Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I've got a huge problem. I've got one mine to go, and the only ones on the board are the ones I'm about to post in a picture. I've never beaten one on hard difficulty before and I think it's a cruel joke to let me get this far and shoot me down :-P



Thanks for any help!

EDIT--
Nevermind. For the record, it was the one in the middle

The hard and medium levels often make you guess, I'm afraid.

Just for future reference, you could work this out.

It is clearly not the one on the left, else the 1 wouldn't be satisfied.

Also, it can't be the one on the right, else there would only be 2 mines around the 3.

Hence, it could only be the middle one

Wait a minute, do you mean the middle one contains a mine or is free of mines?
I figured that the middle one should be the one to click, it should be free of mines. Am I right?

The middle one IS a mine

That's not true, since there was only one free space left, that meant 2 of the 3 squares must be mines. There are several combinations that could have worked. I'll use x's and o's to show each line with the different combinations (x's for mines)

X-3-2 -1
X-x-o-x

X-3-2 -1
X-x-x-o

X-3-2 -1
X-o-x-x

All three of the above satisfy all of the surrounding squares.


The middle one one the one I should have clicked, the one without the mine.

lol the person said 1 mine left, not one free space left

Except only the first one could actually be correct...
the second one
X-3-2 -1
X-x-x-o
has four X's by the number three, so it can't be right.

The third one
X-3-2 -1
X-o-x-x
has two X's by the number one so it can't be right either.

One of your cross is not correct. The one at the corner is not a mine.

The answer is one of these two:

x-o-x-o
o-x-x-o

Hope this helps.
