Color Mastermind Puzzle

[rogerrkh]

This is based on the game of Mastermind. The idea is to figure out the sequence of 6 chosen colors. You choose, 6 colors, the computer then tells you
(1) how many colors are correct and in the correct position, typically a black indicator and
(2) how many colors are correct but in an incorrect position, typically a white indicator.

REMEMBER The computer answers ALL correct colours in correct sequence and then correct colours out of sequence.

e.g. The computer selects the following colours:
Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Magenta, Green
and you enter:
Orange, Black, White, Pink, Magenta, Red
then the computer would respond with 1 BLACK and 1 White. This DOES not means that the first colour, namely Orange, is correct it means that One of your colours is in the correct sequence and one is not. It does not tell you which one.
