The Mine Sweeper Trilogy

Well, it's not a trilogy, but I have a tendency to never be perfect and always make mistakes. Stupid ones if I have the chance. But I've realised, mistakes coincide with alert levels. Okay, that may just be a tad obvious. Here's my pretty bad research where the one of the many holes is that I didn't record all the games I failed. Mine Sweeper Expert is one of the most addictive games I play until I get it right, and if I can't make it, I end up leaving it miserably. So, when I do complete one perfectly, or with sheer dumb luck, I recorded it.

I began recording my "victories" from april 27th 2008 and here's all the won games and their speeds. y-axis is time in seconds, x-axis is the game played.

It seems I am more alert when I have no assessments...

We can assume everything in between those given times are of me failing at minesweeper.

Or it may be due to me discovering the untold secret of minesweeper! Yes I'm slow, but if you want, I can give a little tutorial of what I know. I've never read any guides though so I may not be entirely correct even though it's working.

So why did I start screen capping them in the first place. Besides extending the rarity of the moment, I had an idea of having a collection of all the possible mine formations and all completed. I know you can do it with a little photo shop on bombed fields but what's the fun in that.

so if you want to see them, here they are!
