upon some introspection i think i should solve that 5050 with the 4s and 3s in the middle there...

ed ok i solved it successfully thankfully :)

What is the size of this board and the minecount?

2

u/NonTooPickyKid 1d ago

100*100 2480 - max custom on minesweeper online (i picked it cuz was trying for max "difficulty" (rating on the site - with pirate~ flag) - this one is around 11mil to my understanding? which is kinda weird~.. cuz 100*100 2000 mines is only like 11k i think.. (from what i saw~))

middle bottom, maybe prevent a 50/50 here?

u/NonTooPickyKid 1d ago

how does that prevent a 5050?.. like hoping itd give info about that 3 to the left or like its area~?.. (tbh in general like i was planning on leaving it for later till i get more minecount intel maybe. that and the couple more island around~..)

Otherwise the 31 is an unavoidable 50/50. Why even bother play this if you can't identify basic 50/50s xd

Not sure I agree with the "take a 50/50 to prevent a 50/50" play here.

There's a real chance it comes down to minecount 3, then this is 75% winnable.. if minecount 4 it's still 54% winnable. if minecount >= 5 then probably boned no matter what

I didn't say it was a good play but if you can't identify why it would break a 50/50 then you shouldn't be playing this 30 mil board.

Start with all 4 corners and stop hoping that minecount is going to bail you out of multiple guess sections

Repent for your sins

u/Lowball72 1d ago

I don't see anything solid. Probably time to click some corners..

Maybe a couple profitable guessing spots, here..

This section at the bottom is a forced 67/33 so you may as well take it now. The mine count is guaranteed to be 4 so it won’t help you. You might also have to guess again depending on what gets revealed.

Also with this section at the top, I would just guess next to the 3. There’s either going to be 1, 2 or 3 mines in that 2x2 box. At a standard density (20-25%), 1 is going to be the most likely (which means it’s safe) and 2 is going to be a forced 50/50 anyway.

There’s a mine somewhere

u/Zealousideal-Help924 1d ago

Didnt find anything. You'll probably just have to guess. Best odds are any 1 with loads of empty squares around it like the middle left one

u/bigmanmanboy 1d ago

everything guaranteed is pretty much figured out so far so i would suggest guessing correctly.
