[Dice]

A few months ago I beat it in 46 seconds before when I was trying really hard to go fast, then the other day I did it again without really trying, and now I just did this without really trying or paying attention, I was just mindlessly playing. I think I'm starting to learn the art of zen solitare.

Too many mind. No Mind.

The time it took me to read that post, and write this one, you could have beaten Solitaire.

That blows my mind.

It's probably one those random occurrences.

My fastest time was 2 minutes and some odd seconds.

I'm sure it was a fluke, but I just played the cards I was dealt. :lol

a game of beginner minesweeper once took me 2 clicks.

 

[Memles]

I pulled off 118, under two minutes, the other day.

If Psych Lectures have taught me anything, it's the art of solitaire.

You need to move off Solitaire and get onto the real procrastinator's addiction: Minesweeper.

This is the truth.


And Beginner can be beaten in one second. All you have to do is keep playing until you get a one-click win.

"Solitare is a lonely man's game."

Don't remember where I heard that quote, but I love it.

 

[hobart]

I remember how badass I felt when I learned the "dual mouse click" trick.

Minesweep me? BAH!!!

 

[Ecrofirt]

the dual mouse click in minesweeper? I finally beat the game after I found that out, and now I'm unstoppable.

It's from a james bond movey, can't remember which one.

I think it's the one where they play that huge computer game.

Wow, those lame classics aren't part of my system since Win95.
Go install your copies of Half-life 2 quick. (be it legit or anyelse !)

Hmm.. the one with Kim Basinger? What the hell is it called, I can't remember.. hmm.. Never Say Never Again, maybe? The one where Connery returned? The unofficial Bond movie..

When you flag a mine hold the right mouse button and left-click a cleared square that has a number. This will clear out all of the squares touching the flagged mine that are empty, as long as the flag was properly placed on a mine.

 

[Poody]

do you play triple of single card draw?

|0|0|0|0|0|
|0|1|1|1|0|
|0|1|4|_|_|
|0|1|_|_|_|

where the 1's are 1's on the board, the 0's are the empty squares, the 4 is a flag, and |_| are unclicked boxes.

the upper left unclicked box obviously has a mine in it. So, you put your flag down there. noe if you fo to one of the ones that's in some wat connected to that flag (example below), and you hold the left mouse button, and then press the right, it'll get rif of any adjacent clear spots, because you've already marked the mine. Beware though, if you mark a false mine, it'll detonate the real one.

|_|1|_|

in the above exampe, you see all the possible spots where there could be a mine for that 1.
