so what we know is that the only numbers available in the code are either 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 or 0.

but wait, what is this?

3 and 6 are not in the code, we know.
we kept 5 and 8 from the previous code, and switched their places entirely, yet still got an X?
so this means that either 5 or 8 is in their correct position, and that either 5 or 8 is somewhere else in the code.

BUT WAIT.

from the previous guess, where 5 and 8 were also included, it means that there is no 7 in the code either!
so now we're working with only 4, 5, 8, 9 or 0.
and we know that the code is either
---8 or
8--- or
-5-- or
---5

[.:FancyPants:.]

ugh forget

well im double posting because editing will make it too complicated to get all of this together.
ben you guessed a little strangely. unfortunately your guess gives us two entire different scenarios:

so one way it could go is that it was indeed 8---
which means that it's either
85-- or
8--5
and it also means neither the 0 or the 4 was in there.
so now we only have 5, 8, or 9.

OR

the 8 is not part of the code
and somehow you've managed to guess the position of either the 0 or the 4
in which case the numbers we have to work with are
4, 5, 9, and 0.
and the code is either
-0-- or
---4

i'm willing to bet on the second case so
let's try 0954.
i'm hoping for a [X] [/] [/] [/].
but if we get a [X] [X] [/] [/] that would also be nice.

damn fancypants you are an arg master!!!

*whistles*

[.:FancyPants:.]

alright well then in that case it was the first forget
and maybe a combination of the second DOUBLE forget
well let's guess as if it were the first and combine these two results, i'm think we can confirm the position of at least one number.

so

so one way it could go is that it was indeed 8---
which means that it's either
85-- or
8--5
and it also means neither the 0 or the 4 was in there.
so now we only have 5, 8, or 9.

let's try 8512
i don't want to get a weird unknown result so the 1 2 is a null place
either we'll get [X] [X] [ ] [ ] best case
or [X] [/] [ ] [ ] which is also very good
or we get [X] [ ] [ ] [ ] which will be a little more confusing
if we get [/] [/] [ ] [ ] i'll have to work it out again
and if we get [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] or [/] [ ] [ ] [ ] then im so loving done

im not absolutely smash-face-on-desk stupid at this, hooray!!
certainly the rest of you can finish this with 15 guesses left
just remember that you're working with 4, 5, 8, 9, and 0.
wait hold on i have to go back a bit

wait, what???

bbbbut the 8 is the only right number
so that means neither the 0 or the 4 are in there!!??

so only 9 is left??

but surely --99 (<- don't use this) wouldn't be the an-

You certainly will stop soon ;)

[.:FancyPants:.]

about what

that you actually used that suggestion but you know whatever, i guess it works.
im going to stop because i dont want to do like the entire thing lol
(pst it's either 858- or 85-0!!!)

[childofdarkness016]

so only 9 is left??

7 is still a valid number, right?

WRONG DON'T USE THIS.

[TristanLuigi]

Jesus Christ it will take 3 guesses max if you don't do anything blatantly handicapped.
