Brian Sets A World Record

Our Internet was down last night and I had time to realize how worthless computers are without the Internet. I had to play minesweeper for 4 hours. The good news is that I set a new world record on beginner at 4 seconds. It was pretty sweet. Below is an AAR (after action report) of my success.
Click 1: Hit the 5, shows nothing but I know that throwing a 5 spot is rock solid. I start to think this could be the big game I've been waiting for, but then I remember that there is no time to think, only to click.

Click 2: I know the 5 is taking up most of the mines. So I go top right to open the map, it works. This could be the big break I was waiting for.

Click 3: Once I see click 2 I immediately know that there is only 1 mine unaccounted for. It's go time. Third click is magnificent. Perfectly placed and reveals exactly what I wanted to see.

Click 4: I know that all the mines are accounted for and I can click anywhere in the upper left and win. Because that what I am, a winner.

Go head, try to beat me. I'd be surprised if you could get a game in under 10 seconds. Your weak and pathetic.

I wanted to say you got lucky, but that is just petty jealousy. The sub 7 second game has been alluding me for years. I haven't even been able to crack 8 on my new laptop.

Well done sir.
