We all know minesweeper, the one of the most widespread games for computers. It is included in every major operating system as far as I know and there are probably very few of you who haven’t tried it at least once.
WonI have been on and off with minesweeper from the very beginning and I still find it as a good way to clear my mind in between tasks that I do in my free time.
One time while playing it a thought went through my mind. Minesweeper and businesses have a lot in common! And then I began to write examples which you can read bellow:
– The first strategy (or road) doesn’t have to be the best or the easiest – you can (or must) go around to find the same mines easier from the other side
– It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you don’t have luck, you will probably fail
– The minefield always looks really easy to figure it out when you have already finished the game
– Sometimes you just get stuck and you need to trust your guts or count on plain luck
– If you want to be really good at it, you have to invest a lot of time and study the material – after a while you don’t have to count the brackets when there is a right sequence of numbers, you already know where the mines are
– Fuckit ship (click) it
– Sometimes you just have to admit that you lost, give up and start another game
– If you don’t know the tricks, you are going to be slower (have a bad time) (middle click on a number if the mines are already marked)
– There are days you just can’t win (a bad day for science)
– If you play too fast and without thinking, you will make a bad move
– Sometimes the gut feeling can save you
– You mustn’t be in a hurry
– You have to be focused when you do your kung fu
– Sometimes you have to go waaaay around to come to the other side
– You need to know the reason why you want to play this time (boredom, record breaking, finding new sequences…)
– You will broke at least one mouse
