@hexx: Thank you, Paulo! Interesting that you're 30. I always thought you guys must be pupils or students according to the time you seem to play nonosweeper each day. I'm 28, and after working 8 hours each day with a PC, I don't really enjoy sitting several hours in front of a PC again in the evenings...
About my 22: I hate guessing. So, I make guesses in the first row, and afterwards play by logic in 99% of the cases. Sometimes, this is fast, sometimes not. But I prefer having a logically solved 19 than a lucky guess 16. And your strategy of starting with all edges is good and fast, but seldomly to be solved without a lot of luck with the mines' positions. So, I need to much games until I find one where all edges are obvious...
About my 2s: In Minesweeper, I tried for several years and got a 2.06 as personal best. For a long time, I played the old MS version where you need a good board AND the luck of the time jump not happening. In Nonosweeper, I tried again, but I need too much time in the start, so even if there is a good mine arrangement, I'm likely to need the 2 seconds. But I don't care a lot. I mostly like nonosweeper due to its challenging idea, and I don't really see that challenge in beginner level. And, finally, I prefer enjoying sun, chick and alcohol right now, not in a few weeks. So, 2 hours daily for 2 weeks are way too long.
