- It is not your imagniation. If by chance you happen to step on a mine
- on your first click the mine will be moved to the upper right hand
- corner of the grid. If there is already a mine there it will scan the
- first line for the first open space and put the mine there. The board
- is completely set up when you start a new game, and moving one mine is
- really no big deal. Good luck...

- ps - my score on Expert is about 120 and I can do it in the 130s
- consistantly. In case you care.
