	Mastermind (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mastermind is a simple code-breaking board game for two players, invented in 1970 by Mordecai Meirowitz, an Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert.
		Subsequent mathematicians have been finding various algorithms that reduce the average number of turns needed to solve the pattern: in 1993, Kenji Koyama and Tony W. Lai found a method that required an average of 4.340 turns to solve, with a worst case scenario of six turns.
		Mastermind is similar to moo, a computer program written in the late 1960s by J. Grochow at MIT in the PL/I computer language for the Multics operating system.

	Mastermind game, break the hidden code!
		astermind is a board game with an interesting history (or rather a legend?).
		Some game books report that it was invented in 1971 by Mordecai Meirowitz, an Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert.
		The idea of the game is for one player (the code-breaker) to guess the secret code chosen by the other player (the code-maker).

	Invitation To Mastermind
		Mastermind is a game played by two players, the codemaker and the codebreaker.
		Surprisingly [8], the game is hardly simplified: for a variety of strategies, the expected number of moves to solve either variant is very much the same.
		Stephan Rafler produced a sequence of 10 random guesses for the standard Mastermind (6 colors, 4 pegs) none of whose subsequences is sufficient to solve the puzzle.

	MasterMind - A Game of Skill and Logic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		MasterMind is a game of logic and skill (with a little luck thrown in with your initial chosen sequence).
		During game play, click on a peg to change its color by sequencing through the eight possible peg colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, fl and white.
		When the game is over, because you have "guessed" the peg color sequence, or you have used up all 12 of your chances, the color sequence you were attempting to guess is shown under the "hooded" last column.

	MasterMind - in Java (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Mastermind is actually an elegantly simple game which, when played correctly, will provide a mental workout.
		If a line has two fl dots and one white dot, you need to have two pegs in your solution that match in color and position, and one peg which matches in color and which does not match in position, no more and no less, or it will not be the correct solution.
		I'm unlikely to make any major changes to it, but if you have any comments, please send them to Nick Simicich and I'll be sure to read them sooner or later.

	Mastermind Card Game - How To Play
		The object of MASTERMIND (r) is to guess a secret code consisting of a series of 4 colored pegs.
		It is part of the challenge of the game for the Codebreaker to figure out which Code Pegs correspond to particular Key Pegs.
		The sequence of play is exactly the same as in Game No. 1, but the codemaker may leave 1or more Code Peg holes vacant, making the number of Code Pegs used in the game equivalent to 7.

	Investigations into the Master Mind Board Game
		As a quick memory refresher, in the game of Master Mind your job as the "codebreaker" is to deduce a hidden configuration of 4 coloured pegs ("the solution") chosen by another person ("the codemaker"), by making guesses at it.
		Consider the game of N-Master Mind, which uses the rules of the standard Master Mind but with N colours.

	Ivars Peterson's MathTrek: Mastering Mastermind, Science News Online (10/9/99)
		In Mastermind, a codemaker secretly selects a sequence of four colors, typically represented by colored pegs.
		In general, Mitchell notes, if two rows differ by only one color and the number of feedback pegs changes from one row to the next, then it must be the one changed color that caused the increase (or decrease) in response.
		The book’s many sample game situations give you something to work on when no one happens to be around to set the secret codes for you.

		The MasterMind game is based on an unknown sequence of symbols, numbers, colors or letters that you try to guess.
		Some variants of the game (such as Jotto) use a simpler scoring system and may not allow repeated letters in the secret answer.
		However, it is structured to find the solution in the fewest number of guesses, without incurring sizable storage requirements for the program or excessive computation times for each move.
