At last, I have solved Minesweeper at the highest difficulty level. Well, a Linux clone of it, xbomb.
I have come close–two mines to find, and I either slipped up or deduced incorrectly.
This is the first time I’ve solved the whole thing.
The top right corner, as you might guess, proved to be the tricky place. I reached a point where I had to make a guess, and when I guessed correctly, everything unraveled easily.
I feel a bit like I did when I solved the 5×5 Rubik’s Cube. It’s done, and I never have to do that again. 🙂
