Scooby let me take the reins for the next Mastermind contest which will kick off at 1200 (EST) on Friday May 14 (0900 for us pacific folk).
I will be following the same rules as Scooby did, but will be using different identifiers for the puzzle. Also, I may or may not throw in a twist.
For those of you not familiar with the game:
Someone (in this case, me) selects a number of predefined identifiers and arranges them in a certain order (NO duplicates will be used!). The players, y'all, (no, I'm not from the south, but I was stationed with a lot of Marines from the south.. and I picked it up.) try to guess which identifiers and in what order.
After each guess, you will get clues as to how many are correct in total, and how many are in the right position. But, it's up to you to figure out which ones!
Let's take a test run: Let's say I've chosen: MXN, JPY, XAU, USD, CHF, GBP, EUR And the first guess is: AUD, CAD, XAU, NZD, GBP, SGD, XAG Then the clue would be 2 right in total (XAU and GBP) and 1 in the right position (XAU). But, again, all you will get from me is 2 correct, 1 in the right position. You have to figure out which is correct and in the right place.
One guess per person per day. 1 day will be defined as midnight EST. *** Exceptions***: (A) If you post a reply that has too many or not enough selections, you may repost with the correct number of identifiers. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST - just repost. (B) You can take a second guess in the same day, but it will be your final answer. If you are wrong - you are eliminated and can no longer play.
I will start a new thread for the game and repost the final rules. As for prizes.. I'm not sure yet.. but since this is my first contest, I think I might get y'all something good. Hope to see everyone play!
