Description
This is a type of mastermind game, but it is inverted. Three times in a row, the player creates a 10-digit ternary number (0,1,2, trits instead 0,1 bits) that the computer attempts to guess in ten tries or less. If the computer less than gets 1/3 correct, the player wins. Exactly 1/3 is a tie. More than 1/3 means the computer wins. (A ternary numeral system makes it very easy to use thirds compared to a binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal system)
