 In this second post in the series, we are going to look at two and its patterns. Let us jump into it. 2-2 from the corner If you see this pattern, it should be pretty straight forward. You have a two at the corner so it must mean that there are two mines from that corner going upwards. 2-3-2 Pattern This is a no brainer. As long as there is three in the middle of twos and only touches the squares on one side. 2-3-3-2 Pattern This is the same case as the above but the differences are four mines instead of three and an extra three in the pattern. The principle remains the same. Thank you for reading all the way to the end. I hope this blog post has shed some light in terms of understanding the patterns of minesweeper. If you would like to see this and more patterns in action, you can check out the video below.

By the end of this blog series, you should be able to play minesweeper at Novice level. Minesweeper is all about pattern recognition and effective chording . The rest is just practice and as they say, practice makes perfect.  The first part of the series will tackle the one part and its combinations, the next one will be two and its combinations and so forth. If you would like to see all the patterns at once, you can check out the video at the end of this blog post. Patterns 1 at the corner 1 at corner Where there is 1 and it is at a corner, there is a mine there as you can see in the image above. This is a very common pattern and you will see it a lot. It will really help open up the game very fast once you become effective at chording it. 1-1-1-1 from the bottom 1-1-1-1 The third one from the bottom always has no mine. The first two squares have a one point to them. This means there is a mine between the two squares but we don't know which one. Logically, the third one can'

I have heard the old saying of investing in real estate, land, physical businesses basically hard assets. I have discussed with many people regarding this and it always points back to one thing. The hard assets make you paper rich but not liquid. On paper, you have money but if I ask you to give me one million on the spot, you would have to sell one or two properties. This is why I decided for foreseeable future, I will get wealthy online.  Digital Ocean of Opportunities There are so many opportunities on the internet and the great thing is that you can do them from anywhere in the world. I like that freedom because I want to be travelling a lot in future and an easy way to do that is to make your money online. If there is one thing that Covid-19 has taught us is that you can work remotely, make more money and still get to enjoy yourself. Going out are the strict 9 to 5 jobs as companies are now considering hybrid working modes that involve both remote and going to the office. Liquidit

We have all being there. A situation arises where we have to come up with some money to sort out a given problem. Be it a hospital bill you need to settle, car got a puncture and need replacement or you got fired and don't know how you will pay the bills. You think of how to raise the money fast and quickly find yourself downloading Branch, Okash etc to borrow some money. What if there was a better way to handle such situations? To have a go to source when things get back. Here comes Emergency Fund . What is an emergency fund?  Investopedia  defines it as money stashed away that people can use in times of financial distress. Having an adequate emergency fund saves you the headache and hussle of paying bills at such times. So how do you go about creating one? Save Set aside a given amount of money every month to fuel the Emergency fund. This can be 10 -30% of your income but it shouldn't be less than 10%. Depending on the nature of emergencies, you can estimate a given range wh

Aftermath of Njaanuary Being 'broke' should be your modus operandi this year. Being 'broke' means you have the money but you rather save and invest it than spend it. It is putting away most of your money around 80% if you can, leaving you with only 20% to work with. You will realize that staying frugal will be very easy. You have no money so you won't spend any. Doing this long enough will make it automatic to spend only 20% of your income. After a while, you will find that you have saved most of the money you have earned. Money x Money x Money 8th Wonder of the world, compounding Now for the money you have saved, what you don't want is for it to sleep in the bank. Personally, I usually have less than 7k in my account. I like putting that money to work by buying shares in the NSE. The key to wealth is to make your money make more money and let it continue ad infinitum. It is like having 2 goats and the goats have 3 kids, the kids grow up to become goats and
