Screenshot from Antimine on Android. It's supposed to not require any guesses, but I'm totally stuck. I'm probably missing something simple, so more eyes on it should help... Anyone?

I also use the same app and sometimes find myself in a similar situation, having 50/50s as the only option. I think your only option is guessing, unless I'm also missing something here

You can do a bit better than 50/50 by guessing around places that only have 1 mine but 5 options.

True, that would raise the % of guessing correctly

Can you also flag the possible mines, see the number of remaining mines then assess the chance of clicking in the deep unknown?
