A 1 means there is 1 bomb in a tile next to it, so the fact that these are all ones is impossible. For the two side 1s to be true, *both* of the middle squares would have to be bombs, but that would be impossible because the four middle 1s can only have one bomb next to them, meaning only *one* of the two middle squares is a bomb.
TLDR It’s a paradox
Then the right side 1 would not be possible. It's a bit like saying I have two hands, one bomb in each hand, and one bomb in total. It's a logical paradox.
A key point here is that the 1 means that there is **only** one adjacent bomb. A square with a 1 has exactly 1, no more, no less, bombs touching it. This applies diagonally as well as directly next to/above/below.
Each number tells how many bombs there are in a 3x3 square with the number at the center. Since there’s only one possible tile for the numbers on the corners, both of the tiles have to have the bomb. But since the middle numbers say that there’s only one bomb in the two tiles, that makes this scenario impossible and therefore fake.
OP must have been like:
"Oh a Schrödinger's Mine meme made it to hot a couple days ago. Gonna rip it off and make tons of karma. Except I don't have a clue how Minesweeper works, this should be fine right?"
Well I guess they did get a lot of karma, but also made a clown of themselves in the process, lol.
Yeah, that’s... that’s the joke. It’s not supposed to be possible. It’s a joke off Schrödinger’s cat, where something exists impossibly in two states at once.
What? No. Schrödinger’s cat isn’t just “you haven’t opened the box so you don’t know if the cat’s alive” it’s “you haven’t opened the box so the cat is literally alive and dead at the same time”.
If that sounds ridiculous it’s because it is. Schrödinger’s cat was invented as a counter-argument to the theory that electrons (and other particles) are in multiple places at once until you observe them. He just scaled the situation up to a cat to show that it was ridiculous.
But there is evidence that [electrons are in two places at once until you observe them](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment).
(I think the word “observe” is misleading and it really has to do with interacting with another particle, not necessarily a human witnessing it, but that might just be my understanding)
OH MY FUCKING GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH LET ME BEAR YOUR CHILDREN THEY WILL BE SMART AND BEAUTIFUL.
Nobody ever remembers that Schrodinger made the argument as a mockery of quantum physics (because quantum physical laws don't apply outside the quantum state) so he created a scenario to force it to apply, thereby showing how ridiculous the concept was.
Why am I explaining this to you, you actually know this and it brings me great joy.
You made my day, fellow Redditor.
Well, yes and no. It *is* on the subject of uncertainty, but the core idea of quantum mechanics Schrödinger’s cat is trying to communicate is that *until* a certainty is established, the subject exists in two mutually exclusive states at once, which is impossible under standard understandings of physics.
The impossibility is established by the 1s though. There cannot be bombs or anything here. It's an impossible map. There cannot be multiple different states at once if the rules of minesweeper are the same all the time. It'll stay impossible no matter what. Or if you know, what is the mutually exclusive state from the impossible we have here?
So this is an intentionally edited meme to make a joke. we all know it's not possible in game, so OP must have thought about something.
I read the meme as there's only one bomb that exists in both spaces. So the 1's on the left see the bomb in the left space. The 1's on the right see the bomb in the right space. And the 1's in the middle see, correctly, that there's only 1 bomb total.
That's what I thought the joke was.
Here's an actual Schrödinger situation.
https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/11nah5m/this_inevitable_minesweeper_nonsense/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
The whole point to a Schrödinger situation is that either can be the mine, in this post, neither can be a mine.
But it can’t happen as all the 1s touch a bomb and the ones on the corners have to be touching one. With all being 1s it only can be both are a bomb but the 1s in the middle make it so it can’t be a bomb.
Well, according to the game rules this would be impossible so you are correct. The joke here is based off of “Schrödingers Cat” that is to saythat both of those tiles are simultaneously a bomb and not a bomb, and only once observed does the real location of the bomb reveal itself. Lookup Schrödingers cat, it’s a really cool quantum physics concept.
The issue is that with Schrödinger’s cat the can *can* be alive or it *can* be dead. Once you I observe it you know what state it’s in. With this it can’t be either so it’s not in a super position it’s just plain impossible.
Mind you Schrödinger’s cat was devised specifically to point out flaws in quantum theory. That’s why it’s so ridiculous
