The rules, in case someone needs a reminder of how to play the game (adapted from and shamelessly stolen from svslav's post in the last game): [5/27 Rule Update: updated number of currencies guessed at a time to 12, and anti-sniping to after there are 8 correct currencies.] Also, you must have at least 50 quality posts to play. The rules: 1. Out of 170 currencies listed below, given by their three-letter code name, I'll pick a combination of twelve distinct currencies in a particular order. 2. You can post 12 currencies, no repetition within a single guess allowed, and I'll give you feedback on it and tell you how many currencies in your guess are correct, and how many of them are in correct places. If you make a mistake/typo make a new corrected post, do not edit your submissions. For example if the winning combination is: FBI, KGB, CIA, IOU, LSD, ICU, AAA, AKA, BMW, FDR, and your guess is CIA, ETC, DMV, IOU, BMW, LSD, AAA, NBA, KGB, STD, my reply would be 6/2 for you got six items correctly with two of them in the right spot. 3. Everybody gets three guesses a day, one guess in a single post, day determined by the forum clock. The "day" will reset at 10 pm. If you guessed 3 times just before 10:00, after 10 you can guess again. There's no rollovers, if you missed a chance to post three guesses today, there's no additional guesses tomorrow. You can submit guesses at any time but it may make better sense to wait till I reply to any pending guess. "Final Guess" clause: This could be posted at any time and it ends the game for you. If you get the winning combo it'll end the game for everyone! (It makes sense to use your "Final Guess" option if you have run out of your allowed three guesses for the day but you believe you know the winning combination.) The post shall contain the phrase "Final Guess". "Antisniping" clause: After 8 correct currencies have appeared in a single guess, regardless of their position, no new entrants will be honored. "Weavus Rule" clause: Wisecrack comments are mandatory by both players and bystanders. In case you guessed the winning ten but you hadn't made a wisecrack remark you will be ineligible for the prize! 5. To win this game you'll have to name the 12 chosen currencies in the correct places (get the feedback of 12/12). The list of currencies (Some of them are outdated, but who cares, it's not important): AED United Arab Emirates, Dirhams AFN Afghanistan, Afghanis ALL Albania, Leke AMD Armenia, Drams ANG Netherlands Antilles, Guilders (also called Florins) AOA Angola, Kwanza ARS Argentina, Pesos AUD Australia, Dollars AWG Aruba, Guilders (also called Florins) AZN Azerbaijan, New Manats BAM Bosnia and Herzegovina, Convertible Marka BBD Barbados, Dollars BDT Bangladesh, Taka BGN Bulgaria, Leva BHD Bahrain, Dinars BIF Burundi, Francs BMD Bermuda, Dollars BND Brunei Darussalam, Dollars BOB Bolivia, Bolivianos BRL Brazil, Brazil Real BSD Bahamas, Dollars BTN Bhutan, Ngultrum BWP Botswana, Pulas BYR Belarus, Rubles BZD Belize, Dollars CAD Canada, Dollars CDF Congo/Kinshasa, Congolese Francs CHF Switzerland, Francs CLP Chile, Pesos CNY China, Yuan Renminbi COP Colombia, Pesos CRC Costa Rica, Colones CUP Cuba, Pesos CVE Cape Verde, Escudos CZK Czech Republic, Koruny DJF Djibouti, Francs DKK Denmark, Kroner DOP Dominican Republic, Pesos DZD Algeria, Algeria Dinars EEK Estonia, Krooni EGP