passage to black coal opened up while mining, safe now?

I supposed I'd have to work out the math, but could a square be 70% covered by the support and not have the center inside the arc? I mean, not with an arc of a perfect circle, at least. If it were an elliptical or parabolic curve of some sort, it would be possible.

Not possible under any circumstance to be on the outside of an ellipse and more than 50% without covering the centre.

The center wasn't covered. 2 or 3 supports were covering those 70%

Center of tile has to be covered to be secured by a support.

Now I understand that. At least I risked and can know for sure now

Here is an exact radius you can mine from without risk.

Keep in mind that the wooden support has a smaller range.
