Solitare is also offensive to POWs that were held in Solitare Confinement.  Ban em all.

BTW.. best time for Expert on minesweeper is 102 seconds  :D  Seems to me that would only be offensive if I believed it made me more capable of sweeping mines in war ravaged nations.

meaning you basically marked a mine every second?  you ARE a hacker!!!  You hacked your system clock to run SLOWER than usual!   ;)  Either that or a) you spent an ungodly amount of time getting good at minesweeper and/or b) you got extremely lucky!!

I was stuck in the middle of the jungle with an M-16, a Shotgun, a 9-mm, an air conditioned cardboard box and a laptop... for 3 months.  The laptop had minesweeper on it.. and I ran out of books after two weeks.

I call "joke" on that.

Its just too ridicules to be true.  Nobody with an ounce of common sense would buy into it.

I think I got a 99 seconds for a minesweeper in Expert   ;) but it has been ages since I last played it -long before getting my inet connection, I still had my old computer with my old HD and win95...Windows 98SE doenst bring it   :( -

the bad part (at least for me) is that my GF (well, my more-or-less GF   ;)) has 92 seconds as her record ...and she reminds it to me all the time   :mad:   :D
