This will probably be my last game for awhile, I don't think I'll be able to play without bemoaning my miss on this agonizing 50/50!

Wow, that is bitter as fuck

Don't anthropomorphize computers - they don't like it.

You know the worst thing? You didn't even need to guess.

I don't see it. Please explain.

Not true - the (3,1) square must be free, but that doesn't actually help you because the remaining open squares remain a 50/50.

Admittedly, yes, it is a 50-50 guess. My comment was made tongue-in-cheek because, given the very high density and the fact that minesweeper places a mine in the top-left corner if your first click is on a mine, you would have had far better odds choosing the non-corner square over the corner square.

Not in Arbiter. Or do you mean if it had been Winmine?
