This is supposed to be solvable, but I can't find anything. Any ideas? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Screenshot from Antimine on Android. It's supposed to not require any guesses, but I'm totally stuck. I'm probably missing something simple, so more eyes on it should help... Anyone?

I ended up guessing after no one found anything, and later used an online solver (https://mrgris.com/projects/minesweepr/) to prove that there was in fact no safe square. BTW this solver is pretty cool (and different from the one I linked in the other thread), it's more of a thing to play with and learn from than a tool. The links to use it (live demo / board solver) are on the right side of the website. Check it out, even if just for a fiddle!

Edit: I did have to input the whole thing manually, by which I mean just a cropped part that includes the unknown territory.
