Can you always win Minesweeper?
Note that it is possible to win always but it will take some time. Minesweeper is a very popular single player strategy game. Minesweeper game is all about finding the patterns and making decisions processing all the elimination chances.
Does Minesweeper help your brain?
Anybody who’s had a Minesweeper session like that will know the feeling of your mouse hand working in concert with a deep, instinctive level of your brain, clearing mines more quickly than your conscious self can register each decision.
What are the chances of winning minesweeper with perfect play?
You would have to guess and have only 50 % chances of winning, since there is no clue as to where the mine is. About implementing an algorithm of solving minesweeper games with perfect play, there are some things you should consider, since some of the mines are not always obvious to find.
Is there an algorithm that can play minesweeper?
EDIT 2: This would also seem to contradict the fact that minesweeper is NP complete, and with probably not so much work one (maybe even I, but probably not) could write an algorithm that can play a perfect game of minesweeper that would have a linearly increasing runtime which would contradict (summery of) the paper here.
What makes a square a good choice for minesweeper?
A square with a low chance of a mine but also a low chance of providing new information might not be as good a choice as a slightly riskier square which nets a large amount of information.
Which is an example of the probability of a mine?
Example: Consider the series #1#1#1# of squares, where # is unknown. Every other unknown must be a mine, so the probability that the first and last unknown square is not independent. The first one is a mine iff the last one is a mine. From here, you can construct problems that emulates 3-SAT or similar.
