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 | ||

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). | ||

Everything has it's niche, I guess. My best time on expert would be something like 5 minutes. ;P 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 | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

medium is for micro practice, ie no flagging expert is what counts, but even then it takes a couple guesses | ||

Int: 21 sec Exp: 86 sec (poor) I did get 14 seconds on Intermediate, but it was glitched (although not my fault). I got 25 seconds on Intermediate on my laptop mouse, too bad I didn't have a real mouse. | ||

the first milestone is beating expert. the second milestone is beating expert <100. the third milestone is beating all 3 with a combined time <100. the greatest milestone would probably be not caring in the first place, but that is not a possibility for us. | ||

26 66 When i was a beginner i thought it was a game for the intelligent. Then i began to understand the mine locations and started thinking it was a game of speed. Now i'm pretty sure that just having pure speed isn't enough. To be great you have to maximize the effectiveness of every one of your clicks. I used to flag nearly all of the mines but now i avoid about 25 of them. The guy in the video probably avoids 70% of them. The cool thing is that video is currently the world's fastest time and it was set in april of 07... last month. Much like starcraft, minesweeper is a game so deep that people are still finding ways to improve their game. | ||

I have reached that milestone... was there the first time I opened minesweeper and went "ahhh... sif bother!" | ||
