I have a beginner score of 1. I clicked a square, and everything cleared. Hasn't happened since, but I haven't played in about 7 years.

I used to hate minesweeper before I learned how to play it in my academic team class. I used to play it every day and had the best score in my class. I wish I remembered some of my scores.

edit- I play it sometimes, but it's when I'm in class, so I don't get to really try for high scores.

There is an open problem in mathematics that stems from the minesweeper game such that if you solve it, you would win one million dollars.

I'm ashamed to say that I have infact broken the 100 second barrier. What a bloody load of time I wasted on that game...not to mention the debilitating carpal tunnel that resulted.

I was addicted to minesweeper for while in grad school.

I have a friend whose best recorded Expert time is 84 seconds. He claims to have done 79 second once and I believe it.

I would be willing to lay money that he can beat 100 seconds in 1 hour of play. He is just that good.

I've played this game a few times, but I wasn't very good. Some of these times are just insane. What kind of strategies are there for minesweeper? I never have any clue what I'm doing.

If you've scored 101 at Expert then you know how "good" it is. Fishing for compliments much?

Well, OK, I knew for myself it was damn hard to get to that 101 ... actually there was some luck involved, the final eight bombs all wound up packed in the final corner I got to and my final click cleared like 1/5th of the board. 111 was my best score prior.

What I didn't know was if or how many other people played or have similar or better scores. Seriously, I didn't know anyone else who even played.

I would MUCH rather be a winning mid-limit poker player than a nerd who can score 101 in Minesweeper. Maybe someday ...
