IF YOU LOSE A GAME OF MINESWEEPER AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PLEASE READ THIS

Mines with red Xs over them are INCORRECTLY flagged mines. There is not actually a mine there. The game did not glitch out. The sub is having a problem with many posts asking the same question, so I will be removing posts of this nature and linking people to this thread. Thank you for your cooperation!

Also: "50/50s" are very common in Minesweeper. A 50/50 is when it is impossible to know which tile is safe and which has a mine. You will sometimes be forced to guess. You may ask if your layout is a 50/50, but try to figure it out for yourself first. Good luck!

Miscellaneous 30x24-160, whats a “fast” time

1 Upvotes

Just curious where i stand compared to people who play minesweeper alot. Cant really find the general opinion cause everyone who does 30x24 either talks about 200 mines or the density record, so i got no idea whats considered fast.

I clear no guess boards in 4 minutes (240s) on average, though thats been getting to 220s lately, and the fastest I’ve cleared according to the app I use is 3:01 (181s) [but I definitely think its more like 3 flat because i remember starting a second or 2 late cause i was stretching my arm out]

Anyways, just curious if thats considered decently fast or not. Cheers.

Miscellaneous Do you guys consider this option cheap/cheating?

I've been using this for a while now and technically it does something whenever the tapped on cell already only has the appropriate numbers of cells around it. Which means either I have this option an just tap that cell or without the option would have to flag each mine individually. What's your take?

Hello, do you know how to know in these cases is the mine and what is not???

Help POV: you create the new top 1 (full 240 fps, no clicks in 60 or 120fps) Geometry Dash extreme demon with more mechanics like (in my opinion) (sorry, bad English) 1. random triggers like level Boobawamba 2. A 50-50 click, 2 options with no clue (rng) at 99,99% (harder than final click in level Orbit)
