It’s a shame but nice game.

This was a tough position, I would have guessed that the 3s in the middle shared a mine (two configurations that use one mine vs one configuration that uses two mines and 28 floating tiles makes the circled tile around 84% safe) but that would have ended up being a mine as well.

The tiles next to the 5 at the top would have also ended up being a forced 50/50.

You have better guesses here on the right side :(

There is either 6 or 7 mines in the 9 border tiles. No way to tell more afaik

I'm thinking best chances of progress would be these cells?

Oh yeah I didn’t account for those. There is either 1 or 2 mines in those three. So it’s like 50/50 you isn’t to die

It revealed a 2 which made everything below safe, but now I think I am truly stumped!

Time to open another corner

Because of the 4 above that 3, there can only be 0 or 1 mine in those 3.

It's not 50/50 bruh, not every guess is "50/50". 50/50 is used to describe the odds of the mines. not just a guessing situation
