Line 4:
::My understanding is that Bulls and Cows traditionally disallows repeated digits. However, the similar commercial board game Mastermind does allow duplicates. The way scoring works there, you get credit for at most one bull (black peg) or cow (white peg) per digit ''in the solution'' (not in the guess). So if the code is 1122 and you guess 1112, you get three bulls (for the first two 1's and the 2), but no cow for the third 1, because both 1's in the code are already accounted for. -- [[User:Markjreed|Markjreed]] 03:53, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
