[MASTERMIND]
There is a code. You must guess it.

This is a forum version of the board game Mastermind. The concept of simple: guess numbers until you get it right; however, you have some information to work off of. After a guess, I will post a response in the form of a colored version of the code. If a number is...
  • RED  : That number is incorrect; it does not appear in the code.
  • AMBER: That number is misplaced; it appears in the code, but in a different place.
  • GREEN: That number is correct; it is the right number in the right place.
You have a limited number of guesses to get the code right. Good luck! (Digits are 0-9, naturally. Code is randomly generated, don't bother with trying to guess special numbers.)

Game 1: 4 decimal digits
Passed in 4 guesses out of 15
Difficulty: 10,000/15 = 673
Code: 9583

Game 2: 4 hexadecimal digits
Passed in 10 guesses out of 15
Difficulty: 65,536/15 = 4369
Code: 3123

Game 3: 4 letters
Not yet started
Difficulty: 456,976/15 = 30495
Code: ????

(just going with first come first serve unless someone gives reasons why a guess should be ignored or it is blatant trolling such as "0000!" halfway through the game)
