No really, my job sucked so hard, i was in competition with the girl sitting next to me, had loads of time on our hands and we pushed it to the limit. Must admit they way to get such a low time, is pure luck as you need to get large areas revealed by haphazardly clicking around the field No ini editing.

Boring accountancy role.

The object of Minesweeper is to locate all the mines as quickly as possible without uncovering any of them. If you uncover a mine, you lose the game.

So the numbers revealed when you click on blocks determine how many possible mines are around the block you have just clicked on. From this you can guess and/or accurately determine which blocks have mines around that number. And the mine(s) could be anywhere in a 3X3 square around that number. Clear?

Is this without the cheat where you can hover over a square and pre-mark any mines before the timer starts - then clear the board in ten or fifteen seconds (even on very expert)?

you have me on the first two, but I spent a year in the silly service and could complete it in under 150 9 times out of 10. Best time was 131. Just tried it again and can't get under 200. The dual click (both mouse bottons at once) is key to a good time
