    Be aware, it's an addiction!
    This is the unofficial world rankings.
    Number 23 is my friend Owen Fox. I'm in the intermediate world record section for 20, I don't think I supplied my other records but I think they are

    B-2
    I-20
    E-72

    Owen paid Lasse a visit when he was in Denmark :p

    EDIT: Actually Owen should be higher, just saw on the video page his Expert record is 57, I'm not sure if he has ever beaten that. Check out the videos, they are crazy!!! full site here

    My personal best is 100 seconds flat on expert and 50 on intermediate though I don't play intermediate much at all...

    After years of trying to figure out how to play the game, and, still no luck.

    Christ lads - that's crazy - well done .. 20 seconds on Intermediate :eek:
    And i thought i was doing well .. sniffle sniffle.. There's a few good sites around alright. Some people have gone to the extent of creating bogus videos on the net (must find you the link).

    Well Lasse is definitely authentic. Owen visited Lasse in his house in Denmark and saw him play. He took photos of his set-up for playing, it looks so uncomfortable, his mouse mat is on his knee and everything! Haha!

    Minesweeper is a great game, haven't played in ages but it's addictive. Keep at it anyway, good for the brain.

    Demeant0r, basically if there is a number "2" square, that means out of the 8 squares touching off it, there are 2 mines, so 6 are safe and 2 are mines.
