Mostly just for personal reference (and bragging rights), the game is quite relaxing to play while watching windowed avi files. I'm now running a beta of minesweeper clone which is currenty the best clone out there. Anyway, behold, my updated personal bests.
Time
1+14+54=69
3BV/s (best ratio of board difficulty and time)
5.26+4.14+3.13=12.53
RPQ (best ratio of time and 3BV/s)
0.20+5.00+19.37=24.57
Density (hardest board solved in #mines)
30+80+180=290
changes:
1.Sep: 101 exp, I want sub-100 at least.
5.Sep: 26 int!
8.Sep: 98 exp
10. Sep: 23 int. After two consecutive fails at the very last fifty fifty (and timer at 23 both times), it was tremendously comforting to get the chance once more and with it beating my old score by 3 secs.
11. Sep: 2 sec beg. Huge diminishing returns on this mode now, better focus on something else.
17. Sep: 97 exp, should be able to get a sub90 soon.
17. Sep: Holy shit, that's an accurate prediction: 88sec on the first game afterwards.
19. Sep: 85sec exp. This is going surprisingly fast, that was my second sub-90.
11. October: 83 second expert
13. October: Slightly faster 23 - how I made the previous 23 is beyond me.
15. October: 21 sec int - closing in : )
27. October: 82 second expert, should be able to sub80 if I just bothered to play expert a little.
27. October: 78 sec expert : )
27. October: 75 sec expert on a low 3bv board, while watching lost in the background, looks quite bad, but broke sub-100 barrier!
31. October: 20 sec int! Only one to go now.
3.November: 8.2->7.45 RPQ improvement on int
6.November: Last couple of days I've improved my int record by 0.1 seconds three times, now I got a 20.09, it looks good, but damn that's annoying.
17. November: 19 sec int finally - after nine 20s.
17. November: 73 sec expert.
25. November: exp rpq 33.8->28.04, also a 3bv/s record.
27. November: 1 sec beginner on a 3 click board! (also rpq 0.8->0.63)
30. November: 70 sec exp.
7. December: 7.45->7.38->6.40 RPQ improvement in half an hour
10. December: 18 sec intermediate on a very special board, used only 2 flags.
11. December: 17 sec intermediate after experimenting with mixed styles and got an easy board right afterwards.
12. December: 69 sec expert. o/
19. December: 3.36->3.61 3BV/s improvement.
20. December: 66 sec expert. Guess, I'll hit the wall now. All my latest records have been on smaller and smaller boards.
30. December: 30 mine beginner!
3. January: 3.61->3.82 3BV/s int.
4. January: 80 mine int. Actually calculated probabilities at the end there; such a ludicrously improbable board. Mouse moved back and forth to pause The Grudge so the demo got truncated after 200s, but screen is linked.
5. January: Holy shit! 15s intermediate!
29. January: 28.04 ->27.16 RPQ
31. January: 6.40 -> 6.00 RPQ
11. Febuary: 62 sec expert and clone crashed...
20. Febuary: 65 sec exp up.
24. Febuary: 14 sec int!! (with 4.996 RPQ)
26. Febuary: 61 sec exp :D Pushes me into the top 100.
28. Febuary: 60 sec exp (with 25.87 RPQ)
01. March: RPQ 25.87->23.80 and 2.79->2.88 3BV/s in the same game.
14. March: 180 mine 24x30
19. March: 5.08->5.26 3BV/s beg
01. April: 23.52 RPQ exp
10. April: RPQ beginner hereby dedicated to best no skill boards. 0.63->0.2 RPQ. Other insane stats, but these really doesn't count for anything.
14. April: My second 80 mine intermediate, demo not corrupt this time. Done while watching curse of the golden flower, but I did restrain myself from pausing the film this time and so there are some dull segments. But I tell you, that five at 4 mines left was such a relief. An astonishing 15x13 square without openings!
25. May: 2.88->2.92 3BV/s. Broke 12 total :)
27. May: Another 60 sec but this time on a relativly big board boosting my RPQ 23.52->22.16.
11. June: Added some new records i managed to snatch mid revision, EXP RPQ 22.16 ->21.56 and 3BV/s 2.92->2.96->3.13!
11. June: 1 hour later, 60 second -> 54 second expert!! Feels good after last clicking a 58 and a 56 last week.
05. July: 3.82->4.14 3BV/s int!
07. May 2009: 21.56->19.37 RPQ exp. These things always go down in exam times.
