haha! I actually took a picture of it on my phone to gloat to my housemate, if I can figure out how to put it on to my computer it'll be there for all to see!! It beat my previous best of 114 - I'm supposed to be working to be honest!

I normally get around 108.

Though that is on the easy setting (one suit)

How many suits?

[CrazyHorse]

I'm more embarrassed to learn that it tells you how many moves you did it in; I've been playing for years and never knew that.

Don't worry Hoss it is a meaningless stat in some ways. I tend to do the two suit version (medium difficulty) which I get out about three quarters of the time. My son does the four suit version and actually wins that about a quarter of the time (I don't even bother trying). Wins at four suit can take many hundreds of moves and are a greater triumph for the mind than doing it quickly IMHO. The number of moves owes more to the layout of the cards than the cleverness of the player.

I used to play the 2 suits game but it got boring.
Now if I play (which isn't very often), I sometimes play the one suit game, but release all the bottom stacked cards up onto the main play area before starting playing properly. Try it, it's quite a challenge!

I've actually played that way too. It does require a good mix of brain power and luck (which unknown card to turn up when a choice must be made).

I try to do two suit, but by taking out all four of one suit first, and then all four of the other suit.

That's more of a challange.

I prefer Minesweeper - but I'm stuck on a laptop at the moment, and can't do it fast without a mouse.

I've often found that the very last click in the 'difficult' minesweeper comes down to a pure guess in which logic does not help. That can be annoying. My best time is 653 seconds, my usual is flirting with 999

I just cheat to win.

I've done it in 86 using a mouse (only 144 on a touchpad)- it's just about recognsing common combinations and their solutions.

[americantrotter]

Christ! I can get it int the 160 range when I really get going/lucky.


That last move 50% chance really pisses me off when you've already cleared 98 mines only to lose!

I guess a lot when I could work it out by taking more time.
There are lots of combinations with a unique solution that occur - learn those and it's very easy - my hand is slower than my brain.
There is a lot of luck though - I managed beginner in 2 seconds by just clicking 3 cells

[jaffka]

there is a cheat for minesweeper
