    Say what you will about people who play Minesweeper but it’s a fucking rush when you end up in a situation like this.

    You have no choice but to take a deep breath and just pick one.

    There’s no real consequences to losing but it sure as hell feels like it’s life and death.

      There’s an iOS app called Mineswifter which only presents solvable games and never allows you to play a board with an ambiguous situation like this. I’ve played the daily challenge on it for years, it’s great.

      Whenever I got to this situation I get it over immediately … no sense in completing the rest of the board if I only get to have a 50/50 chance on one play.

      The biggest rush is in successfully completing two or more of these situations in one board.

      Yeah, but screw the corner spots. I always click all four corners and like three other random spots before I get into a game.