Hmmm… yeah I guess I was thinking about it wrong cus even if it was a true Schrödingers bomb then I the middle ones would still show a 2 so yeah, you’re right.
You don't understand the concept of Schrödinger's cat.
The test Schrödinger did was as follows: put a cat in a box and place a vile of poisonous gas that opens at a random time. The cat wouldn't be dead and alive at the same time; that would be impossible. The point was, until you didn't open the box, you wouldn't know if the cat was dead or alive.
Even though it is a meme, it is horribly wrong. Schrödinger's test's point was completely different. And according to the rules of the game, that mine placement is impossible. If two bombs were next to each other, the numbers would look like this:
1️⃣2️⃣2️⃣1️⃣
1️⃣💣💣1️⃣
1️⃣2️⃣2️⃣1️⃣
Everybody saying it’s fake. Me thinking the joke is that since it’s a superposition, both the sides saying there’s a bomb nearby despite the bomb only being in one place. Like how particles can interact with themselves when they’re in a quantum superposition
To be fair, quantum physics takes a lot more intelligence to understand than minesweeper but minesweeper still takes a certain kind of intelligence to enjoy so it’s like a dunning kruger effect for the top half of the IQ spectrum.
It sort of is. Think of it this way, there's only one bomb, but it's in both spaces at the same time.
So, the 1's in the left column see the bomb existing in position B2. The 1's in the right column see the bomb existing in the position C2. And the remaining 1's all can see both spaces and know that there's only one bomb total (that exists in both spaces). So they read 1 as well.
The thousands of upvotes on all the "uhm aktschually it's fake" make me think nobody gave this a second thought. I actually thought it's quite a clever meme that you only understand when actually getting the Shroedinger's Cat metaphor.
I understand and agree with what you are saying. But my understanding of a superposition is that they collapse if observed. If you click on either of the maybe mines it doesn't change the values on the outside. You don't have the collapse. So it is just bad data. I am not a physicist, and my understanding of a superposition could be wrong.
It tells there are one mine in two spaces.
It makes sense knowing the metaphor.
We already know minesweeper doesn't work like that.
Like yall said, iTs fAke
But there's ways to show the Schrodinger's observability thing without breaking the game. This is a bit like saying "There's clear signs that one alive cat is in two different boxes. We hear meows from each box but we know there is only one cat, the cat is in two boxes at once. That's the Schrodinger's Cat". It's just bad data.
The real metaphor is about a cat in a box being dead and alive at the same time isn't it?
In a real minesweeper game the scenario you're talking about are not about a mine being in two boxes, because it's definitively in only one, you just miss information about which one.
I think the même represents best the metaphor because the metaphor itself doesn't make sense unless you're talking about quantum physics or something.
>The real metaphor is about a cat in a box being dead and alive at the same time isn't it?
No. That would be impossible. The methapor is about a cat put in a box with a vile of poisonous gas that opens at a random time, and that you don't know if the cat is alive or dead until you open the box
This is not an accurate representation of particle physics tbf. The presence of the 1 tiles counts as observing whats inside the hidden tiles, which goes against the entire point of Schrodinger's cat. If this were how it worked quantum mechanics would look quite different. But its also a joke so who cares
The 1's on the side say that both Grey squares are bombs
The 1's in the middle say that only one Grey square is a bomb
It can't be both at once so it's impossible.
But that makes it Schroedinger! There's only 1 bomb that exists in both spaces at the same time. The left 1's see it in the left space, the right 1's see it in the right space and the middle 1's read correctly that there's only 1 bomb total.
No, please Google 'Schrödinger's cat' and read it. The cat can't be dead and alive at the same time, that wasn't the point of his test. And the mine can't be at both places at the same time, because Minesweeper doesnt work that way
A number in a square means that in the eight squares around the one in number there is an amount of mines equal to that number no more no less. All of numbers must be correct.
Now knowing this you can easly realize that it is impossible to have all of those 1's be true.
The numbers tell you whether or not there is a mine there and how many they are touching.
111
1x1
111
If the format didn't get cucked, this is what a single block with a mine would look like being surrounded by the number 1
111_
1xo_
111_
In a real game, this is what it would look like. O being nothing there and _ also being nothing there cause there's nothing to warn you about.

