How to solve seemingly impossible minesweeper puzzle
Whilst playing minesweeper on this website, I ended up with the following position:.
In this, how is possible to solve the puzzle without guessing? Given that there are 4 squares remaining, and 2 mines remaining, it seems to me that the first mine can be located anywhere on the 2x2 squares left and the second mine will be on either of the two squares of the horizontally opposite rectangle that remains unclicked/unflagged.
Question from user noob anomaly at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Of the 4 available options, bottom right is NOT a mine because to the bottom right is a 1 that is already connected to the mine above it.
The bottom right will become a 4. After that the space left of it wil be a mine.
Now here the problem returns, the top 2 wil always be a 50/50 guess in this scenario. There is no escaping it sadly... i ran in to this problem several times before.
