Default Minesweeper Challenge!!!

I hereby decree a Minesweeper challenge.. I accept any and all comers willing to challenge me.

Here are my best times.. feel free if you can beat them.

Beginner - 7 secs
Intermediate - 37 secs
Expert - 135 secs

I have had a 6 sec beginner run, but i cant prove that as it was on a different computer... So these are my high scores as of now......can anyone beat them?

Yeah, i think 6 secs is the minimum time you can achieve.. ive done it twice before... and had near perfect runs, to get below that would be amazing.

I remember trying to do an entire expert game just clicking the ones that weren't obviously mines just to get a fast time.
I figured some quick elimination, and some luck would get me through eventually.
After about 200 tries I gave up that idea... I think your expert time is an extrordinary lucky streak.
If it is, Congrats. If not, You should be crowned grandmaster minesweeper.

i wouldnt say my expert is extremly lucky... ive had several in the 140's... and had a couple i probably coulda finished in 120's but got down to a guess with only a few left and missed... i think the lucky one is probably intermediate.. i dont play intermediate a lot, but it takes both luck and skill...you need a good setup and then go fast.

Pfft, childrens' games, you guys are playing. I dare you to try miniputt...unfortunately you can't really beat me in that game because I already get 18s.

I will try this foolish minesweeper of yours, however.
