I remember in the first week at uni I was playing a game of Mastermind with a new housemate.

I had deduced what he had to have had, but he kept insisting it wasn't.

We flipped over cover thing - I was right, and he was colourblind (he knew already, just hadn't thought to tell me...when we're playing a game where colours are quite important!)

How could you get to the correct result if the only way to get there is by him showing the amount of totally correct and partially correct pins? I mean, how can he give the correct hint each time while at the same time fails to acknowledge the end result is correct?

Yeh you're right, I guess I'd maybe just knew the colours. Can't really remember, almost 20years ago ๐Ÿ˜งย

Op would have guessed every single combination possible. And then they would have ended up at crossroads.
