Minesweeper

This isn't brain surgery. Yes, that is how you play. The number signifies how many bombs are touching it.

Wow, I thought that was a given. Even with that I am horrible at it.

yeah well it is very tricky in the begining because you dont know where there are bombs until you can see some of the numbers to devolpe a genral idea of where they are.

I usually just click around until I can find a good big space, usually takes a few times of starting over. But I have never been able to beat this on expert mode without having to at least guess once, maybe it's just my luck, but it seems to me that it will always make you guess, and that is what usually gets me.

I always start at the corners then randomly click a few times in the middle.

Then I start playing it properly.

There are definitely times where you have to guess, but I'd say only about 20% of the times you play Expert is that the case. I can just about always beat Expert if I take my time, but if I'm going for a record, I guess a few times at least. The difference is, after a while, you start to notice patterns, which make the guesses only half guesses in essence.

My chemistry teacher could do it in right around 100 secs. He recognizes the patterns faster than i could think about it.

yeah mr. stark is a very different type of man.
