Minesweeper thread

On the top line the leftmost one doesn't have a mine. Just think.

I am doing challenge runs which is no flags and a corner start

You play the versions that guarantees no random selection

More bullshit

Thanks man, you’ve improved the quality of my toilet time

It's a fair minesweeper. If there is genuinely no way to tell, you are free to choose the next non-mine field (adjacent to the already revealed fields).

Eat shit.

I don't think there's a safe answer. You have to take your chances.

Go with the highest win% chances when you hit these impasses. See how there are 2's that have 6 blocks touching them? Statistically your chance to hit a mine there is 2 out of 6, or 33%. Just be lucky bro.

Show the full selection

> Deductions may require you to think about the total number of mines

>still a 50/50 on where the mine is
EAT SHIT.

you could crop that picture even more faggot you'll not be able to hide the fact that you haven't done the tiles on the left. The algorythm prevents all 50/50, if it doesn't work from this side you have to start playing on the other side

>I can't win at a children's game
>EAT SHIT

If youre at the point where youre doing challenge runs, you should know how RNG affects minesweeper.

I can win easily. You claim there's not chance. There fucking is. Eat fucking shit.

Post more cropped images, faggot

What a sad little man.

>This is pure luck
Yes, sometimes you get stuck in a position where you have to guess. It's an annoying aspect of the game.
I wish there was an answer. Like a special item that lets you scan a box for mines without clicking it. But it has a 1 minute cooldown or something so it's only useful in guess conditions.

Think harder.
I have run into similar situations on that Minesweeper game as well and thinking a little more showed a way to resolve it.
This one is (most likely) on you. Genuinely.

just give me the seed so I see if it's real 50/50 kiddo

>This is pure luck
>wordle is skill
pick one

You can pretty obviously see from the indicators that it's 50/50, kiddo.

You can beat 100% of wordles. You can just clear 15 letters in the first 3 words. Probably 20 in 4 if you're smarter than me.

The problem with all these fair Minesweepers is that they're really easy. Sure, 50/50s don't take any skill, but there's plenty of situations where you need to think about "what is the safest possible tile I can click" which are actually quite interesting to consider.
It's why I like DemonCrawl, it doesn't do the "every field is guaranteed to be solvable" thing (except on Easy mode) but gives you options to avoid and mitigate mistakes. Also it's got roguelike synergy nonsense which I think is cool

>knows there are many words that end in ound
>decides to guess randomly instead of gaining more information
Skill issue

Give seed and your first field and we will tell you, if it's 50:50.

Never start in a corner
You wanna start maybe 3 or 4 rows and columns inwards so you have some options

Never in my life have I seen something so pathetic as someone pretending a free kids game is cheating them so they get to feel a victim.

false, it could look like this and it would be solvable

Don't even need to see the number of mines to make that version solvable

I've done more than 500 games on this and never ran into a single 50/50. Solve this if you're that good

Well I played it and it’s not as good as it sounds

This entire segment can only be solved by guessing, but because there are still guaranteed safe tiles somewhere else on the board it forced a loss.

for me it gets boring after the third time I lose to this kind of bullshit. it's just nice to know you're not putting thoughts into something that leads to 50/50

That was a fun one, that right half had me sweating a bit

Not him, what do I win?

You are free to choose in that situation.
Ask for a hint to make sure you are allowed to.

That's why you always put Torch as your favoured item and manage your mana carefully

One if them is in b5 but the top is unsolvable (I think)

>One if them is in b5
wat
it could look like this

Can you use flags on mobile somehow I'm not seeing? Made a start but it's too much without flags

Nah your logic is wrong. Corners have the highest chance of creating ambiguous scenarios, followed by sides, thus using your 100% safe starting move in a corner is ideal.

Try not being a zoomer

Is a minesweeper really worth 12 bucks ?

Is that second flag in on the top line definitely a mine? Am I seeing this wrong?

huh?
I'm telling you the solution could be like that pic I posted, which would mean no mine in b5
it's 50/50

I'm 31 and walking my dogs

yea no kidding, what is this thread lmao

No I'm not talking about that, I mean has the op solved it wrong?

oh I see
yes, there can only be 1 mine in b5 and c5 (because of the bottom 4) so the extra mine for the top 4 has to be on top

I have like 300 hours in it so for me it is, it has an honestly insane amount of content for a Minesweeper game. But pirate it if you want, I'm not here to shill
