There's something deeply unsettling about those computer generated landscapes. They have visible features from buildings but nothing is actually real, and your brain searches for recognizable shapes and patterns, like roads, but you're just met with this endlessly repeating non-Euclidean geometry. Is this what it's like in Lovecraft stories?

There's a semi trailer around here that's been painted in an anti-smoking message. But they wrote it in a style similar to "don't open dead inside" I wonder if it would become an overused meme because LOL GRAMMAR if I posted it on the internet.

Specifically it says "80% of smokers start before age 18" but reads "80% smokers before 18 of start age"

No, he's right that the image is wrong. He just started from the right side instead of the left. You can't satisfy the 3 without overloading at least one 1.

Either the 1 to the left of the 3 should be a 2, the 1 below it to the right should be a 2, or the 3 should be a 2.

No, if you move the top mine for the right-most 2 the most right you can while still touching the 2 and move the one above the ones to the "no" square it all fits without overloading anything.

Start from scratch and put three mines around the 3 and try to complete the rest of it. You will end up with a 1 with two mines touching it no matter how you place the three touching the 3.

e: if you put a mine in the place marked "no" the 1 directly below it is touching two mines. If you put a mine in the place marked "Hell no" you end up needing to place two mines touching the 1 directly below that (one in "Hell no" and one below and to the right of that 1).

Do it on a piece of paper if you don't believe me.

e2: More minesweeper.



More modern versions of minesweeper will move the mines so that you always "guess" right when there's ambiguity like this.
