so who plays minesweeper?... I've been playing for quite a while and it's the most addictive little game in the world once you get the hang of it. Would be interested to see other peoples times...

mine are:

Begginer:7 seconds..

Intermediate:44 seconds

Expert:100 seconds

it's becoming a habbit.. whenever im using 56k ill open up and a do a quick game while I'm waiting.. it becomes the ultimate procrastination technique :P, those who play it will know what I'm talking about...

I told ya it was addictive!!!! ahaha, well say you click on a square and it says one. That means in the surrounding 8 squares, 1 of them is a mine. So usually, with the process of elimination you can mark out exactly where mines are with the right click and solve it.

elbee111: If you wanna improve your expert times,... say you have a 2.. mark in the two mines that you know of.. then put your mouse over the number 2, then press both the mouse buttons together, it opens up all the remaining squares around the 2.. which saves you having to click them open individually :(

ZigenGT: thats nice!!.. One of my mates has a 3 second record as well.. but I think the problem with begginer is that you need luck to improve your times.. like if the first square you click on opens up the entire thing but nice none the less!

hmm i should probably work on my begginer times... I've heard of kid at school getting a 90something as well for expert but I don't know for sure.. The same friend I spoke about before with the 3 second beginner has a high 90's score for expert as well.. Damn.

This talk blows me away as I play minesweeper at least a few times a week.

My best is 238 secs for expert. I would have assumed that I could proudly display this for the world to see.

Now less than 100 is WTF! material to me.

How many random clicks does one do to get in this ballpark ? I normally click 6 random squares before settling into the game proper.

yeah 6 random squares sounds about right to me.. try to start at the top bottom or sides... stay away from the corners when you start. In other news I have a new smashing record for my intermediate time... 26seconds !!! YES!!!.. now I have to get a better begginer time of 4 seconds or less to beat a collective time of under 130 seconds..

I always mark the mines now out of habbit.. but i find it useful when your up to the last 5 and you have to guess, but if you know exactly how many mines are left then you don't have to guess.

the both buttons technique is thing I tried to explain before, it brought my times down like a sack of potatoes

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