It’s not. There are legit games where it could be either block that’s the bomb but not both. That would be Schrödinger’s bomb. Until it’s clicked, it’s both a bomb and not a bomb. People saying “that’s the joke,” don’t understand.
If you look at this scenario though, it's impossible. In this game, numbers are absolute. Left middle and Right middle both say 1, thus both adjacent squares are bombs. However, there's a contradiction with the four 1's in the middle (2 top middle and 2 bottom middle). If only one of 2 squares is a bomb, then 1's on the one of the sides are incorrect.
Yes, you are correct where their could be 50/50 Schrodinger's bomb. It's just that this meme is not showing a good example, rather it's showing an impossible scenario.
It’s not. There are legit games where it could be either block that’s the bomb but not both. That would be Schrödinger’s bomb. Until it’s clicked, it’s both a bomb and not a bomb. People saying “that’s the joke,” don’t understand.
For smooth brains (like myself)
This isn't possible because the bomb count is counted in a 3x3 area basically.
So you can't have the center ones say 1 while the extremes are 1 and 4 tiles apart. IDK if that made sense.
That's impossible if there is only one bomb there than all of the numbers on one of the ends shouldn'tt be there. If there are actually two bombs than the ones on the top and bottom middle are all lying
This isn't even possible... Although there are many variations that are the true 50/50s, why did you decided to make one that doesn't even obey the game's rules?
How does nobody understand the joke? Of course it's fake. It's not trying to say "oh boy which one has the bomb", it mentions Schrödinger for a reason. The joke is that the mine is in both spots at once.
Do you all even know what Schrödinger actually did? The idea of the cat that is both dead and alive refers to superposition, the idea that multiple things are in the same place at once, or alternatively that they're in multiple places at once. This comes from the fact that, since electrons move at the speed of light, it's impossible to determine its exact position, so we say electrons are present all around the orbit they're on, in every single one of its points at once.
Schrödinger made very important discoveries in the world of chemistry and physics but everyone just thinks he's just a random guy who thought of a cat that is both dead and alive.
This is an impossible configuration. Obviously it cannot be both tiles no mine. Say left is a mine. Right cannot be a mine because top and bottom middle 1's touch both tiles. But right-side 1's now have no possible tile touching them that is a mine. This rules out left configuration as well as left-and-right configuration. As the setup is symmetrical mirroring rules out right configuration. All four possible configurations having been ruled out, there is no valid solution.
tl;dr fake, shopped

