Dammit Minesweeper

[chuckleslovakian]

hmm, it is much better
but also a little complicated, give me a minute

That's just a gross break top right there.

There's still no way to be absolutely sure of any one square. I'd probably just keep clicking down the right edge hoping to get enough non-bomb spaces to deduct other spaces.

BTW it's pretty common in expert Minesweeper to run into 50/50 spots where it's nothing but dumb luck.

that can actually be bad here

I'm fairly sure that at worst, since there's only 6 mines left on the board, I have a very high chance even if I don't "solve" the position of not blowing up if I click somewhere on the right edge

[LuckayLuck]

I feel that it's a solvable puzzle though

Just saying what I'd do, not whether it's right.

I play for speed, so when I get into a jam like this, I usually click and pray.

I click the square to the right of the upper 5. If it is a not a bomb, the rest of the puzzle is almost certainly solvable. I see no other square like that.

I think I've seen into chuckle's head more this thread than in all his WW games put together [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[LuckayLuck]

is it really not solvable?

blahhh
this is one possible formation of mines, obv, I don't think there are very many possible formations

[antidan444]

Too many questionmarks around the top 3
