Somewhat shameless and off-topic, but I think I might have the unofficial world record in Minesweeper. I played it obsessively as a teenager on a Windows 95 Packard Bell. I was able to get 17 seconds on the largest board.
I never told anyone about it because I didn't think it was a big deal, but a couple of years ago I decided to look up the current world record and it's 23 seconds.
Unfortunately I can't prove it, but anytime Minesweeper comes up in discussion I'm obligated to annoyingly mention it.
My times were 2/8/20 on an old computer, but my family doesn’t believe me. :) To be fair, it’s most likely I am misremembering the medium and large times.

Well, you should try again and screencast it, so you'd finally have proof.
