Extreme mode - how to interpret the answers

Post by Woodstock030 »

Dears,

I have just recently learned about this game. Now I am trying the extreme mode. I do get the rules, but I don't always get the logic of the answers. I have tried to figure out what the answers mean after the results are shown and I am unsure of the results if you ask a verifyer on a verifyer card that is not selected. It can give you a green tick but also a red cross. Not sure how to interpret the green tick. Please, can someone help me understand the logic?
Thanks

The computer will choose one of the two verificators for each letter, and will answer you depending to that. The verificator you click on between the two has no impact.

So per example, if you have (b+y+p<=>6) and (blue even or blue odd).

You start any code like 111. Than ask, let's said it's a green tick.
That mean that either (b+y+p<6) or (blue odd).

So then you enter code 211. Then ask, let's said it's red cross.
So it's blue odd.

Just to be clear, the "computer" will always be answering the same question for each verifier, and that is specified by the challenge. But you don't know which question it is, you only know it's one of the questions in the associated cards. In Romain's example, it would be one of:

* Is B+Y+P < 6?
* Is B+Y+P = 6?
* Is B+Y+P > 6?
* Is B even?
* Is B odd?

The "choice" is already done at the beginning of the game, there's no randomness invoved, of course.
