Da rules:

I have a secret code written down. It is made up of numbers separated by hyphens. Here is an example of what the code might look like:

1-2-3-4

You have to guess the code. If one digit is correct and in the correct space, I will reply with a !. If one digit is correct but in the wrong space, I will reply with a ?.

Get cracking, guys!

Puzzle #1: Four digits, maxvalue is 4

This puzzle can only be bruteforced :x

I like the idea though.

It's not brute force, more like process of elimination.

Think of it like Guess Who? for brainiacs.

I've never liked the ambiguity of mastermind's rules.

Let's say the secret code is 1133, and I guess 3444.

Would that be ?, because I put one 3 in the wrong place? Or would it be ?? because there are two correct places for it?

The opposite gives the same problem, if the code is 3444 and I guess 1133, is that ?? because there are two out-of-place 3's? Or ? because there's only one place for them?

Anonymous 09/08/12 (Sat) 01:30:48 No.1566

I was about to dump a list of 0000-9999 until my smart and handsome friend pointed out that the max variable for each place was 4.

Instead, I'm going to dump a list of 0000-4444 because there's no rule against doing that.

However, it can be deduced that I only needed to post parts of the list after the 0XXX category and with two ones and possibly a three placed somewhere in there because of the OP's "hints"

>1625 got two places correct, >>1558 got one place incorrect but with one correct number, obviously the 1. Two isn't in the equation at all, which means that 0000-0444 and 2000-2444 aren't correct. The other two numbers in >>1558 were out of range, of course.

XXXX, where !(X=(0&&2)) && (X=(1&&3)) at this point. Four hasn't been tested as of yet. Either way the number isn't within the range of 0000-0444 and 2000-2444.

If we assume 4 isn't correct either, that only leaves numbers 1 and 3.

Or something like that. I could have had the decency to test 4 first but I was brought up without learning how to be decent.

Three of them are correct. There are three more digits left to test. That makes this simple.

5 has been eliminated. I'm going to stop with the WXYZ stuff for a while.

Only one way to know for sure if five is eliminated with 5-5-5-5, and if it isn't part of the equation it can serve as a placeholder while I eliminate 2, 1, and 0.

5-2-5-5

I need to download more pictures of hams to fill my sick desire of having pictures of ham on my hard drive. I store them in a folder labeled "Porn" so if someone goes snooping on my hard drive they get this weird idea that I get my rocks off to cooked pig.

In the WXYZ format,
W!=6
X?=4
Y!=3
Y!=1

Because 4 wasn't tested in the X position, it's entirely possible that that is it's spot.
