i am in a fan club for minesweeper lol. we all sit on vent and discuss our games every week.
if 3 boxes in a straight line;
1X1 X is NEVER a bomb
2X2 X is ALWAYS a bomb
2X1 X is ALWAYS a bomb
when technically they might or might not be according to the game rules, the game always has these conclusions.
to speed up, click both mouse buttons at once to help clear boxes near a flagged box. the world record for expert is 44 seconds. ive seen a video of that guy, he flagged maybe only half the bombs in the entire game, and double click cleared all the others.
