Well, I’m one step closer, 9921 and 75 seconds! Almost there! So close! I went through the deck exactly twice (lousy last card being the two of hearts, screwing up my time score.) ---

Damn. There’s lots of people that get under 100 seconds in Minesweeper Expert. I don’t know how that’s even possible. If I could actually SEE the mines, I don’t know if I could clear all the other tiles in under 100 seconds. ---

They are obviously cheaters, **Nangleator**. Whereas you and I, the ones you strive to be the best using only our brains and a mouse, are the true champions. 🙂 (Me, jealous? Of course not, why would you say that?) ---

Wow. When I play Solitaire I turn off the scoring and the timer. I’m that bad. It probably takes me a good 5 minutes to finish a game. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/windows-solitare-you-are-my-bitch/159336.md?page=1)
