that's really heartbreaking, especially since you spent over 8 minutes on it. I hope you beat it someday.

Well, even with good technique, there are still always a few spots that you will always need to guess on in minesweeper.

Can't you trial and error with the flags on the last two squares...so you don't have to actually commit to any square?

I don't think that works, I guess it only finishes the game if there are only X fields unclicked, where X is the number of mines. The flags are merely to help you not forget where the mines are.

Such situatons suck, ya. Had a few already and I didn't exactly play a lot of minesweeper...
But at least it was clear that you can only guess where the mine is. I once also had a situation where about 4-6 connected fields were untouched and I spent quite a while figuring out if it is solvable or not... It wasn't TT
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I was wondering the same thing. It'd be a good way to get out of this, potentially.

Otherwise, that is a sad situation to be in.

yes, but the game will never end if you don't commit. these sort of 50/50 guess situations happen way too often in expert mode...only way around it is to start winning more :/

Nope, there's nothing you can do in that situation other than flip a coin and hope. It happens relatively frequently at the end of expert games, and is pretty annoying even when you've beaten the game regularly and only take 3-4 minutes rather than 8.

I have lost count of how many times that has happened to me. I know it happened to me on Expert like 3 times in a row and I failed every time when I otherwise would have broken a high score. One time I even ended up with a situation where I had 3 or 4 mines left with a ton of squares unexplored with no way of parsing it so my chances were even less than 50/50 : /

Gosh darn it that happened to me so many times. Usually when that happens and I still have other places to click I usually go for it rather than wasting my time to test my luck in the end T_T

That happens 80% of the time you play on expert. Just try again, sooner or later you'll guess it right.

You obviously haven't played that much minesweeper That's incredibly common.

Usually you have to completely flat out guess on at least one square.

I'm pretty sure Minesweeper is like part of the training regime for psychics. I've found myself in OP's situation plenty of times since I started playing a bit after listening to Day[9]'s podcasts...

i reached (1 - 21 - 89) 5 years ago and stopped playing. i was never good at expert because i never knew you could flag click until i had been playing it for like 5 years, and didnt feel like relearning the game, so i was always purely left click.
