Notes on this puzzle
99 mines, 381 safe cells and one 30×16 field: that is Mine Finder #5303. Some cells only give way when two neighbouring numbers are compared.
The board starts with 24 cells already uncovered, 6% of the safe ground, so the first deduction is waiting for you. Under the cover, 54 safe cells touch no mine at all, 148 show a 1 and 115 show a 2; 64 cells carry 3 or more, and the highest number in the field is 4. 20 of the mines lie along the border of the field.
Where to beginKeep an eye on the mine counter; on this field the final pocket is often settled by the total.
