    One time several years ago, I was playing intermediate mode with my family watching me. I started a new game, and clicked on a completely random square and it was an 8. After watching this video, I am realizing how unbelievably lucky I was during that game.

    When you get an 8 on your first click:

    • @GamesComputersPlay
      @GamesComputersPlay  3 года назад +533

      That's an interesting question - what's the chance of not only getting an 8, but getting it on the first click. Given the 8*8, the chance of that is somewhere at a in 180 million. Which is approximately the same chance as getting Red in roulette 27 times in a row. Which is crazy unlikely!
      And then again, there is a world record in roulette - 32 times in a row, happened once in the 40s.
      Chances of first click 8 in Intermediate and Expert are actualy much higher: 1in 8M and 1 in 600K.
      I woudl assume there can be 600.000 expert minesweeper games being played in the world every day - meaning people uncover 8 with first click all over the world probably on a daily basis, we just dont know about it... And maybe once a year - first cick 8 in the beginner! Crazy, huh!

    I can’t believe 7 is actually 2.7% I thought it would be much rarer

    • @GamesComputersPlay
      @GamesComputersPlay  3 года назад +231

      I kinda feel the same way.
      One thing that can somewhat explain it is that 2.7% is the chance that *a board had* 7 - not necessarily that player saw it.
      For example, maybe it was one of those games where you had 50/50 half the way in and guessed wrong. Or maybe one of those where opening won't open and you just clicked on the mine in the very beginning. Maybe 7 was there on the board, but will be forever left hidden under one of the tiles.
      So if, say, you'd on average open half the board, the chance of *seeing* 7 would be proportionate to that - 1.3%, not 2.7%. In reality it maybe even smaller, depending on the average board open rate.
      Same applies to all probabilities here.

      @ДаниилРабинович-б9п 3 года назад +51

      @@GamesComputersPlay in reality, I think if you opened half of the board in a game that contained 7, your chance of seeing it is probably actually much less than 1/2. To see a 7, you, by definition, need to click on a square that is only connected to one open square, and that's usually one of the last things you do.

    So i used to play minesweeper on my old pc that used dial up modem. It was like the only game it had that I actually played. And I remember 2 specific cases where I have seen number 8, one on expert difficulty that I didnt win and only reason I remembered the 8 mines was because I clicked on one of them and it killed me. And the other time I think it wasn't on expert mode but idk which of the other modes it was, I did win that game. Also, I think I saw one 7 in a beginner game but that I am uncertain what exact mode it was. Unfortunately, since I was a kid then and mobile phones basically didn't exist yet there's no proof. I treated it like a normal thing. Take care and great vid!

    you could do combinatorics or just figure out that 1 in 6.4 squares are mines, do 6.4^8 and get 1 in 2.8 million

      That is actually fascinating! But also a coincedence - as it clearly doesn't work for Intermediate and Expert.

      @@GamesComputersPlay yea! 6.4 comes from 10 mines in the 64 tiles for beginner. intermediate and expert have higher mine density so that number would be lower, therefore making the likelihood of an 8 lower

    One important not that I’m not seeing people bring up - the game typically tries to make sure your first click isn’t a mine. So even if you set it to have way more mines than normal, the game will still wait to arrange the mines until you’ve made that first click.

    • @GamesComputersPlay
      @GamesComputersPlay  3 года назад

      You are right - it does bring some extra error to the calculation. If you take "safe first click" into account the chance of 8 will be about 12% smaller for Beginner, 3% for Intermediate and 2% for Expert.

  • @FederationStarShip
    @FederationStarShip 3 года назад

    I’m afraid the maths at 3:46 is a bit off. Mines don’t arrange themselves randomly across the board. In particular, they don’t form “islands”, the denominator in that fraction includes arrangements which have all the mines grouped in one corner or which include a 3x3 mine cluster

    • @GamesComputersPlay
      @GamesComputersPlay  3 года назад

      I am not 100% sure this is so. But I think you maybe right, as modernMInesweepers limit minimal number of clicks needed to solve the board. And a board with 8 has very low clicks - and probably wouldn't be allowed.
