What are some top logic/proof/puzzle games for puzzle enthusiasts?

[whozum]

Look at http://www.public.asu.edu/~hyousif/dsss.avi" disappointment I just had

 

[mattmns]

OUCH!

here is an almost 28 I had a second ago, this was actually quite clean with only a few mistakes, still too many though

Not bad at all, the only thing I notice is that you don't look ahead of what your doing. Try to think a couple clicks in advance, and try to predict what will come. For example if I flag and double click, I double click the square that's about to open if its probable that its a 1, this saves a lot of time and also opens up more possibilities.

You're thinking is impressive though.

i blame you gyus for getting me into minesweeper...score 84 on exp today wee and 32 in int

 

[neurocomp2003]

nooo i hit the resest button...ARGGH don't they ask if your sure to reset!

 

[neurocomp2003]

woot 28 on int.

 

[neurocomp2003]

woohoo sorry for posting so many but i just topped another 26 on int.. noiw my wrist hurts...and whozum and mattsn its all your fault =] i'll goback to exp now.

 

[neurocomp2003]

exp 79 sec..now i stop...what a waste of 2 hours =]

 

[whozum]

Minesweeper is extremely addictive. But I have trouble believing that you beat expert in under 100 seconds afer playing for just 2 hours. It took me about a year to get to the 70s

 

[neurocomp2003]

umm I've been playing minesweeper on/off for like 9 years ...heh realized I should have said getting me into minesweeper again...i stopped playign for over a 2yrs.

 

[mattmns]

lol, beating expert in under 100 in 2 hrs with no experience, that would be quite a feat! Great job neurocomp! You guys are getting me back into minesweeper again too, I had started playing m$ hearts instead of minesweeper.

 

[whozum]

Eh, hearts is fun, but its not a pure challenge like minesweeper is. I used to play minesweeper about 3 hours a night when I couldn't sleep, 1am - 4am. That was months ago, its been a while since I've played, but I've reached all my records that I held back then, now I just have to break em.

Im interested in seeing more videos of you guys playing expert.

 

[mattmns]

I will work on some tomorrow morning, I am tired now :zzz:

 

[neurocomp2003]

got a 2mb avi file...i just did now for exp 97s...don't know how to post though.
btw the double click kills me now...i use to be really fast wiht just the left button but i rely so much on the double click now.

 

[mattmns]

If you used camtasia you can make the movie a flash video, and then host it on www.imageshack.us granted that it is less than 1mb. Split the video into a few parts, or lower the quality, I think 10 fps is good.

 

[neurocomp2003]

bah too much thought involved...if you got msn or email i can send it t hough there

 

[mattmns]

lol here are some things you should know about camtasia.

Once you have finished recording, you save it. Then it opens up camtasia and plays the video. You can stop that, or watch it. But what you should do is right click on the little preview thing in the middle and choose add to timeline. Then drag points and right click and cut selection so you have just the video you want. Then choose produce video, swf (macromedia flash), 10 fps, do not encode audio, and everything else is fine.

I almost had a new record a few ago, although it would have not been much better.

What about Rubik's cube? I saw that nobody mentioned it. I suggest it to anyone looking for a good mind-game. There are many technics to discover while solving it and there are even tournaments and a world championship for the fastest cube-solvers! I found it really hard to beat but if you are really into this kind of games, you may enjoy it and even if you solve it easily there are many things to discover,as I have already mentioned (although if you are into these games,you will probably have already solved Rubik's cube!)

I thought it was really cool that I followed your train of thought almost exactly. You did everything that I thought to do right after I thought it. I love how calmly you play, but I think you had a few lucky guesses that helped you out there :)

I'm very intimindated by Rubik's cubes. I think they would rock me, too scared to try.

 

[mattmns]

Yeah I had a few lucky guesses at the bottom of the board, but I usually play without hesitation if I must guess.

Did you see neurocomp's 88 video? He had a 50/50 guess at the very end and got it

For Rubik's cubes, I am with whozum. When I last tried to solve one a few years ago I could not come even close. I would have to mess around with one for quite a while to be able to figure it out.

 

[whozum]

Well 50% of the times he'd get it right, so not really a surprise

AIM it to me (in my profile)

 

[neurocomp2003]

heh how did you liek the video...yeah i guess some times (well you have to with the 50/50) but its more about feeling for the bigger portions.

 

[mattmns]

For me with 50/50 guesses at the end it is: right 90% of the time when I have a slow time, and right 10% of the time when I have a great time going

neurocomp that is a nice video; however, I was expecting to see some crazy no flag action

 

[neurocomp2003]

oh my bad...hehe i miss interpreted flag...i thought you meant the question mark...which i think as flag sory
. yeah no falg would be crazy but i don't do that anymore. I use to when i was younger and had the brain capacity...the brains getting old and cluttered with crap. especially anger towards sports playoffs.
I got 2 more 88sec if you want to see ...trying to make a80s flag

 

[mattmns]

Ahh ok, and sure I would love to see them!

 

[whozum]

http://www.public.asu.edu/~hyousif/flags.avi" some of my flagless. I tried to go all the way but once I start flagging I just can't stop hehe.

 

[neurocomp2003]

woot 170 no flag. damn my brain hurts... going to slow compared to flagging

 

[mattmns]

I had a decent no flagger. I made a few lucky guesses, and at the end decided to guess even more and lost.

[neurocomp2003]

damn that was a nice start thin kyou woulda beat my 170 also prolly woudla been a 70-80s range if you flaged. oh yeah and some of your guesses were awesome.
