Outward Chain #1
Difficulty D · Section: Chains
Explanation
This small area might be able to have its amount of mines determined, let’s try it out.
Red cells contain one mine
Orange cells contain two mines
Yellow cells contain one mine
Blue cells contain one mine
The purple cells contain 0,1,2 mines.
Purple cannot have 0 mines, as that would end up in the 3 having 4 mines.
Thus purple must have 1 or 2 mines, giving the total area 6 or 7 mines, let’s try minecount in both cases.
After some logic...
(6), Red cells contain three mines
Orange cells contain one mine
Yellow cells contain one mine
Green cells contain one mine
There are 6 mines, so the lime crossed cells are safe
After some logic...
(7), Red cells contain one mine
Orange cells contain two mines
Yellow cells contain one mine
Green cells contain one mine
There are 7 mines, so the red crossed cells are the only place where the last mines go
Seems to be the only outward chain documented, box logic not included
