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

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
