beginner: 23 seconds.

Anyone did better? It would be very possible, since I don't play it intuitively enough. To get a time of 15 or maybe even 10 seconds average, you will need pattern recognition abilities.

ps: this is not a hobby of mine :)

Well on a custom field I got 1 second once =D

Don't know my time for beginner, haven't played it in forever, too old school for me =P

once i decided to spend my afternoon trying to lower my time.

after sitting at my computer for quite some time, out of pure luck I scored about 7s on beginner. that was pretty much a fluke. on average i could get around 25s on that level.

Beginner 10secs.

Screenshot to prove im not talking crap:

Yes, but it is your average time which is interesting, cause the mines can reveal themselves in two clicks when lucky.

Only the skill part is interesting.

10 - 15 average

Begineer- 17 seconds
Intermediate- 107
Expert- Never beaten it, though I've tried and tried :(

beginner - 9
intermediate/advance - its kicking my ass right now... but i'm figuring out the mine placement algorithm

I can't remember my times its been awhile but...

I had a friend that played so much it was sick. He got to where he could do intermediate in something ridiculus. I think it was thirty something seconds. He was like rain man...he would start playing and you couldn't help but watch him with a mixture of awe and pity.

Begginer: 4 seconds
Intermediate: 35 seconds
Expert: 125 seconds

I developed an addiction to that damn game. Now I am addicted to online pool.

I have done it in 0 sec thanks to a cheat ;) :D

fastest time on beginner is three secs. like ten on intermediate, an on advanced, I think twetny. It sounds alittel out there, but I used to play it all the time.

Eventually they will create a cheat that claims negative seconds. Soon people will be saying "I beat it in -12 secs!" Of course this will violate the laws of physics. ;)

that cheat wouild not be hard to make... heck just make it count time in negatives in that case a score of -999 sec in beginer is GOOD.

I finished the beginner in 6 seconds, the intermediate in 40 and the expert in 95. I think it's not too bad at all

take a walk,read a book,talk to a friend.

..disarm some mines in Vietnam :D

begginer: 6secs, only played that level.

6secs some times, not only once :D

Back when I was young and stupid, I thought I was good doing Beginner in 7, Intermediate in 47, and Expert in 137 (the stupid thing is that I can still remember the times!). Thank God I didn't waste more time on it than I did.
These people are nuts.

I'm not as fast as some of you: 11 seconds on beginner about 5 years ago. In the 400s for expert. I never really did much with intermediate.

btw, even being a good record, i must say that i only played mines during 2 days (maybe 3). and only some minutes per day.

i have a life :)

I was lucky to get 9 seconds in beginner

Never beat the expert, and forgot the time for intermediate

6 seconds Beginner
38 Intermediate
350 approx Expert
I hate Expert !!!! Especially when your stuck in a position that provides absolutely no information about the location of the mines in cluster. Hate it when its up to chance.
