What's the connection between the galaxy and the game though?
There isn't. It's a much simpler connection.
Anyway, let's try something a bit devious...
Guess 6: 1263
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Cow Bull 1
When you can count to a hundred-million, Polly.
Then back to 0. Then to negative hundred-million.
Record it onto your computer and send us the file.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

Re: Cow Bull 1
Cow Bull 1 took 10 guesses, really. Guess #10 wasn't a guess.
In this game, we know that there is a 6 and once the result for guess #5 comes back we will also know where it is. The remaining 3 numbers can be chosen only from 1, 2, 3 and 4. If Wanna be math wiz's guess come back as three 'bovines', then we know that 1, 2 and 4 are the other numbers. If there are only two, then 3 is one of the others.
This post has so far been very logical, so let's balance it out with a hunch:
Guess 6: 1263
Why did the vector cross the road?
