Minesweeper

He thinks there's a spot on the board you can cilck to get a one click boardf for beginner every time.

Yeah, it's luck. You can easily disprove that theory in 81 very quick games (click every spot once...)

But! Where you click still makes a difference, because of how mines are revealed. It's statistically better to click a corner than a side, and a side than the center (but the differences aren't that big).

I think minesweeper is conspiring against me... I 've gotten 32 seconds 3 times so far. :undecided:

EDIT: 27! Now on to expert....

Do you mean 32 seconds for beginner of intermediate? I got the seemingly customary 4 second beginner thing, but I have no idea how you might get 27 seconds on intermediate. :shocked:

27 needs practice, nice coordination and a fairly good board. When I was at my best in my last year of college I could usually get below 27 once a session.

18 on the other hand, which I only achieved once... I still don't know how I did that  :cool:

[Liebatron]

I can usually get somewhere around 27, but there's a slight difference, you are talking about intermediate, I'm talking about beginner . The only time I really practice alot is in programming class. I get done with my work before everyone else. IT IS AWESOME! Basically, I go to school, and play videogames for about an hour, on alot of the days.

Are there any strategies for minesweeper? I'm horrible at it.
