I just got in and reading through the day's posts. I have a question and I hope to get the truth about the lies. Each response to a guess consists of two portions, the number correct and the number in the correct position. Are each of these portions treated separately and you respond with two lies, or is the response given as one lie and one of the portions could actually be correct?

Pluggin' 'em in a spreadsheet and just giving an answer - priceless. Have to look them up first - not so priceless.
Getting the truth about my guess - priceless Getting lied to about my effort - worthless :P

wow, very nicely done. How in the world did you know SAR was in the mix? I had the 7 but couldn't figure out what the 8th was. I didn't have the order done yet. amazing xshift, absolutely amazing

I had separated the guesses into 2 columns.. once I figured out which was the 'true' one, the other could be played as a "what it's not" thing. If a potential guess caused any of the "not" guesses to be true, then the potential guess was wrong. So guessing the same in 2 back to back guesses would give you both a what-it-is and what-it-isn't. Somewhat useful. The only thing I would have liked is a few more guesses per day (of course!), but it was still a lot of fun. And I have no idea why I tried SAR, but it fit, so I tried it. Thanks Scooby!

If a potential guess caused any of the "not" guesses to be true, then the potential guess was wrong. based on what scooby had said, I didn't draw that same conclusion about the lies. I thought if he said 2/0 and maybe it was 2/1, that still constituted a lie. I didn't see it as any not guess changing my true guesses. I suppose that is how you narrowed down the SAR. Because I had all 7 and a choice of like 6 for #8. Again, very nicely done
