  If it makes you feel any better, it doesn’t matter which one you pick, it’ll be wrong either way.

  Sometimes, it do be like that

  Some of the better minesweeper clients have a “Prevent guessing” mode. Otherwise you can accept the 50-50

  When you ask her what’s the matter and she says “Take a fucking guess!”

  Do not, my brothers, take a guess.

  I know everybody needs to know this so minesweeper.online has No Guessing Mode… and also a lot more than that!

  I wish I understood Minesweeper better. If anyone feels inclined to explain this situation with how the rules work, id greatly appreciate it.

    The goal of the game is to click on all of the squares without a bomb, without clicking on any square with a bomb. Each number represents exactly how many bombs are touching that square, including diagonally. When you logically narrow down which square has a bomb in it (E.g. because there is only one unclicked square touching a square with a 1), you put a flag on it, representing that there’s a bomb underneath it. In this image, there is a square with a number 4. This square is touching three flagged squares, representing three bombs, and two squares that may or may not have a bomb. We know that there must be one more bomb touching the 4, but it’s impossible to narrow down which square has the bomb. So you have to click on one of the squares, and there’s a 50/50 chance that either you guess right, or you step on a bomb and lose the game. It’s a fairly common scenario in an expert level game.

  I choose the corner. They’re almost always in the corner.

  Just fence off those two squares forever, and we'll never talk about it again.
