149 on expert. Supposedly a good player can get 80 secs but I just can't figure it out (last semester I pushed hard to get good at minesweeper but didn't happen).

To even be considered moderately good, you're supposed to have combined beginner, intermediate, and expert times less than 100 seconds
my bests are beginner 3 seconds, intermediate 22 seconds, and expert is what killed me..cause it's like 130
*note* I did some searching online a few years back to see how fast people actually were, that first statement wasn't to be a prick, but it seems that averaging under 100 seconds is pretty standard to be good

Beginner: 3
Intermediate: 34
Expert: 119

I have pics but since the timer can be frozen they're pretty worthless =o
I'm pretty far away from my peak minesweeper play (which of course is still nothing compared to the craziest players on them minesweeper sites).

I can't even believe there's a community of minesweeper players. Everything has it's niche, I guess. My best time on expert would be something like 5 minutes. ;P

it's all in recognizing certain patterns and having the handspeed to clear them quickly

i had a friend who was clicked insanely fast at minesweeper (he would either lose or clear expert in under 60 seconds) and i tried to get him into starcraft but he just wasnt interested ): he probably would have been able to crack 300 apm with training

55 seconds, i think.

i used to play a lot while on the phone with boring people like 10 years ago, don't really play it anymore. i could give some advice, but you're probably just better off reading the minesweeper community sites.

get the "minesweeper clone" client... it's got a ton of features that you'll like if you start to get serious about minesweeper.
I BELIEVE IN CAPITAL LETTER PUNISHMENT!!!!!

A handicap for me is my cheap mouse, and I die 60% of the time on misclicks.

most of the time he would get to a point where he had to guess and would just pick whichever one was closer to his cursor

There's pros for these too? O_O

On my calculator easy mode (8x8), I managed to do it in 23 seconds

I never beat Expert mode T_T I kept getting mixed up between flagging and actually checking for mines. Maybe this is why I lose so many Dragoons to Spider Mines T_T

Beginner: 8 seconds
Intermediate: 40 seconds
Expert: 126 seconds (148 non-flagging!)

I can't understand how one could go faster, it seems physically impossible for me. And it's possible to finish expert with only 2 or 3 guesses, just think of what the numbers say about where the mines aren't as well as where they are.

Wow, I suck at minesweeper. On this computer my high scores are:

Beginner - 13 seconds
Intermediate - 73 seconds
Expert - 242 seconds

Though I think I have better scores, nothing amazing by any means, on other computers.

beginner is 100% luck, pointless to try to get "good" at
medium is for micro practice, ie no flagging
expert is what counts, but even then it takes a couple guesses
