You cannot imagine how much this tutorial helped. I wanted to play in the last game but couldn't understand the game or the power ball thing.

Good! Yeah, the powerball thing was a little messy. But, once you have the game down, it's just another twist or variation. I really liked svslavs rotaing answer game - that was fun!

Now that you understand a little bit better, maybe you should go back and review Mastermind 1 or 2, and play along. It would be good practice before tomorrow's game!

Correct!

unnkown95, Tomorrow's game will be just like the tutorial. I will choose 4 colors out of the 9. After that, we go back to currencies, but the concept remains the same.

Come to think of it Mastermind 1 might not be the best example. I dropped the ball on a couple clues. I think the posts were all corrected, but it still might be messy.

Glad I'm not the only addict who's jonesin'!

The only trouble with the currencies is if you don't use a computer spreadsheet, you're gonna need a LOT of PAPER.

Hang in there xshift! I expect tomorrow's game to be very short and may possibly throw up MM XIII on Monday.

It will be a straight forward game with no crazy variations with a moderate currency list (to allow for those 0/0's!). I want to water it down a little to get some players and we'll worry about distorted games later.

And you're right, a spreadsheet does help a lot!

Thanks for playing!

I was within minutes of cancelling this game.

You have 1 color right and it is not in the right place, so 1/0.

I haven't established a time frame on guessing yet because I wanted to see how many people were going to play. So, for starters, let's go with 1 hour.

I expect this puzzle to be solved in 5-7 guesses and may change that if a few more people chime in.

1/0 - one of the colors are right, but it is not in the right position.

I may change the rule soon, but for now, wait one hour and you can post another guess.
