Thread 11882146

reeeeeeee

Time to do the math on what's the least risky guess. Bottom right corner three; one of the two above that 1 is very likely a mine.

click the tile below the lower red 3

>>11882148
lol. Still only 17% chance of losing for clicking any them.

>>11882149
Show your work, Anon.

>>11882158 click the tile above the 3, its clear since the 4s are already covered

>>11882161
Bro, I didn't stop there. I just took a screenshot of what happened.

>>11882146 (OP)
Look at the 1 on the second bottom row and the 2 above it. One of the cells adjacent to the 1 contains a mine and one doesn't. That means the cell NE of the 2 must contain a mine and the one directly above that doesn't.

>>11882165
Aye. The way it was spread out led to me not applying that technique.

>>11882158
The 1's and 2's around that bottom-right 3 show that the tile above the 3 is a mine 100%. if you look at the 2 bordering that newly discovered mine and at the two tiles left around it, that tile I mentioned in my post almost certainly could NOT be a mine.

>>11882170
At that point it's 50/50. After marking the mentioned mine, you would clear the tile above it and use the new number to proceed.

>>11882163
how are we supposed to know that

>>11882179
Because it directly replied to two people suggesting what to do with the result of doing something, fuckface. And a bunch of work had already been done using deduction that cross-references multiple numbers. Fucking obviously the player that did that isn't going to miss a number being satisfied by itself.

>>11882186
your wisdom path attainment is too low for us to trust your deductions. your ass is courting death

I will make more minesweeper threads so you can keep posting this.

I just did a 99 mine game. 524 seconds. I fucking suck these days. Used to blaze through that shit like lightening

>>11882165
This is the answer

>>11882146 (OP)
>>11882158
Just embarrassing

>>11882241
Put me on the B List, because I never understood how to play that

>>11882241

Basically each number means "Among the eight spots surrounding this square, X of them are mines". That's it.

>>11882702
To expand on >>11883038, It's a lot like picross. The first move might be a guess but most of them after that one will have numerical hints telling you what to hit next. For example, in >>11882158 the third square from the left in the top row has a bomb as does the middle square of the third row.

>>11882146 (OP)
That's not reeeeee. This is reeeeee.

>>11883561
Just wait until you're down to 1 or 0 mines remaining, silly.

>>11883574
assuming it doesn't happen twice

>>11882146 (OP)
>forced into a guess at the very start
Just click randomly in an open area hoping to clear a huge area and start over if you fail

>>11883598
The lesson of the thread was that this start didn't force a guess. You just need to apply the same thinking that you'll end up doing later anyway. You just need to keep looking for that one thing that lets you reveal some more information. Some games may make you do it more times over top of each other to make real progress, but it's all the same thing. Keep going and it won't be long before your small start reveals a big open area to go ham on.

the only expert game i ever won, i had to successfully guess 3 or 4 50/50 situations, on top of some other probability deductions. and yes, they were legit 50/50s, not the brainlet type where they're missing something.
