    I believe they are automatically cleared for you if there are no mines nearby, i.e. the number displayed in that cell, if it were to be shown at all, would be zero.
    "Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."

    The blocks clear when you click on a spot that is touching no mines. What happens is that it automatically clicks on all spots around this empty cell, and if THAT hits an empty cell then it repeats it for that spot. This continues until all available spots are clicked.
