Tyler is just super big brain. Like his comprehension of everything is just off the charts. He makes all of us meer mortals look dumb with his massive cranium

Helps that he's cutting out the parts where he thinks

@@oledakaajel yeah, I see he cuts some thinking parts out, but still half the time it’s just a fluid train of thought that I need to pause and rewind and stop myself to follow along.

i imagine doing this on youtube is actually pretty beneficial, as it lets him talk through his thoughts

I watch the minesweeper videos on .75 speed when I'm watching them before bed. Definitely recommend it!

Also the fact that we don’t get a big chunk of blank pieces at the start of the game like normal minesweeper, dead giveaways are also turned into a question mark.

It's random? I thought each one was pre-made

@@cinnamonjam9173 i think its random, in the bottom left there is a number, i guess thats like a seed?

@@lucamega1212 huh damn their puzzle algorithm must be pretty good

@@lucamega1212 itd make a lot more sense than manually making over a thousand boards per puzzle type

Humans weren't meant to count higher than 3, we have lost our way

@laith if you look up indigenous counting systems, most of them don't go past 3 or 5 or whatever and just have a 'many' number after that. being able to count to arbitrarily high numbers is a modern concept

@@Patashu I think the basic limit is 4. Anything higher than that is just "alot"

@laith it would be, if it were true. It very much isn’t, though. Almost every language has words for numbers until 20 or so. Pirahã, a very unusual language linguists have heated conversations about, only has words for 1, 2 and “many”, but it’s extremely unusual in that and a lot of other aspects. More controversially, Daniel Everett, the guy who studied it back in the 1980’s claims it falsifies Universal Grammar, which the very influential linguist Noam Chomsky had proposed a few decades before, but it’s very difficult to determine whether Everett’s analysis was correct since no one speaks the damn language outside of him and the Pirahã, and the whole thing is very confusing. Anyway, languages have very varied counting systems. The ones indigenous to New Guinea are particularly fun, Telefol uses base-27, and Kalam uses base-23. I don’t know what they mean by “indigenous languages”, since every natural language is indigenous to some place, but they probably mean “native to a culture that hasn’t been extensively globalized”. Whatever they mean, not having words for numbers larger than 2 isn’t common anywhere.

@laith real

There are cuts in the video while he's thinking.

But like all the takes are within the same day

God that logic makes my head hurt...

This reminds me of some Light-Up boards I've seen, where a fragment of the board will definitely have multiple solutions if a light is (not) placed somewhere. Really fun to think about these cases.

He used in the final puzzle of the first video

Ooh like in sudokus!

I'm curious as to how it would actually be solved (I had a similar comment in the previous video where that happened). Edit: The 4 in the bottom row means at least one black square next to the 4 in the middle column has a mine, which in turn means the square with the 9 does not have a mine. This means the 4 in the middle column and the 1 next to it act as a 2-1 pair, giving the 1 at the bottom-right; this forces a mine and completes the 3.

@@btf_flotsam478 the gray square top-left from the 3 is 100% a bomb since the 3 couldn't be all three of the black squares due to the 1, which means the middle 4 has two unknown bombs we know the 4 on the left must use the gray square since the three black squares couldn't suffice, which means we know the middle 4 will also use one of those bombs/black squares to the left and below it so now we know the middle 4 needs one more black square, and we know that the 7 can share at minimum 3 bombs with the 4 (Tyler explained at 3:37) since we know it isn't the grey square top-left from the middle 4, then that means every other bomb that the 7 shares with that 4 is a bomb (which leaves the black squares left and right of the middle 4) because the black square to the right of the middle 4 is a bomb, that satisfies all three of the bombs that the 3 needed, so all the other squares could be cleared (including the one Tyler clicked)

Came down here to check I wasn't crazy. I couldn't see how to conclude the black was safe.

@@syaba2327 why wouldn’t the configuration of the middle 4 having the right and bottom squares be a mine work? At this point of the video it seems possible that the bottom left 4 could have the grey square and the black squares on top and right being mined while the middle 4 has the mine at the top right square with 2 mines at the bottom and right of it. It satisfies the 1 so the 3 could have the grey square and black square on top (where the original comment said he got lucky) of it being mines. At the same time the top 3 squares of the 7 could be mines to complete it

@@montano0222 it would overload the 1 if that was the case, that would be 2 for it

By the way, should I add the previous episode’s rules as well?

Yes, Also, I think cc comes from checkers since that's cc

Am i the only one who wants to see a board in this game featuring all the rules active at once? Its probably impossible, but would be interesting to see.

@@fusionwing4208 Small spoiler alert: That may actually be the case in the final game, as the final category in the demo already mixes two rulesets.

Would probably just squish the numbers into the box, or shrink the number. I always found the elusive 8 to be fascinating and satisfying. Cause whenever an 8 showed up in the regular game you essentially received a free 8 mines (as every square around the 8 is a mine). One thing this game intrigues me with is the fact that it has a 0, i dont think the base game ever used 0, it only used blank spaces, which the question marks basically fill

the game actually doesn't allow for numbers 10 and above

@@fusionwing4208 in the original version if you got a zero the game showed a blank square and the game automatically revealed neighboring tiles for you

The blanks are zeros in the original. The question mark is absolutely not the same as these. A question mark doesn't tell you how many tiles have mines around the space while a blank in the original tell you there's exactly 0.

@@ezra7088 it does, it just squishes the number in

Have you tried demoncrawl?

Please actually do this with water. You'll be SO hydrated. 😂

@@aayyyooooo I'll be high rated ( it's ok if you don't get the reference I'll tell you )

good ol midnight

@@user_hat yup, feels good

Surprisingly, you are correct about speed.

What time is it 4 you for me it's 12

It's 10 am

Yep the correct logic was to start from bottom left which would lead to the fact that the middle 4 was sharing a mine with the 1, thus clearing the bottom right corner 1, revealing the mine.

Went looking for this comment, his logic seemed very wrong to me. A bit sad the game hasn't figured out how to verify that a guess is most-definitely a guess, and punish it with a loss.

@@feha92 The game actually does have that option, but I don't think Tyler has it enabled (or maybe he doesn't know about it)

I wonder if a puzzle game could be built around determining when or where randomness is in play. Like a "one of these things doesn't follow the logic" thing

@@WukongTheMonkeyKing I think at one point I saw a puzzle game where you could push a 'this is impossible' button and you'd win/lose on the spot depending on your guess

skill issue lol

8 minutes????