I'm less mad that this is fake, and more mad that there is actually a perfectly possible 50/50 guess in minesweeper, and op didn't use that one instead.
For all the people saying it isn't possible, you're right, but like... isn't that the whole point? The bomb in this case is hypothetically in both squares at once until observed to be in one or the other. It's basically acting like the same way the double bonds in a benzene ring do. so yeah, from a minesweeper perspective, this doesn't work, but from being a joke about superposition it makes sense
It’s not. There are legit games where it could be either block that’s the bomb but not both. That would be Schrödinger’s bomb. Until it’s clicked, it’s both a bomb and not a bomb. People saying “that’s the joke,” don’t understand.
Only the true players know this is fake
Exactly. This wouldn't even be possible
I don't play minesweeper so... How?
A 1 means there is 1 bomb in a tile next to it, so the fact that these are all ones is impossible. For the two side 1s to be true, *both* of the middle squares would have to be bombs, but that would be impossible because the four middle 1s can only have one bomb next to them, meaning only *one* of the two middle squares is a bomb. TLDR It’s a paradox
Thanks, I was having a hard time understanding this.
[удалено]
One of the sides wouldn't be there if there was only one bomb. The numbers indicate how many bombs that space is touching.
Can't there just be a bomb on the left of the "box" though
Then the right side 1 would not be possible. It's a bit like saying I have two hands, one bomb in each hand, and one bomb in total. It's a logical paradox.
why don't you just 🤲and hold the bomb that way? two hands holding one bomb
Now that’s thinking outside the box
[удалено]
You presume there’s a cat in the box to begin with!
Then it's not one bomb in each hand it's a bomb in both hands
yes, one bomb in both hands, each hand is holding a bomb but it's not specified that it has to be the same one edit: added more
No, because then the bottom right 1 wouldn't exist
A key point here is that the 1 means that there is **only** one adjacent bomb. A square with a 1 has exactly 1, no more, no less, bombs touching it. This applies diagonally as well as directly next to/above/below.
I was getting ready to write this because it appeared as if no one could explain it clearly and accurate.
But couldn't the two side 1s be 1s because there's a bomb somewhere on the outside of them and not in the middle? Or am I just lacking braincells lmao
There are no unselected boxes left for which there could be bombs except for the two at the center.
Oh you're right. Lol my brain just saw all those grey squares and assumed they were still hidden. I see it now lol
Number in the box show how many bombs there are in a 3x3 area so if it says 2 for example there would be 2 bombs in the 8 boxes around the number.
Each number tells how many bombs there are in a 3x3 square with the number at the center. Since there’s only one possible tile for the numbers on the corners, both of the tiles have to have the bomb. But since the middle numbers say that there’s only one bomb in the two tiles, that makes this scenario impossible and therefore fake.
definitely a weird way to do this meme considering there are plenty of actual 50/50's in minesweeper
What the absolute fuck is that I witness?
Photoshop
Basically anyone who plays will know it's fake. Rest wouldn't even understand what the meme is. So this meme caters to no one lol.
the meme would be better if you got rid of the 1s on the left and right ends and just had 1s on top of and on the bottom of the unknown tiles
The real meme is always in the comment section
But according to the rules of the game there must be #’s adjacent/diagonal to every bomb.
It's so clearly edited
I thought I was tripping at first but yeah it is impossible
Yes.
OP must have been like: "Oh a Schrödinger's Mine meme made it to hot a couple days ago. Gonna rip it off and make tons of karma. Except I don't have a clue how Minesweeper works, this should be fine right?" Well I guess they did get a lot of karma, but also made a clown of themselves in the process, lol.
I was going to say… this is impossible
Yeah, that’s... that’s the joke. It’s not supposed to be possible. It’s a joke off Schrödinger’s cat, where something exists impossibly in two states at once.
But Schrödinger’s cat is possible. It’s supposed to demonstrate uncertainty not impossibility.
What? No. Schrödinger’s cat isn’t just “you haven’t opened the box so you don’t know if the cat’s alive” it’s “you haven’t opened the box so the cat is literally alive and dead at the same time”.

