Minesweeper! Argh!

Now I know why I quit playing this game.

Tell me, is there any way to calculate which of those two cells contain that last mine? Though the chances should be 50/50 that I select the correct one, the game will always explode.

Argh!

edit: yup.

It's the redwire.

Oh, no way to tell, it's 50/50. Guess you just have to ask yourself you feeling lucky punk.

Edit: obviously not lucky then.

I don't suppose you have a photograph of your face at that exact moment do you?

haha Minesweeper drives me insane although I do like the sound effects in the Vista version (can't remember hearing them in XP)

Pah. Windows 7 minesweeper > Yours.

I bet Derren Brown would have known which one it was.

The bottom one is a mine

Duh... too late

I was expecting it, and also in the middle of a call, so it wouldn't have been that exciting.

652 seconds... 999 seconds... must have been agonizing

Anyways, you should check out:

Man, you suck at Minesweeper.

He probably spent half of that time wondering about the last one...hardly that sucky.

Windows 7 Minesweeper even works with the 360 Controller, vibrations and everything

Ok - I am going to stop. I have been playing for iike 2 minutes and it's already annoying me.

Interestingly though, the several attempts I did have the very middle square (W7 version) was always a safe one, and revealed like 50 percent or more of remaining squares.

The Windows 7 version looks nice sure, but what sort of framerate do you get? I bet you need a new DX 11 card too ;-)
