Independent guide
This independent VM 1974 guide supplies its own free Colour Quota Mines demo. Operator identity, domains, licence, apps, payments, support and commercial game equivalence have not been independently verified. No operator account or commercial link is supplied here.
Two more dark-cell hazards
Choose 2, 4 or 6 hazards on a 4×4 board. The number on dark checkerboard cells is exactly two greater than the number on light cells. A 1 is dark. All 28/448/1960 legal layouts respectively are equally likely. A randomly chosen layout stays fixed for the round.
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 colour quota?
Choose 2, 4 or 6 hazards on a 4×4 board. The number on dark checkerboard cells is exactly two greater than the number on light cells. A 1 is dark. All 28/448/1960 legal layouts respectively are equally likely. A randomly chosen layout stays fixed for the 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.
What are the initial odds?
With 2 hazards, both hazards occupy dark cells. Each dark cell initially has safe probability 6/8, while each light cell is known safe with probability 1. A safe first dark reveal on a 20-coin stake gives 20×0.97/(6/8), about 25.867 coins; a known-safe light reveal leaves 19.4 coins. Subsequent odds count compatible layouts and may rise or fall.
