x = bomb space, O = safe space. the notation here is that the 1st character is R1C1, 2nd is R1C2, then R1C3, R1C4, R1C5, and then we go down, so the 6th character is R2C5, then R3C5, etc etc.
Where you have two Os, that's a sure safe space. Where you have two Xs, that's a sure bomb space.

Why can't it be:
XOOX.........
The only absolutely safe place is R1C3.
The only absolutey bomb place is R8C5. (Which by further deduction makes R4C5 safe.)
Other than that, you are on your own.
