Hi all! I'm pretty new here.

I'm wondering on the "games" section how everyone is getting such low scores on Minesweeper? Like the top time for this week is 10, which means a person finished in 10 seconds? I am not anywhere close to this time, am I doing something wrong? Any tips to share?

It is luck
I have a friend in the top 10 of all time, if I remember correctly it was luck and a lot of refreshing

yeah it's mostly luck and practice. imo once you get a hang of the patterns it gets pretty fast, but it took me a while to get decent at it

idk if this'll help you but I always zoom in on the board so it's as big as possible, so it's easier to read the numbers and not miss-click. I use a mouse, and watch tv and play until I get frustrated or get a lucky score lol

1) I mostly don`t place the flags on mines, it takes additional time, but I remember where they should be. Game is finished when you open all free cells, not when you place all flags
2) As told before, a lot of practice. Minesweeper gives popdollars, so you can play it for pd`s and additionally once You`ll get lucky layout
3) Don`t think too much about it, just let the hands play without thinking over

luck + quick math + fast clicks

- click few tiles randomly and see how much of the board is cleared
- if it doesn't clear by a significant amount then restart until you get a board that is around half cleared before you even begin to actually think about your moves
- then it's about looking at the numbers and figuring where the mines are (trickiest part but it gets easier the more you practice)
- sometimes you get lucky with the mine placements/amounts and can finish the game in just a couple more clicks
- it also helps to have a monitor with high refresh rate and a mouse with high dpi, but you shouldn't invest in those just for minesweeper lmaoo

below 10 is possible but you have to be extremely fast and lucky. you can only get a 0 score if you aren't human (it implies you finish the game in max two clicks).

i personally don't bother getting below 20 points because i only play for the HOF prize.
