Re: Cow Bull 1
so, that leaves us with 204, 274, and 294, right?
Guess#1: 246 (1b,1c)
Guess#2: 268 (1b)
Guess#3: 135 (nil)
So, I guess I'll use this guess.
Guess#4: 279 
Hope i did right.

That was, indeed, a very good guess.
Well done, JaneFairfax!

Okay, I shall host the next game. Start guessing!

All I knew was that the last digit must be 1. I didnt know what the other digits were. That was a lucky guess, to be sure. 
Anyway, for the next game
