I'll admit that I got the 2 second time only because my opening click uncovered all but one mine. 
Intermediate and Expert times were pure skill, though.

Care to exand on the year ago method on expert like computer type and such (marking versus clicking)...Why are you now not even close? Or do you think, like myself, that processor speed has something to do with it? My best times were on an old P133. I also find that going to minimum monitor resolution helps since MS is not scalable. I find it difficult to break 100 on the new machine (well it was new at one time p3 500mhz). However, I also do not play like I used to with 4 hour marathon sessions.We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.Comment

You can have luck in Chess. You might accedentally make a really good move."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

.. and then purposely follow it up with a really sucky one!
So it evens out!
BTW, I quit playing minesweeper when I stumbled upon a neat little trick to stop the counter at 0:00 It isn't CTRL ALT DEL twice in a row... heheLast edited by jpww; June 6, 2002, 20:43."I'm an engineer. I make slides that people can't read. Sometimes I eat donuts." - AliceComment

I set those times on a 486 at 640x480 resolution with a good, responsive mouse at highest sensitivity, I think.
I'd imagine it's doable on anything, though. Minesweeper is simply a test of your ability to do some simple reasoning while you move and click as quickly and precisely as possible...I actually play minesweeper because it makes me better at Starcraft.

I don't know triped. You are actually adding good data to my theory that slower systems give you better times. Anyone else out there have a similar experience? Anyone else out there know what a 486 is??Originally posted by Triped

My 486 was stolen by my parents and then hidden. It probably hasn't been plugged in for awhile so it's battery is dead. I probably have better times on it. Chip's Challenge is also on there. I miss that game."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

thanks, it's from "Spin City"
nothing really, but it's good if you got nothing to do for 5 minutes.<Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners.
