Anyone else addicted to Minesweeper? I've been playing it far more than i should each afternoon. List your best times per difficulty. I average about 25 seconds for beginner, 185 seconds on intermediate, and scored my best time of 487 on expert last night. And thats without any cheats, so i'm content. Anyone have any good tips?

I have been known to play when during computer networking (on lab days the teacher doesn't care what you do on our mini-network, so long as you pretend to do something). I usually play easy, and I think my best is 30 seconds
I am more of a bejeweled person myself. My friend gave me a copy of bejuled2 for the palm right before a 2 week trip to Europe (and associated plane/train/car/etc rides) so I got about 4 days of time on it. I started by finishing the puzzle mode, then moved on to timed (1,331,850, the game high score was like 30,000) then onto endless mode (got all 7 gems, a total of 3,270,050 points, at level 64) and finally on to normal mode, but then I didn't have much time to prefect it so my score is only like 42,000)

I can't remember any of my best times. (To get an awesome time for beginner, you just have to spend half an hour on frantic random clicking, anyway.)
Minesweeper sometimes annoys me on expert when it's impossible at the end - at least, impossible with pure logic. If it weren't for that I'd be addicted.

I've just played it now as my previous best scores were on the computer in the room at work where we keep the environmental test chamber - nothing to do whilst waiting for the chamber to reach -20°C
Beginner: 16 seconds Intermediate: 59 seconds Expert: (goes down to thermal chamber to check) 210 seconds with a very lucky grid as I recall
The best tip I found is to click both left and right mouse buttons together on a square. For example, clicking the top right hand '1' in the left hand image exposes the '3' and the '2' simultaneously, provided all the mines have been marked around that area. Otherwise, it flashes the squares remaining. That saves LOTS of time!
I had to stop playing minesweeper after a while as I got RSI in my hand!
