- Luxite, the vital mineral used for super-light travel, comes in five
- different varieties (represented here by the letters A-E). Your goal is
- to figure out which varieties can be found in each of the five different
- promising locations on this plot.
-
- To collect the information, guess any combination of four letters from A
- to E (for instance, "ABCD" or "AAAE"). Your detection equipment will
- tell you how many "near hits" you've made (where you guessed a type that
- does appear, but it's in the wrong place) and how many hits (where
- you've guessed the right type and the right place). For instance, if
- the correct combination is "AABE" and you guess "AEDC", you score one
- hit and one near miss.
-
- You have six chances to refine your guess. The amount of luxite you
- produce will be determined by how close you come on your final guess
- (and, of course the amount of luxite on the plot to begin with).
-
- Good luck!
