BAGELN
(Win95,98,ME,NT 4.0,WIN2000,XP,VISTA,WINDOWS7)

Thinking and puzzle game with a twist...


Creative Computing Morristown, New Jersey USA

In this game, the computer chooses a secret three-digit number from 0 to 9 and you
must try to guess it. Unfortunately, you only have 9 attempts! No digit is repeated.

After each guess, the computer gives clues in the following way:

PICO         - One digit is correct but in the wrong place.
FERMI       - One digit is in the right place.
BAGELN     - No digit is correct.

You learn to draw conclusions from these clues and will be able to improve your
results with more practice. There are a few different strategies for the Bagel game.
Once you have found a good strategy, try to improve it.
Or try a completely different strategy and compare whether it is better.

Although the program allows 9 attempts, you should be able to find out each number
in a maximum of eight attempts. The original authors of the original program (Basic)
are D.Resek and P.Rowe from Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, California.
Multimedia implementation of the program by Achim Kern KeHo Software 1998.

How do I play? To start a new game, simply press the "START" button.
Our barmaid Eva now turns over all 3 signs and 3 large Xs appear.
Now it's your turn. Clicking on a sign with the LEFT mouse button increases the number, and with the RIGHT mouse button you decrease it again. Once you have selected your 3 numbers, press the "GUESS" button.

Now Eva gives you the clues (Bageln, Pico, Fermi) as mentioned above.
If you manage it in less than 9 moves, you get praise.
Otherwise you will unfortunately be boooooed.....
