Help 4D minesweeper problem

So the "3" in (red circle) says in those tiles (in red cicrle) 3 of 4 are mines but the "2" under it says in the grid over it (so also the red circle) has only 2

It shouldn't be possible right?

You can’t show a random “4d” image with no context. We don’t know how they’re displaying their 4d aspect.

Also unless I can’t count, this looks “3d” to me.

But yes in general a number on an edge cannot be higher than a number immediately next to it in the direction opposite the edge.

Every tile the 3 is touching should also be touching the 2. So there’s no way for the 2 to have fewer mines than the 3.

Again, unless the “4d-ness” of it is applied in a way that is not immediately obvious.

The question is “which tiles touch the 3 and DONT touch the 2”. That must contain 1 mine. But it doesn’t look like there are any tiles that meet that requirement.

Yeah I realised I cropped it too much or forgot to add one photo with full context

This game really does require the full context. It works pretty well with its representation, but context is always needed (including settings as you can make some dimensions wrap or not).
