Jäger, G., Peczarski, M.: The worst case number of questions in generalized AB game with and without white-peg answers. Discret. Appl. Math. 184, 20–31 (2015) strategy 4) Orange Orange Pink Orange Gives a white peg. So, we know the only unknown spot - the 3rd spot - has an orange color

Find the location of a red, if you know there's at least one red pin, but do not know in what of the holes it should be. You can find a pin by trying each of the locations. As an alternate color, we use colors we haven't tested yet. This way, we not only find the red pin but also additional information about other colors. The following is an example, if you know there's a red pin, but don't know in which one of the four holes it is. It will also give you the amount of green, yellow and pink. Result 3: If there's a second white peg, you know the second color should be on the location where the red pin is.Result 2: If there's one white peg, you know the red pin is on an incorrect place, and that the alternate color isn't in the code

Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned.

So it's in the second location. We also know there's no yellow color When you’re venturing out to the washing line with your freshly washed clothes and towels, where do you keep your pegs? We’ve got a few peg holder solutions to make the job much easier. If you like to carry the pegs, an over the shoulder bag made specifically for the job is a great option. Just reach around for a peg and you’re done. It’s waterproof and comes with a clip so you can leave it hanging outside all the time if you like.
