The following questions will test your intuitive knowledge of the quantum world, feel free to add any comments.
1. Someone shows you a minesweeper cell with no mine, but with 2 adjacent mines. He then reveals a new cell, again with no mine, with 1 adjacent mine. Is there any possibility that the first cell shows other than 2 adjacent mines?
No, the number remains the same.
No, but the number can disappear.
Yes, these things happen in the game, it depends on your luck.
Yes, perhaps there was more than one superposition.
Please add any comment you have:
2. You are given a closed minesweeper cell and asked to say if there is a mine inside. However, the only way to check is to reveal the cell. Can you say if there is a mine without triggering it and losing the game?
No, if I have to reveal it, it will trigger.
No, the mine is not really there anyway, it's a luck thing.
Yes, I can reveal it with a green (interaction-free) measurement
Yes, I can reveal it with a green (interaction-free) measurement but there is some chance of trigering it.
Please add any comment you have:
