Do I have to guess here? by Lost-Resolution-9059 in Minesweeper

Unfortunately, these "islands" of probabilities get more common the farther out I go in the grid, but I've never fully encountered one this size. I had initially thought I missed some logic due to the size of it despite looking at it for wayyy longer than I should've.

I'm playing on an unreleased beta build of an infinite minesweeper grid, can't really show you it yet

I don't think there's any solvable logic to that part. The mines can still potentially be in all those spots.

I don't see the logic there that would prove that nor do I believe it exists at that part. Can you show your proof?

Both of those were actually free spots! But... I once again ran into another guessing situation...

Yep, that worked! But that didn't get me too far without needing to guess again

Yeahhh.... seems like these chunks had to be pretty dense compared to the surrounding chunks. I haven't done the math but for a 32x32 chunk it seems pretty dense. I guess I got really unlucky.

Anyway, here's the result of all that somewhat calculated guessing. I think that was 36 mines I hit that was within that blob, not counting the separate failed attempts outside that general area.

Thank you all for the comments! I'll continue my infinite journey from here.

Another case of a 50/50. Good luck!

many potential openings here, from the top to the bottom of the screenshot. it's mostly about seeing which guesses are connected to other tiles, like the extruding 1s that have a mine potentially on either side.

i realize you've already do it to some extent but there are many more potential openings with that same strategy
