Single Joined Box Pattern diagram

Explanation

Found By: Rory

The blue cells contain one mine

The green cells contain one mine

The box contains 2 mines

The yellow cells contain one mine

So the last mine goes into the red cells.

The red cells contain one mine

The pink cells contain one mine

The box contains 2 mines

The purple cells contain one mine,

So the brown cells contain one mine

The 3 sees the brown cells, so the lime crossed cell is safe

^The pattern can be applied both ways

The blue cells contain a mine

The green cells contain two mines

The box contains 3 mines

The yellow cells contain one of the 3 mines

The red cells therefore contain two mines

The pink cells contain one mine

The box contains 3 mines

The purple cells contain one of the 3 mines

The brown cells therefore contain two mines

The lime cells contain one mine

The gray cells contain one mine

The 3 sees the gray cells, so the red crossed cell is a mine, resulting in safe cells.
