In a Super™ Minesweeper grid each cell is either a mine or a value. A value in row $r$ and column $c$ represents the total number of mines located in row $r$ or column $c$.

Can you fill a 5x5 Super™ Minesweeper grid with mines such that every number from 0 to 6 appears at least once? Good luck!

    $\begingroup$ A value in row r and column c represents the total number of mines located in row r or column c. Doesn't your solution use [...] row and column? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @alex I puzzled over that too. But if you use that definition 6 can never be used, so I inferred that this was what the OP had in mind. $\endgroup$
