Here’s a cool Minesweeper trick you can do that will result in your winning everytime.
1) Launch Minesweeper
2) Press ‘xyzzy’ (without quotes)
3) Press SHIFT as you mouseover each cell.
4) Look in the top-left corner of your monitor. If you see a white pixel light up as your cursor is over a cell, then it does NOT have a mine; click it! If there are no white pixels, then that cell has a mine; don’t click it!
For a visual on this ‘white pixel,’ click the screenshot on the left.

that one pixel is extremely hard to find. try to switch to a lower resolution (640 x 480) if you can.
