Relentless Logic

"You are a private in the U.S. Marine Corps. You have been selected by the Base Commander to perform a noble task. The future of the United States rests in your hands. Communications are down. You have been instructed to deliver an important message to the U.S. Command Center. Between you and the Center is a field teeming with hidden land mines. You have two tools at your disposal. One is a mine detector. It will tell you how many mines are hidden in squares surrounding you. You also have one of the most important attributes known to man... RELENTLESS LOGIC. With this gift and the clues given to you by the mine detector, you should be able to accomplish the mission without blowing yourself to bits... maybe. Anyway you're our only hope."