Egypt, Pounds ERN Eritrea, Nakfa ETB Ethiopia, Birr EUR Euro Member Countries, Euro FJD Fiji, Dollars FKP Falkland Islands (Malvinas), Pounds GBP United Kingdom, Pounds GEL Georgia, Lari GGP Guernsey, Pounds GHS Ghana, Cedis GIP Gibraltar, Pounds GMD Gambia, Dalasi GNF Guinea, Francs GTQ Guatemala, Quetzales GYD Guyana, Dollars HKD Hong Kong, Dollars HNL Honduras, Lempiras HRK Croatia, Kuna HTG Haiti, Gourdes HUF Hungary, Forint IDR Indonesia, Rupiahs ILS Israel, New Shekels IMP Isle of Man, Pounds INR India, Rupees IQD Iraq, Dinars IRR Iran, Rials ISK Iceland, Kronur JEP Jersey, Pounds JMD Jamaica, Dollars JOD Jordan, Dinars JPY Japan, Yen KES Kenya, Shillings KGS Kyrgyzstan, Soms KHR Cambodia, Riels KMF Comoros, Francs KPW Korea (North), Won KRW Korea (South), Won KWD Kuwait, Dinars KYD Cayman Islands, Dollars KZT Kazakhstan, Tenge LAK Laos, Kips LBP Lebanon, Pounds LKR Sri Lanka, Rupees LRD Liberia, Dollars LSL Lesotho, Maloti LTL Lithuania, Litai LVL Latvia, Lati LYD Libya, Dinars MAD Morocco, Dirhams MDL Moldova, Lei MGA Madagascar, Ariary MKD Macedonia, Denars MMK Myanmar (Burma), Kyats MNT Mongolia, Tugriks MOP Macau, Patacas MRO Mauritania, Ouguiyas MUR Mauritius, Rupees MVR Maldives (Maldive Islands), Rufiyaa MWK Malawi, Kwachas MXN Mexico, Pesos MYR Malaysia, Ringgits MZN Mozambique, Meticais NAD Namibia, Dollars NGN Nigeria, Nairas NIO Nicaragua, Cordobas NOK Norway, Krone NPR Nepal, Nepal Rupees NZD New Zealand, Dollars OMR Oman, Rials PAB Panama, Balboa PEN Peru, Nuevos Soles PGK Papua New Guinea, Kina PHP Philippines, Pesos PKR Pakistan, Rupees PLN Poland, Zlotych PYG Paraguay, Guarani QAR Qatar, Rials RON Romania, New Lei RSD Serbia, Dinars RUB Russia, Rubles RWF Rwanda, Rwanda Francs SAR Saudi Arabia, Riyals SBD Solomon Islands, Dollars SCR Seychelles, Rupees SDG Sudan, Pounds SEK Sweden, Kronor SGD Singapore, Dollars SHP Saint Helena, Pounds SLL Sierra Leone, Leones SOS Somalia, Shillings SPL Seborga, Luigini SRD Suriname, Dollars STD Sao Tome and Principe, Dobras SVC El Salvador, Colones SYP Syria, Pounds SZL Swaziland, Emalangeni THB Thailand, Baht TJS Tajikistan, Somoni TMM Turkmenistan, Manats TND Tunisia, Dinars TOP Tonga, Pa'anga TRY Turkey, New Lira TTD Trinidad and Tobago, Dollars TVD Tuvalu, Tuvalu Dollars TWD Taiwan, New Dollars TZS Tanzania, Shillings UAH Ukraine, Hryvnia UGX Uganda, Shillings USD United States of America, Dollars UYU Uruguay, Pesos UZS Uzbekistan, Sums VEF Venezuela, Bolivares Fuertes VND Viet Nam, Dong VUV Vanuatu, Vatu WST Samoa, Tala XAF Central African CFA franc XAG Silver, Ounces XAU Gold, Ounces XBA European Composite Unit of Account XCD East Caribbean Dollars XDR International Monetary Fund (IMF) Special Drawing Rights XFU International Union of Railways UIC Franc XOF West African CFA franc XPD Palladium Ounces XPF Pacific Financial Community CFP franc XPT Platinum, Ounces YER Yemen, Rials ZAR South Africa, Rand ZMK Zambia, Kwacha ZWD Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Dollars Here's the list of currencies in a more usable format:

I'll post the rules here in a minute so you can see what it's all about. You could also go into the Contest Ended section and search in the "Search this form" box for Mastermind and look at a couple previous games - lots of fun.
I just need to figure out what it'll be! I'll post what it will be before we begin.
