Help I'm stuck in Minesweeper

Help I'm stuck in Minesweeper.

Here's what I got, red being bombs, blue being safe

There's a free 3, there, work your way up.

In fact, you've got TWO free 3s.

The lowermost 3 requires full contributions from the 4 and 1 on either side of it, meaning that the squares touching the 4 and 1 that don't also touch the 3 are safe.

Sometimes I just guess that 1. Microsoft's Minesweeper is bugged or 2. I don't really know how to properly play it

Because in many plays when I hit a number 1, and the said mine is around it I already exposed, it surprises me with another mine around it. Shouldn't it be a 2 instead??

Honestly...

How did you figure that out?

The rightmost red dot, that has to be there for the 3 diagonally up right, and you can just figure out the rest from there

oh duh

well I blew myself up.

Eventually I did an expert one in 741 seconds. Had to guess like 5 times.

...

I had a phase during last year of highschool where I autistically tried to beat my time record for minesweeper on expert. (or the highest non impossible difficulty iduno) Highest I got was 90 seconds or so.
I wasted my youth I know

where do I go from here?

are you still using fucking xp? thats how win7 version looks like

...

> no smiley face
IT'S
SHIT

how do you solve areas like this again? been ages since I last played

Those are the mines

orange dots = guaranteed mines
purple dots = guaranteed safes
are you even trying

How do you figure that out?

The third grey block from the top can't have a mine, otherwise the second 1 from the top would show 2

Meant for

logic
there are 2 mines (you can see that quite easily)
it can't be the one to the left of 3 because then the "1" above the 3 tells us the mines are to the left of 3, and the square below that mine
but this contradicts the "1" at the very top because there are no mines in that region

well, fuck

oh I see, thanks

yeah but it's got sleek modern sfx

orange dots = guaranteed mines
purple dots = guaranteed safes
The numbers with black outline are the key to it all. All the rest can be derived from the results those three numbers give you.

Just beat solitaire in 166 seconds
Just sayin' . . .

man I'm too tired to be figuring this shit out

thanks again

thanks I'll have to keep my eye out for 3s against a flat wall

I don't even know how to play solitaire
