'Minesweeper' can also be a job (the one that inspired the game), so disambig page will get at least one more entry. I'd go for a Minesweeper (game) (unless there's a board game to disambig from :-) ), keep Minesweeper (ship), and make Minesweeper a disambig page. The two contexts are quite different, jarring to the reader to be in one and thrown into the other. Tristanb Anyone have thoughts on the issue? Or to move minesweeper to ''Minesweeper computer game'' or something, and make Minesweeper a disambiguation page. (Though I realise the number of links doesn't equal popularity).Įven still, I was wondering if it would be best to add a disambiguation line to the start of this article. Most of the articles linking to this page are about various ships.

Robert Merkel An example has been added to the article, search for the sentence Minesweeper is not always solvable without guessing - FvdP 10:10 (PDT) I believe that there are other positions where it is not possible to proceed without guessing, also. A trivial proof of this is the situation at the beginning of the game. One thing that should be clarified is that it doesn't mean that minesweeper is always solvable without guessing. Which was unclear, the problem statement, or the concept of NP-Complete itself? I've added some explanation of Np-Completeness. Could it be made more clear? (I know it's a possibility that I'm just dense). Could I get more explanation of the NP-Complete bit? I'm not a mathematician and that question in relation to this game doesn't make sense to me.
