Any other Minesweeper addicts?

Does anyone else here spend hours playing minesweeper?

I've been really bored lately and my scores have gotten really low. To the point where I don't think I can beat myself anymore.

Here are my best scores right now:
beginner: 8 seconds
intermediate: 57 seconds
expert: 217 seconds

What are your best scores?

Um, I can get myself killed in 5 seconds or less. I think 1 second was the shortest I lasted. Does that count?

am i the only one in the world that has never understood how to play minesweeper....

i just click on blocks until it tells me game over, not really knowing what i am doing

I thought that was how you were supposed to play!

The numbers tell you how many bombs are within the immediate vicinity of that square (the 6 squares surrounding it). You right click on a square where you think there is a bomb. Once you open all of the squares with no bombs in it, you win!
