A new algorithm with an embedded genetic algorithm , where a large set of eligible codes is collected throughout the different generations. The quality of each of these codes is determined based on a comparison with a selection of elements of the eligible set. Since this combination is not known, the score is based on characteristics of the set of eligible solutions or the sample of them found by the evolutionary algorithm. In November , Michiel de Bondt proved that solving a Mastermind board is an NP-complete problem when played with n pegs per row and two colors, by showing how to represent any one-in-three 3SAT problem in it. He also showed the same for Consistent Mastermind playing the game so that every guess is a candidate for the secret code that is consistent with the hints in the previous guesses. The Mastermind satisfiability problem is a decision problem that asks, "Given a set of guesses and the number of colored and white pegs scored for each guess, is there at least one secret pattern that generates those exact scores? Varying the number of colors and the number of holes results in a spectrum of Mastermind games of different levels of difficulty. Another common variation is to support different numbers of players taking on the roles of codemaker and codebreaker. The following are some examples of Mastermind games produced by Invicta , Parker Brothers , Pressman , Hasbro , and other game manufacturers:. Computer and Internet versions of the game have also been made, sometimes with variations in the number and type of pieces involved and often under different names to avoid trademark infringement. Mastermind can also be played with paper and pencil. There is a numeral variety of the Mastermind in which a 4-digit number is guessed. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Willy Gibson of Columbus, Ohio , was the grand champion of the first two series; he was defeated in the second round of the third and final series. In addition he holds the record for the highest ever score on Brain of Britain and has been a member of the Eggheads since that series debut. In August during an edition of Mastermind Champion of Champions , the series champion, Jesse Honey , scored 23 out of 23 on "Flags of the World" in the specialist subject round, an all-time record. He finished as runner-up with a combined score of 36 points, losing out to Pat Gibson by having two more passes. Honey's score was equalled by Iwan Thomas, who scored a record 23 in two-and-half minutes in the general knowledge round in On Junior Mastermind in February , an year-old schoolboy called Callum scored 19 points on his specialist subject, cricketer Andrew Flintoff. However, he did not win, being beaten by one point after achieving a final score of The current record for the overall lowest score is 3 points, set on 21 December in a Celebrity edition by parasport athlete Kadeena Cox , scoring all 3 points on her specialist subject of Arsenal F. She is currently the only ever contestant to score no points in a round. His specialist subject was "The World Chess Championships". The score was equalled in November by gas fitter Michael Burton; he only scored 2 for his specialist subject, Angels. The following is a list of Mastermind champions since It featured the winners of previous series of Mastermind. Contestants sit in a black leather chair, lit by a solitary spotlight in an otherwise dark studio. The inspiration for this was the interrogations faced by the show's creator, Bill Wright , as a prisoner of war in World War II. On one occasion the original black chair was stolen by a group of students during the BBC crew's evening meal break, and held to ransom to raise money for charity. This prank delayed the recording of two programmes. The BBC subsequently commissioned a duplicate chair which was kept locked in the scenery truck at every recording to thwart similar ransom demands. The duplicate chair was never used on air, except in the title sequence, which was recorded in London while the main chair was on the road. Its current whereabouts are unknown. The programme has been the target for many television spoofs, including a Two Ronnies sketch written by David Renwick a less polished version had previously appeared in the Radio 4 series " The Burkiss Way " in , featuring Ronnie Barker as Magnus Magnusson and Ronnie Corbett as a contestant named Charlie Smithers, whose specialist subject was "answering the question before last". In one send-up, which appeared on the television edition of Dead Ringers , the contestant offered to answer questions on Mary Queen of Scots , but when an answer was given, John Humphrys was shown saying "Yes, but you sexed that answer up". The sketch was a reference to the controversy caused by the aftermath of the Iraq War. One episode included Mastermind: The Opera. Another spoof was featured in Armando Iannucci 's The Stupid Version , where a contestant's specialist subject was "The television series Thunderbirds and Lady Penelope's Cockney chauffeur". Also in , Johnny Vaughan 's BBC Three show Live at Johnny's featured a version called Mastermind Rejects —the premise being that the specialist subjects were too ludicrously obscure even for Mastermind. In the final show of the series, Magnus Magnusson took over as the quizmaster—it was the last time he would utter the catchphrase "I've started so I'll finish" on any form of Mastermind. She passes on all but one question, which she answers incorrectly anyway. In , the show was spoofed on BBC Radio 4's The Now Show where the specialist subject was "Britishness", relating to the proposed test immigrants may have to take, to prove they can fit in with British society. The format was different, however, with Wise, then Morecambe, being asked 10 questions each. In The Goodies featured Mastermind in the episode " Frankenfido " when a dog Bill Oddie in a suit appeared on the show and managed to correctly answer questions asked of it as they all had answers that could be represented by growls, such as 'bark' and 'ruff'. In the late s, Noel Edmonds ' radio Sunday lunchtime show used to feature a send-up called "Musty Mind" where a phone-in contestant would be asked ludicrous questions on a parody of a serious subject, such as the "Toad Racing" or, on another occasion, "The Cultural and Social History of Rockall" — Rockall being a bald lump of uninhabited rock in the eastern Atlantic. In one of the parodies the show was called "Masterbrane". Spitting Image used the Mastermind format in a sketch where a Magnus Magnusson puppet asked questions of a Jeffrey Archer puppet whose specialist subject was himself. The twist was that Archer's puppet, being incapable of answering questions about himself without exaggeration or evasion, ends the round with zero points. The BBC's satirical current affairs quiz show Have I Got News for You has parodied the show several times, by turning the lights down — except for spotlights above select chairs — and playing the theme tune, before subjecting at least one of the panel to some rigorous questioning. The second occasion was in , when Magnus Magnusson appeared as a guest. All four panellists were asked questions on this occasion. In his early routines Bill Bailey would often parody the Mastermind music, finding it very sinister. He would then play the music on keyboard with an over-the- top hellish sounding climax. In the last episode of " Is It Bill Bailey? As the camera panned out it became evident that the chair itself was on a platter, slowly turning in a giant microwave oven. Unbeknown to the experts, the show was a hoax, and incorrect answers were included to frustrate them whenever they supplied the correct answer. Berry chose his specialist subject as Alton Towers and only scored 3 points before a blackout, in which he apparently shoots the host after being told to sit down. Fulcher chooses ' Anglo-Saxon architecture ', though displays no knowledge of the subject and makes up answers such as 'Toto from The Wizard Of Oz ' and ' Elvis ', and scoring no points. Using the back-up chair from the Mastermind studio, each team member chose a specialist subject, only to have them swapped before being questioned in the chair on their randomly selected subject and general knowledge.

