Minesweeper Scores

andy_wh2000 · 10-10-2004, 08:47 AM

I've become somewhat addicted to Minesweeper in the past month or two. I just listen to music and play to past the time.
Here are my scores:
Beginner-3
Intermidiate-35
Expert-123

Just wondering what the rest of you have scored if you enjoy a little of this game from time to time.

just to let you know, there are cheating programs out there for minesweeper (sad yes, I know) so some of these scores may not be legit. My brother who goes to Vanderbilt now was addicted to it like crack. His times were
Beginner-6
Intermediate-25
Expert-80

still on the computer. Ill post a pic if necessary.

Beating Beginner in 6 is luck right?

andy_wh2000 · 10-10-2004, 02:03 PM

anything in beginner is luck if your below 7 or 8. I just got lucky when I got my 3.
80 on expert, thats nice. I've been struggling to get under 115. I get so close too.

Ok. Things like this really piss me off. Can anyone explain the stupidity of this game error?

LMAO!

You got pwnd by minesweepr!

that crap pisses me off. I once had like 4 or 5 mines left and it did some crap like that to me before.

I like how it put you into that impossible situation. Never seen it before, but ohhh it got you good.

MineSweeper is mathematical. you can always solve it.

Probably you mean that the algorithm is trying to generate the mined and non-mined areas in accordance to the games' axioms (or rules, i.e., if there is a "1", on the squares surrounding the "1" there is exactly 1 mine, etc.) is based on a mathematical equation. Absolutely. Why am I saying "trying"? Simple. As the screenshot (I'm sure it's not faked) above demonstrates, the game does not follow its axioms, as one of them clearly is: "Every mine must be defined by a surounding square whose number provides information on the position of the mine."
Ergo: the statement "MineSweeper is mathematical" is not valid. Call me a smart-ass or whatever, I'm just sorting things out.
One more thing: Nothing surpasses the purity of mathematical thinking. Note that I wrote "Nothing" with a capital "N" ;)
