Minesweeper·
Minesweeper edge work before the dig
An experiential minesweeper note — expanding a safe border for fourteen minutes, then one counted dig instead of a guess in the middle.
What this sitting was about
Intermediate minesweeper is local arithmetic plus border discipline. This sitting spent most of fourteen minutes widening a safe edge; the last dig was forced by counts, not hope.
What actually happened on the table
Minesweeper is local counting plus safe expansion: widen the edge before a fifty-fifty dig. Flagging early felt productive and blocked a clear opening. Clearing numbers first made the remaining mine obvious.
One line to keep for next time
Expand the known border until the dig is no longer a coin flip.
