    Just noticed bug in Minesweeper (yes the game which comes with Windows and has been included "forever").

    "How to calculate percentages".

    Maybe the total game count is actually 201 and the number was floored.

    Nothing that technical .... it's the number of games won divided by quickest time

    Must have typed Me.Label5.Caption / Me.Label3.Caption instead of Me.Label5.Caption / Me.Label4.Caption. Might be fixed in the next service pack ...

    :D

    That is what I meant ;). Maybe the total game count is actually 201 and the resulting number, 12 / 201 * 100 = 5.97 was floored, which would result in 5%.

    In that case, the actual bug here is, that the statistics displays the wrong number in the UI, e.g. the old total game count, without counting the new game that was just played.

    What I wanna know is how do you lose that many minesweeper games, going fora speed record?

    Bah! If you knew me, you would know that this is not my personal stats! :p

    cool, I thought it was a pretty bad ratio for someone who obviously has a pretty good tech savy going by the number of thanks you've got

    Stop before you insult my wife! ;)

    Seriously, minesweeper is not easy to solve on the hardest difficulty setting. Most people cannot do it at all.

    I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse.
