About an hour ago. Advanced strategy: play a lot. Avoid work and play instead.

When you're down to guessing, it's just a numbers game - the more you play, the more chances you have to win. Congrats for getting that close - THAT takes skill.

I haven't played in a while but back when I did I would complete an expert a couple times a day.

Yep, that's usually what kills me when I play Minesweeper.

I used to play it a lot when I worked helpdesk. It was something I could easily do while on the phone w/o taking much concentration. That said, it's been a few years.

230? That's slow!!! I'm not even that good but I can complete expert on average in 160-170 seconds, and I'm willing to bet some people here can do it even quicker!

When I first started an office job, I beat minesweeper expert. I also beat Myst and Riven. Then it all got old...

Lunch break....I don't eat lunch or having anything to do, so I surf and play solitare/minesweeper. I was tempted to bring my laptop in and use it to play real games during lunch but I thought that was a little over the top.
