I expect you to die, Mr Bond

Guess.

Minesweeper is notorious for having some luck to it. The key is trying to do the 100% luck parts as early as possible so you don't waste time doing the rest of the board only to fail later.

A metaphor for life. Do everything right, die anyway.

Time to find out your luck stat for the day

1. Guess

2. Say "dammit"

Well don't leave us hanging! Did you die?

Congratulate yourself for the win.

Play a better version, this one is supposed to not have this problem https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/mines.html or this one https://pwmarcz.pl/kaboom/ which will punish you for guessing if there's only one valid option, it places the mines as you play.

50/50 chance, take a wild guess.

This is the thrill of the sweep right here you'll never feel a rush like this again

Use a better minesweeper algorithm? Or flip a coin.

Remove a flag from one of the mines and click it

I go by what I think would look better. Top one being a mine would look better imo, so I would flag it and click the one below it.

You get a fair-play Minesweeper-like, such as Hexcells Infinite, which can always be beaten without any guessing.

Cry

Now is time for a Hail Marry.

Use the force

The minefield has been cleared. You fence of the remaining space with appropriate warning signs. Once the marked sights are disarmed the area can again be made available to the public and the nation can begin to heal.

Memory dump to save your state then reload after you pick the wrong one.

I dunno, I just get a feeling...

It’s the top one
