What's a good Expert-level high score in MS Minesweeper?

[CZroe]

I haven't been trying to get faster but I just got the pop-up for entering my name for the first time in a couple months. I was moving at a decent clip, but if I can improve my accuracy I'm sure I can do it a lot faster.

I think I should try to get faster, but I want to set a target first. As it stands, I end up bombing out by accidentally clicking on the wrong square about 90% of the time I try to go fast.

I guess I should take this to the "Gaming" forum.

HA! Unless I'm playing from my thumb drive, I almost always type "Anonymous" (work/school PCs, etc), though I don't think it's ever taken me that long (unless I accidentally left it open for hours).

Here is a list of records from some random site, so there are probably better records out there..

Notice the minimum to even get on the list is 99 seconds for expert, with around 36 being the top score.

My best is just under 200. Someone I know is around 150.

Good time? I'd say in the 100 second range. I never got my expert time better than 100 personally.

My personal bests were 1 second beginner, I think 36 seconds intermediate (not sure on that one, could've been faster) and 100 seconds expert.

My best ever expert time is 152 seconds. I hate playing expert though, because it almost always comes down to having to guess at 2 or 3 mines instead of using logic. I hate that.

I've run 41sec in expert once, but that was a long time ago in HS. I played minesweeper for 4-5 hours (aggregate) a day for months on end. The game went a lot like the youtube videos being linked in this thread. Usually my times were in the 60s with a handful faster than that and then the lucky 41 game. Nowadays I can't even break 100 anymore. But I also don't spend my whole life playing minesweeper, so that's probably good.

Also LOL at the collegehumor.
