Does this ever happen to you while playing MineSweeper in Windows?

[polorboy]

Ok, so I am really bored and I almost never post on this site but I read a lot of the post. If anyone notices that when I made this post it is about 1:30am on the east coast (for those of you reading this from the midwest or other time zones). Well anyway I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else while they were playing Mine Sweeper? See the attached file because I no longer have a web site to put pictures up on and I don't have time to look for a free one.

.......wow, the only way I can get anywhere near winning is if I put on the biggest sized map with only 10 mines.

I would flat out kill myself.....sadness.

There is actually tactics behind that game... you have to basically feel for the mine...

AHHHH I hate that. Dude I feel you. Ive stayed up till 2 in the morning playing that damn game and the closest I have come on expert is 7 , very frustrating.

LOL I'm the same way. My fiancee on the other hand get's like 7 sec on the beginner and it slowly increases to the higher boards.

Wahoo!

It took some guess work to get it done.

Yep and it sucks when that happens. BUT you should have been able to work out where 3 of the remaining 4 mines would/could have been, and thus had a better percentage chance of clicking in the far corner...

I used to have the fastest time through every level of minesweeper in our office. I could do the expert level quicker than many guys could do the intermediate!

My girls scores are as follows, these are no lies:

Beginner - 7 seconds
Intermediate - 52 sec
Expert - 227

If I could figure out how to get it to show on here I'd prove it. I call the way she does it as cheating though but she get's it all done correctly.

It's simple logic, with a few blind guesses on the larger boards. The first move is always a corner.

The only 'strategy' is to determine what is NOT a mine, not what is.

I never thought that I would get this many replys to this thread. This is cool.
