Paired hazards along a closed perimeter ring

Choose 3, 4 or 5 hazards on a 4×4 board. Read the twelve perimeter cells as a closed ring in clockwise order; for each perimeter hazard exactly one of its two adjacent ring cells must also be a hazard. Ring corners join consecutive boundary cells. Interior hazards have no extra constraint. Non-hazard perimeter cells have no neighbour requirement. There are 52/115/216 equally likely legal layouts respectively, fixed through a round.

Exact conditional value

Live value starts at 0.97 times the virtual stake. A safe reveal divides it by that cell’s exact conditional safe probability among the remaining compatible legal layouts. A hazard ends the round with zero return. Reveals change knowledge, not the hidden layout.

Initial and updated safe probabilities

At 3 hazards, each perimeter cell is safe in 44 of 52 legal layouts and each interior cell in 37 of 52. A safe perimeter reveal from stake20 returns live value20×0.97/(44/52), about22.927coins; an interior reveal gives about27.265coins. These are starting values, not guaranteed results. Later compatible-layout probabilities can rise or fall.

Collect and eligible choices

Collect is available after a safe reveal. Proven hazards are unavailable; proven-safe cells have probability 1 and add no value. A choice with next value above 1000 times stake is unavailable. When no eligible uncertain choice remains, the current value is banked automatically. The guard is not a promise that 1000×stake can be reached.

Expected return and variance

Exact expected return is 97% for permitted stopping policies. The initial 3% reduction is applied once; conditional safe-branch compensation preserves expectation. Choosing coordinates or stopping changes risk and variance, not this expectation. A short session is not guaranteed to match it.

What is the perimeter neighbour rule?

Choose 3, 4 or 5 hazards on a 4×4 board. Read the twelve perimeter cells as a closed ring in clockwise order; for each perimeter hazard exactly one of its two adjacent ring cells must also be a hazard. Ring corners join consecutive boundary cells. Interior hazards have no extra constraint. Non-hazard perimeter cells have no neighbour requirement. There are 52/115/216 equally likely legal layouts respectively, fixed through a round.

How is value calculated?

Live value starts at 0.97 times the virtual stake. A safe reveal divides it by that cell’s exact conditional safe probability among the remaining compatible legal layouts. A hazard ends the round with zero return. Reveals change knowledge, not the hidden layout.

How do odds change after a reveal?

At 3 hazards, each perimeter cell is safe in 44 of 52 legal layouts and each interior cell in 37 of 52. A safe perimeter reveal from stake20 returns live value20×0.97/(44/52), about22.927coins; an interior reveal gives about27.265coins. These are starting values, not guaranteed results. Later compatible-layout probabilities can rise or fall.

When can I collect?

Collect is available after a safe reveal. Proven hazards are unavailable; proven-safe cells have probability 1 and add no value. A choice with next value above 1000 times stake is unavailable. When no eligible uncertain choice remains, the current value is banked automatically. The guard is not a promise that 1000×stake can be reached.

Does 97% guarantee a result?

Exact expected return is 97% for permitted stopping policies. The initial 3% reduction is applied once; conditional safe-branch compensation preserves expectation. Choosing coordinates or stopping changes risk and variance, not this expectation. A short session is not guaranteed to match it.

What survives reload?

Settled balance and fractional payout carry persist in localStorage. Reloading during a round ends it without refunding its already deducted stake. Outside a round, refill restores 1000 coins when balance is below the smallest stake; it does not add 1000 or reset fractional carry. Hazard count, stake and refill are locked during play.

Can requests expose technical data?

There are no account, payment or identity-document forms here. Fonts, the visit counter, server and CDN requests can expose technical data including IP and browser details. Complete anonymity, third-party data use and cookie lifetimes are not established. Clearing cache alone may leave localStorage intact.

Are external claims authenticated?

A matching brand, professional design, search result or HTTPS connection does not verify ownership, authorisation or safety. Match any claim against an independent regulator register, including entity, current status, scope and listed domains. No operator licence or service is endorsed here.

How can I limit a session?

This demo is restricted to adults 18+ and uses coins without cash value or prizes. Set session time and virtual-coin limits before playing, then stop at those limits. Raising a stake to recover losses does not improve expectation. If playing affects responsibilities or becomes hard to control, stop and seek suitable independently verified local support.
