As you know, the game comes free with pretty much every OS. I have tried countless times to beat it, in the best case, I come down to 2 squares and end up picking a mine -_-

I have tried so many times, but have never actually completed it ... Have you?

Uh, yes, it's generally not too difficult unless you happen to hit a mine in your first two or three selections

....ummmm....what Legit 'not sure if serious' moment Even on the most difficult settings it is VERY easy once you get past the first couple squares (from there it is just elimination). I would say with confidence that I have beaten it hundreds of times while at work

I always set the mines really low, and the tiles really high. Free wins forever!

Yes, I don't usually play it that frequently however it isn't that difficult. Aside from occasionally hitting the mine in the first few moves, once you get some spaces opened it's all just process of elimination.

I think the better question is "Do you know how to play Mine Sweeper?" I do, it just seems like on most of the very few occasions I talked to somebody about it they didn't know what the little numbers meant. But to answer the question, yes I have.

It's easy. Just look at the number on each square. This tells you how many mines are next to that square. by looking at the numbers on adjacent squares you can start to figure where the mines are.

No, I've never really known how to play that game, other than clicking away randomly at the squares.

Yes I have, on all difficulty settings. For the most part, it's not that difficult a game, although a lot of the game is heavily reliant on luck.

On easy yes. On harder difficulties no, mostly because I don't have to patience for it.

Yeah, it's extremely easy. If you can beat it on easy, then you can beat it in expert. If you have the patience, that is.