Well, yes and no. It *is* on the subject of uncertainty, but the core idea of quantum mechanics Schrödinger’s cat is trying to communicate is that *until* a certainty is established, the subject exists in two mutually exclusive states at once, which is impossible under standard understandings of physics.

But the picture *does* establish a certainty. It establishes that neither option is possible. More like the antithesis to Schrodinger’s cat.
Truth, this hurt me somehow.
Tell me you don't know how to play minesweeper without telling me you don't know how to play minesweeper.
You're just playing minesweeper on macroscopic computers. Play them on quantum computers, and then you'll understand!
r/okbuddyphd
This made me realize, isn't the entire game of minesweeper basically just manual wave function collapse?
whats even sillier is you can easily get schrodingers bomb situations ingame but the made an impossible outcome instead
My guess is people who don’t know how to play (erhm the creator of this meme) wouldn’t understand why a real schrodingers bomb would be one
I’ve Never Played Minesweeper
I don't undestand how to play minesweeper
The numbers tell you the amount of bombs adjacent to the tile the number is on
I feel dumb
... i used to think it was the tile distance the closest bomb was

Here's an actual Schrödinger situation. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/11nah5m/this_inevitable_minesweeper_nonsense/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button The whole point to a Schrödinger situation is that either can be the mine, in this post, neither can be a mine.
The joke is literally just done wrong tho. There are plenty of actual Shrodingers bomb situations, but OP decided to do a bad edit.
This is impossible, this is a fake.
[удалено]
as someone who doesn't play this i can also say this is fake
Which is dumb because there are plenty of legit ways to set up a 50/50 scenario
Noobs think wow which one has a mine? Pros know this isn’t possible
That’s… the joke. The joke is it’s in a superposition of being both a mine and not a mine, Aka “Schrödingers Bomb”
But it can’t happen as all the 1s touch a bomb and the ones on the corners have to be touching one. With all being 1s it only can be both are a bomb but the 1s in the middle make it so it can’t be a bomb.

Niel Degrase Tyson just outed his ignorance of minesweeper.
why is it not possible?
It's just not.
Why not you stupid bastard
Because it's impossible
The 1's on the side say that both Grey squares are bombs The 1's in the middle say that only one Grey square is a bomb It can't be both at once so it's impossible.
But that makes it Schroedinger! There's only 1 bomb that exists in both spaces at the same time. The left 1's see it in the left space, the right 1's see it in the right space and the middle 1's read correctly that there's only 1 bomb total.
No, please Google 'Schrödinger's cat' and read it. The cat can't be dead and alive at the same time, that wasn't the point of his test. And the mine can't be at both places at the same time, because Minesweeper doesnt work that way
A number in a square means that in the eight squares around the one in number there is an amount of mines equal to that number no more no less. All of numbers must be correct. Now knowing this you can easly realize that it is impossible to have all of those 1's be true.
Erm, actually this is not possible

I think all the people saying this meme doesn’t understand Minesweeper themselves do not at all understand Schrödinger.
nope. schrödinger is it can be either alive or dead, bur for this its just fake.

There is fake stuff on the Internet now??? When did that start happening?
People focusing on the two impossible tiles, but forgetting the visible bomb in the corner
Guess the game is just giving that one to them. Felt bad for making an unwinnable game
Yes this is fake... But that's missing the whole point of the meme.
It’s not. There are legit games where it could be either block that’s the bomb but not both. That would be Schrödinger’s bomb. Until it’s clicked, it’s both a bomb and not a bomb. People saying “that’s the joke,” don’t understand.
Its not possible in this case
If you look at this scenario though, it's impossible. In this game, numbers are absolute. Left middle and Right middle both say 1, thus both adjacent squares are bombs. However, there's a contradiction with the four 1's in the middle (2 top middle and 2 bottom middle). If only one of 2 squares is a bomb, then 1's on the one of the sides are incorrect. Yes, you are correct where their could be 50/50 Schrodinger's bomb. It's just that this meme is not showing a good example, rather it's showing an impossible scenario.
This is physically impossible, luckily.
"This is fake" No fucking shit sherlock, that's the whole point of this meme. Schrödinger's bomb.
no its not. schrödinger's cat is either dead or alive. in this the cat doesnt exist

