Some time ago Google Blogoscoped had a post about what I'll call an "Advantage one can obtain in minesweeper". Well, after over 1/2 a decade of my wife totally owning that game (she can beat Expert in around 160 seconds, and I think her record is in the 130s) I thought I might finally have a chance! Well come to find out, it is nowhere near as useful as you might think in increasing your speed, but I decided to be resourceful and make it work! So, within a couple days, I wrote a program to utilize this cheat and definitely rob my wife of the gold! (She calls it cheating, I call it being resourceful)

This is something that I sent to Me Lenssen a few days after he posted about the cheat. Due to the danger in hosting an EXE he did not want to post it, and I was unable to put it on my servers because they are all business related. Well, thank you google for google pages!

PS, please send me any comments, or even just let me know if you used it. my E-mail address is in the help box of the program (question mark in the lower right had corner)

I resent that! :o) I'm no cheater! Now, if I was to finish a game in 90 seconds using this tool, and pass it off as done manually, then that would be cheating!
