For an N x N Minesweeper grid the highest sum of numbers is (N-1)(3*N-2). This is achieved by filling every second row with mines (shown as 'X'). For example, when N=5 the best grids are:
.
  X X X X X
  4 6 6 6 4
  X X X X X
  4 6 6 6 4
  X X X X X
.
  and
.
  2 3 3 3 2
  X X X X X
  4 6 6 6 4
  X X X X X
  2 3 3 3 2
.
each giving a total of 52. (End)
