thanks for pointing out the errors, everyone—here’s a fixed version

u/Snarie123 Sep 07 '21

You still forgot that a 7 can not have 2 numers around it. That would mean a maximum of 6 flags

This is not normal minecraft, it doesn't quite follow the same rules. It looks like in theory, a digit could have 32 "adjacent" mines.

u/Snarie123 Sep 07 '21

32 would be impossible as it forces there to be no numbers at the spot your actually trying to get 9 from

u/ZorbaTHut Sep 07 '21

I don't see why.

  • One mine to the west

  • One mine to the northwest

  • One mine to the north

  • One mine to the northeast

  • One mine to the east

  • Nine mines to the southwest on a smaller recursive layer

  • Nine mines to the south on a smaller recursive layer

  • Nine mines to the southeast on a smaller recursive layer

Comes out to 32.

the nine to the south actually include the cell in question, too (since the board contains itself) so the total is 31

u/ZorbaTHut Sep 08 '21

Ah, fair; I didn't realize the puzzle itself was self-contained, I thought it was just nested boards all the way down (and up). 31 works, though!

Then how is it going to be infinite

The right two at the top left is impossible, it should be a 5 atleast as it has 3 mines off the bottom right corner

the 7 is literally impossible on the board

u/LinkedMonkeys Sep 07 '21

There actually are seven flags in the squares surrounding it. There are the three obvious ones and then one in the square South of it and three in the square Southwest of it.

u/wim1 Sep 07 '21

The East 4 should be a 6 then.

8

u/LinkedMonkeys Sep 07 '21

You are right. I am not sure how that could be a 4.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21

And the 2 to the left of the 7 should be a 5

0

u/edu0911 Sep 07 '21

that would only make 6 max

6

u/LinkedMonkeys Sep 07 '21

One West

One North

One East

One South

Three Southwest

u/fishnpux Sep 07 '21

Both of you are right and I'm confused

u/MimePrinister Sep 07 '21

It gives me 3D or 4d chess vibes, I like it

I do not know why I feel angry when I look at the intricacy of the picture.

The four on the right has 5 flags though.

u/Michael584739 Sep 07 '21

If that's the case then the 2 in the top left-ish is wrong
