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.
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.
Sometimes, it do be like that
Some of the better minesweeper clients have a "Prevent guessing" mode. Otherwise you can accept the 50-50
Could you provide me with one of them? I love minesweeper. Would play it religiously, but my frustration at having to play the guessing game. It only made it worse that my win to lose ratio was not based on my own failures but on chance. Also doesn't matter what it's for Windows, Linux, or Android.
My fave, since I play on Android, is Antimine (you can find it in f-droid)
Has a mode where each win, increases the mines by 1, for that sweet sweet sense of pointless progression
Another vote for Antimine. It fills my minesweeper fix
Extreme dork doing an ackshually alert
This is not a case of "Schrödingers cat" because which field is the bomb and which is empty is already determined. The information is present in the memory of the program prior to the observation. Schrödingers cat is a paradox about a quantum superposition where two states exist simultaneously but are collapsed into a definite one by the act of observation. The cats fate is tied to the states of this quantum and therefore prior to observation the cat is both alive and dead, since both states exist simultaneously. It is only after observation that the definite state is determined.
No, you are wrong. The bomb is always where you click. Source: playing the game.
But the state of the cat is also already determined in a real experiment because it is linked to the outside through air and the walls of the box via vibrations and temperature. Probably even through photons coming off the cat hitting the box. I don’t know if there’s any way to fully disentangle it from the experimenter. This theoretical cat superposition only exists as a thought experiment
Right, it's meant to extrapolate the idea of two states existing simultaneously from the very abstract mathematical formulas used to express it into something more comprehensible to show the absurdity of the idea.
I've played minesweeper for a long time without knowing it's rule
Just fence off those two squares forever, and we'll never talk about it again.
That's your own fault for not starting from the upper left corner
If it makes you feel any better, it doesn't matter which one you pick, it'll be wrong either way.
When you ask her what's the matter and she says "Take a fucking guess!"
Do not, my brothers, take a guess.
Hahaha, sexist jokes never get old
If you like minesweeper but hate these random picks, I really recommend the Hexcells series. They're fun puzzle games that can be solved purely with logic. Kind of a cross between minesweeper and sudoku.
Or you can just turn the "no guess" mode on like a regular human.
Is schrodinger's bomb a good joke here? The bomb is not simultaneously on both squares until measured, it is only on one. It doesn't change or err "spin"
That's the joke. It's a 50/50 choice, yet somehow (it feels like) you get it wrong 100% of the time. So the mine is in superposition being both present and not present under a tile. When you click the tile, you collapse the wave from and the mine appears in the tile you clicked.
