- red369 1y agoDo you mean the first screenshot of Windows Minesweeper (the left half of ems02.png)? Could you explain how? I haven't played a huge amount of Minesweeper, but I can't see how that can be solved without risk/luck.
- nojs 1y agoOn the left side, the 1 at the bottom means that the third from the bottom must be a mine (since the 2 can't point to the bottom two). The 1 touching that mine then excludes a bunch more, and that's sufficient to solve the rest.
- red369 1y agoThanks - I finally saw it just as you replied. I agree that it looks like that mine layout is the only possible one which satisfies the vertical 1,2,1 boxes. I need to play more :)
- greentec 1y agoThank you. I didn't see that!
