38 seconds I think. But it's hard to really tell. It's just so easy to manipulate the game and cheat.
Edit: Aiman, that last mine is actually solvable. If there's only one mine left, that means one mine must satisfy both the 3's and the 1. This means this only logical place it could be is block intersected by all three(3/3/1) which is the block located in the bottom left hand corner of the unsolved six blocks.

View Profile Flags are used to mark where you think a mine is. For example if you see an empty block with the digit '2'. It means there are two mines surrounding it. If you have successfully flagged both of those mines, you can right+left (at the same time) on the block with the '2' and it will uncover the remaining 'clean' blocks surrounding the '2'.

Cronos, stop. This is overkill. Eh, but when Zed comes in, beginners are dead.

View Profile Just 2 days ago, it took me an average of about 1500 seconds to complete expert. I'm know there are people on SP far better than me. I am waiting for them to arrive.
and Zed. What kind of sorcery does Zed have in store I wonder...