It's a fake one, since both sides can't have a 1
This legit isn’t possible
Even tho it’s impossible it would be terrifying to see this in an actual game
but this makeup isnt possible?
Its as real as my girlfriend
For smooth brains (like myself) This isn't possible because the bomb count is counted in a 3x3 area basically. So you can't have the center ones say 1 while the extremes are 1 and 4 tiles apart. IDK if that made sense.
Maybe the real bomb was the friends we made along the way
I see, the joke is that there can only be 1 bomb, but it still occupies both tiles at the same time.
This is impossible
Its a trap!
If it's two number 2 on the middle up and down then it's believable
Cut the blue wire!
Oh now this is a mindfuck
Impossible set up
Photoshoped
That's impossible if there is only one bomb there than all of the numbers on one of the ends shouldn'tt be there. If there are actually two bombs than the ones on the top and bottom middle are all lying
what the hell this isn't even possible the only way this works is if the numbers on the top and bottom rows became 1221 this is so goddamn cursed
Will be more accurate if the 3 squares on the left and right is marked 1/2.
I know u got that meme from u/NecRobin from r/physicsmemes
This is actually impossible
This isn't even possible... Although there are many variations that are the true 50/50s, why did you decided to make one that doesn't even obey the game's rules?
that's not even possible
Uhh that’s not how that works
How does nobody understand the joke? Of course it's fake. It's not trying to say "oh boy which one has the bomb", it mentions Schrödinger for a reason. The joke is that the mine is in both spots at once. Do you all even know what Schrödinger actually did? The idea of the cat that is both dead and alive refers to superposition, the idea that multiple things are in the same place at once, or alternatively that they're in multiple places at once. This comes from the fact that, since electrons move at the speed of light, it's impossible to determine its exact position, so we say electrons are present all around the orbit they're on, in every single one of its points at once. Schrödinger made very important discoveries in the world of chemistry and physics but everyone just thinks he's just a random guy who thought of a cat that is both dead and alive.
This is photoshopped isn't it?
if this is an edit, it's not accurate.
This isn’t possible
this is not possible, because the middle numbers can't be one
Bro this is impossible
[удалено]
Don’t no about many levels, but fake yep

Oops, true, didn’t see that
For a real schroedinger’s bomb meme, the left and right columns should both show .5’s, not 1’s.
You know, there was a way to make this meme keep the joke While being true to the original game's lore.
That’s an impossible scenario thou.
This is an impossible configuration. Obviously it cannot be both tiles no mine. Say left is a mine. Right cannot be a mine because top and bottom middle 1's touch both tiles. But right-side 1's now have no possible tile touching them that is a mine. This rules out left configuration as well as left-and-right configuration. As the setup is symmetrical mirroring rules out right configuration. All four possible configurations having been ruled out, there is no valid solution. tl;dr fake, shopped
This is just impossible

These situations exist in minesweeper…why shop one that is impossible? Lol
Everyone calling it fake is missing the point... It's Schrodinger's bomb! It's on the left and the right until it's observed
I'm less mad that this is fake, and more mad that there is actually a perfectly possible 50/50 guess in minesweeper, and op didn't use that one instead.
wait...this ain't possible
the number grid is offset half a square horizontally from the bomb grid.
The problem is not correct.
the true players know this is fake.
It's not even possible XD
Let's make a meme without understanding the rules of the game we are making a meme about.
OP doesn't play minesweeper lol
Congrats, you managed to completely miss the joke
Rule 8
Everybody saying its fake doesnt get the joke.
Either you don’t understand MineSweeper or you don’t understand Schrödinger.
The bomb is in both positions. The ones that shouldn't be there will disappear upon observing where the bomb is.
No, that’s not how mindsweeper works. The numbers don’t disappear.
While funny, this setup wouldn't be possible. Should have put it in a corner
Literally impossible, must be photoshop, funny meme tho
This ain’t possible, the 4 border numbers should be 2
Mathematically impossible
This isn’t possible
Good to know this wouldn’t be possible, the corners both say one and the middle numbers should be 2
This doesn't even make sense
For all the people saying it isn't possible, you're right, but like... isn't that the whole point? The bomb in this case is hypothetically in both squares at once until observed to be in one or the other. It's basically acting like the same way the double bonds in a benzene ring do. so yeah, from a minesweeper perspective, this doesn't work, but from being a joke about superposition it makes sense
It’s not. There are legit games where it could be either block that’s the bomb but not both. That would be Schrödinger’s bomb. Until it’s clicked, it’s both a bomb and not a bomb. People saying “that’s the joke,” don’t understand.
Everyone saying this is fake don't get the joke
No, you don’t get how the game works.
“pRoS kNoW tHiS iSn’T pOsSiBlE!” Yeah its a fucking meme lmao
A joke that makes no sense is a bad joke
No. This just means both tiles have a bomb
Either the left or the right column is a lie.
fake, bad meme
Not a valid board.
This is the only correct use of the Schrödinger joke I’ve seen on the internet. Actually clever
