Probably too late but how do you know that the very corner is a bomb? Could it not be the case that there are bombs on the two remaining squares, but not in the top corner?
Edit: Nevermind, I’m dumb. If it was as I proposed then the bottom 5 would be a 6!
So in one of my university computer science programs we had to make a game. Me and a partner made a “minesweeper clone” where it was exactly like minesweeper except that every single “tile map” would be forced to have a choice like this, and every single choice would be wrong. (e.q. the situations where it was a guess the mine was not fixed.)
The next semester, outside of class, we continued to work on it. (as it was slower compared to the “Real” game and there were some visual issues. We did this outside of class and with no oversite.
In the end we went to the chair of the computer science department with it and after he had a good laugh he have us permission to install it on ALL the pcs in the computer labs.
This is why I stopped playing minesweeper. On higher difficulties (with more mines), it becomes a game of chance rather than deduction. Used to play it quite a bit on the bus a few years ago.
You have to guess
Yes
Please give this post an edit when you find out
Schrodingers Bomb
Down obviously
This is the moment when you quit this one and feel good that you didn’t lose the game.
Seems like comments are leaning towards down… so far.
It’s 100% obviously without question the top one…
…except if I’m wrong then It’s the bottom one.
Best of luck OP!
Nah bro take the flag off of one you know is bad and die with certainty
The real mine was the friends you made along the way.
Up obviously
The answer is “hint”
Up.
If movies have taught me anything, you open the back of the device and cut the first blue wire you see.
50/50 chances therefore the one you pick will be the bomb 100% of the time.
Looking at how the rest of the board has gone, with the other 5 and the bomb layout out. I can safely say, it’s up.
If not it’s down.
Up
Top!
Up
Up
Top
Putting my up vote for now
UP
The mine was the top one. I failed.
It is in a supposition of both states until you open the box and collapse the wave function.
there’s variants where you can always win via logic.

this one is the one i use here and there, less colourful.
point to add: you have to use a bit of outside the box thinking here and there such as knowing how many mines are left, that sort of thing.
If I learned anything from the 90’s internet, it’s

e: I was very [way too late](https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/ykje4r/is_the_bomb_up_or_down/iutq2rz?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
Good news is the other square is the number that will clear this confusion right up!
My vote is for the top square.
Thats why you have flag victory turned on. Just mark and un mark last 2 until you win.

Yes.
