Damn, Hal. 1:15 for rubik's cube, 88 seconds for expert minesweeper, every single hearts game beaten (if I remember correctly). Anything else?

I don't even think I can beat expert, though I have done beginner in under 10.

Keep in mind that's my best times.... my average for expert in minesweeper is about 130 seconds to complete. BTW, it wasn't hearts, it was Freecell, until they added a billion more combinations in XP, although, I have won hearts once by getting all the tricks four games in a row.

Ah right, yea, hearts doesn't have different games... no wonder I couldn't find it in search..

130 seconds is still damn good though.

I'm a minesweeper junkie tho. I have been playing it since Windows 3.11. I play it killing time during commercials while watching TV, while burning CD's, or even while chatting.

Yeah, 3 seconds seems almsot too good to be true, you should post a screen shot of your high scores.

Note: I'm not saying that I don't believe you. I just wanna see it to be even more amazed.

A screenshot of scores is no good, because they are stored in a text file. I remember doing beginner really quick, i'm not sure what my time was though. I just kept doing it over and over until I got a really lucky one where it only took 3 or so clicks.

3 seconds is just dumb luck really and it can prolly be done in less. Just random clicking. To get low times in the expert level, I start out by randomly clicking all over the field as fast as I can to try and get a good clearing, then work it from there.
