I'm not a huge fan of minesweeper, but I had a roommate who was. An interesting little fact is that the minesweeper highscore table is just a text file (text-search for the highscore username). Find it and change the top entry to something like 6 seconds below your friend/wife's best. Then sit back and watch them go crazy trying to beat it, if they do simply add a new entry 2 seconds lower a day or two later. When asked, shrug and state that you find the game a bit dull but gave it a go since they play it so much, if pressed give cryptic responses like 'What start pattern do you use?'
