Interesting position with a safe square - can you find it?
Interesting position with a safe square - can you find it?
This was a rare moment where I actually had to think to find it. Can you?
Screenshot is from a solver I found online because I didn't think to take a screenshot until I already opened the safe square.
It's interesting to see two answers having directly opposing answers.
But I do believe >!the 4/2/1 corner must be a bomb, the one above must be safe!<
That is correct! The spoiler markdown doesn't work on my end (browser on desktop) but the others didn't even bother, so no matter!
Top blank square. The two 1’s at the bottom prove it. Bottom 1 has two unknowns. Which means one of them is the bomb. Which means the bottom mystery square can’t be the bomb which means the top square is the bomb.
The corner of 1,2,4 on the left must be a bomb.
In the bottom gap, either side of the 1 being a bomb causes the 1,2,4 corner to be a bomb.
If the bomb is right of the 1, then the square above and below the 4 must be bombs because of the 2.
If the bomb is to the left of 1, the 2,2,3,3 forces one of the squares below the second 2 to be a bomb, which means the square below the 4 must be safe, so the square above 4 must be a bomb.
If the bomb is to the left of the one, there could still be another bomb directly next to it, no?
