Another example: Cells are labeled A1 through E5, starting with the column
then the row, A through E from left to right and 1 through 5 from top to
bottom. Try A1 at the top left. It is numbered "1". A mine is in an
adjacent cell, but which one? Try A3. It opens a whole bunch of cells,
including A2 and B2. Now, you know that the mine is in cell B1. As you
progress, it gets hairier, with more possibilities, but that's an easy
example of the logic. I'm not very good at the game yet, either, as I only
downloaded it yesterday.

Hey Chris,
the game concept is very simple. It's the logistics of the game that make
it so difficult. Okay, so you clear cells, then see a bunch of other ones.
some of these cells are unknowns. They could be mines, or they might just
be clear. Then there are numbered cells. These are cleared cells that tell
you how many mines surround them. Let's start with a real simple example.
You are in a part of the screen where you have a cell labelled 1. All
around that labelled cell are other numbers, except for one unknown cell.
This unknown cell is a mine, and you need to flag it. Of course, life is
never that easy...
Now try visualizing this. There is a cell labeled 1. Above that labelled
cell is another 1. All around these are numbers except for two blank
cells. One of these is a mine, and the other is not and can't be, since
otherwise the 1 cells would say 2. What you do here is try to figure out,
by reading all the labeled cells that connect with each blank cell, and
determine which is the mine. There are, I'm sure, a whole host of
strategies, but my left brain, the logical part, isn't nearly as developed
as my right brain. In other words, I stink at the game and can't get much
farther than intermediate.
HTH anyway.

Subject: [Audyssey] Minesweeper, can you please try and explain?
Hello everyone, this is Chris here.
Sorry if this subject seems poor, but can you please try and explain a
successful game of Minesweeper?
I have Accessible Minesweeper for the iPhone and Gma Minebuster for the
Pc.
When I click on the first open cell, called the protected cell, I can
clear the cells, no problem!
However, please what on earth do I exactly do to the numbered cells, such
as "1 mine" or "2".
Asking because for some reason even if I click on just one open cell away
from the cell to which I suspect a mine is located, I end up exploding
the mine, thus losing the game!
I think it's the numbered cells I don't understand.
Now I admit I do win on Accessible Minesweeper sometimes on the basic
grid only, but have never won Gma Minebuster on any of the grids!
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks! Before I go, I must admit it's a
good way to waste 5 minutes in a good way isn't it?

Chris
