PROBLEM STATEMENT You are presented with a field of squares. Some squares contain mines (bombs), others don't. If you click on a square containing a bomb, you lose. If you manage to click all the squares (without clicking on any bombs) you win. Clicking a square which doesn't have a bomb reveals the number of neighbouring squares containing bombs. Use this information plus some guess work to avoid the bombs. A square’s "neighbours" are the squares adjacent above, below, left, right, and all 4 diagonals. Squares on the sides of the board or in a corner have fewer neighbors. The board does not wrap around the edges. If you open a square with 0 neighboring bombs, all its neighbors will automatically open. This can cause a large area to automatically open.
MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND
Probability of finding a mine =minessize*size
