WOW, getting close.

I'll speed thing up once we get to 2,000 views on that thread. I may kick in some bonus cash too and we can do this again.

Okay, so with Steve's current clues there are only 35 possible numbers it could be! My guess is 1238

Now only 34 more possibilities.

hah, someone finally put it to a system.

- By giving that the last number is 8 that takes 90% of the possible numbers out of the pool.
- By giving that the first number is 1 that takes 50% of the possible numbers out of the pool.
- Adding those constraints together means that it's between 1008 and 1998 and it can only end in an 8, so that's a total of 100 possible numbers.

- By giving that someone has guessed within 20 means that you can do a chart and figure out who guessed what and how much off they are, then guess inside those numbers.
