Amazing! Love the solutions at the end. A great touch, and something I don't recall seeing before on this kind of quiz.

Thanks! Now if only I knew how to make it look less janky on mobile.

I see what you mean. I sent you a message on discord about fixing that.

I did. I’ve become pretty efficient at making minesweeper grids in Inkscape.

Ok, I'm hoping you can help me, because I feel like I'm going crazy here, and don't know what I'm missing. The first setup feels impossible to me?

For the below walkthrough, I've labelled the columns A through G (left to right) and the rows 1 through 6 (bottom to top). So for example, the cell C3 is the one with the answer key "H." Please refer to this image for needed clarity.

So by my reckoning: Clearly cells C5, C4, and C3 [keys C, F, H] must have mines. And because of the "1"s in cells C1 and E1, either D1 or D2 has a mine (we don't know which, but it doesn't matter - there is one mine between the two cells). So by the "3" in C2 (or the "2" in E2), D3 must contain a mine. But then because of the "1" in E4, none of D4, D5, or E5 [keys D, E, G] can contain a mine. Which breaks the "1" in F4.

Yes? No? What am I missing?

Otherwise, I love the quiz!

Aw man, I see the issue. For the sake of saving space, I cut off the bottom set of squares since I didn’t label them with letters. You’re right; technically what you see is impossible.
