My only advise is to say the top one likely has the mine, based just on probability of that row only having one mine vs the bottom having three.

The odds of any 1 tile having the bomb is equal for all tiles.

That being said, the bottom one looks sus

I know but that's literally the only thing I can think of other than a coin flip lol

I wonder if real mine sweepers ever have this exact same conversation?

Yeah except there is a row with 4, some rows with 3, and some rows with zero as well. This sounds like the logic you use when you look at the roulette wheel history and say "ah but it's been red 4 times in a row!"

This comes down to nothing but a purely random guess. Just gotta coin flip it.