Edit Did You Know? The winner of the final of the BBC version is declared "Mastermind" for that year and is the only contestant to receive a prize, in the form of a cut-glass engraved bowl. During Magnus Magnusson's tenure as presenter, the trophy was specially manufactured by Caithness Glass. A special guest would always be invited to present the trophy to the winner, with the exception of the final edition in , in which Magnusson presented it himself. Mastermind first aired on BBC1 in and lasted until It was presented by Magnus Magnusson. It was originally broadcast late on a Sunday night and was not expected to receive a huge audience. The quiz subsequently became one of the most-watched shows on British television. Magnusson's catchphrase "I've started so I'll finish" was also the title of his history of the show. The last programme of the original series was filmed at St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney. The original series also spawned many specials. Supermind was an annual playoff between either the first four champions of Mastermind or champions of other TV quiz shows including Mastermind from or It ran for three years between and Cup Final Mastermind was an annual playoff between experts and supporters from the FA Cup Finalist teams they are supporting. It ran from and Mastermind International was an annual playoff between winners of various international versions of the show or the nearest equivalents in some countries and ran for five years between and Mastermind Champions was a 3-part competition where the first ten champions of the show compete to become the Mastermind Champion of Champions. It was hosted by Peter Snow. Mastermind then moved to Discovery Channel hosted by Clive Anderson in With Discovery Channel having commercials, this shortened the amount of time available for the answering of questions and lasted just one series. This was also the first to go 'interactive'. By using the red button viewers could play the general knowledge section throughout the series. These questions had been written specifically to afford both standard and multiple-choice format in presentation. There was a one-off competition between the four highest scoring viewers. Whereas the original series kept talk to a minimum, asking contestants only their name, occupation and specialist subject, at first the new run included some conversational elements with contestants at the start of the General Knowledge round normally about the contestant's specialist subject , although these have been dropped since the series. It is also distinguished from the original BBC TV series by the fact that many more contestants' specialist subjects come from popular culture, which probably reflects cultural changes in the British middle classes in recent years. Unlike the original version, this version is studio-based. It is now made in MediaCity in Salford although, due to asbestos being found at Granada's Manchester studios, parts of the series were filmed at Yorkshire Television 's Leeds studios. It came back in as a part competition this time entitled Sport Mastermind. Mastermind Champion of Champions was a 5-part competition that featured previous Mastermind champions. Junior Mastermind , also hosted by John Humphrys, is a children's version of the quiz programme and has the same format, the difference being that the contestants are only ten and eleven years old. The winner was Daniel Parker, whose specialist subjects were the Volkswagen Beetle heat and James Bond villains final. There was another series in subjects included Black Holes and the Star Wars trilogy , which was won by Robin Geddes, whose specialist subjects were The Vicar of Dibley and A Series of Unfortunate Events , with a third series airing in , won by Domnhall Ryan, and featuring subjects such as Harry Potter and Chelsea Football Club , and a fourth series in won by Robert Stutter and a fifth series later that year won by David Verghese. The Junior version was cancelled after the two series. Contestants faced questions fired at them by a panel of four sports and entertainment celebrities for two minutes; like Mastermind , there were two rounds of questions, but the first round had each panellist's questions representing a different sports category pertaining to their area of expertise, and the second round had no categories and the contestant could not control who asked the questions; they were fired at random. The contestant with the highest score after two rounds would win a cash prize, and would have a chance to double those winnings by correctly answering the "Question of Great Significance," as host Kenny Mayne called it, from a speciality category chosen by the winner usually a particular athlete or sports team from the past. The show had three series over a month period, from September to December Like Mastermind , 2 Minute Drill featured a leather chair, dramatic lighting and sound effects. Willy Gibson of Columbus, Ohio , was the grand champion of the first two series; he was defeated in the second round of the third and final series. In addition he holds the record for the highest ever score on Brain of Britain and has been a member of the Eggheads since that series debut.

In the instance that blanks are not elected to be a part of the game, the codebreaker may not use blanks in order to establish the final code. The chosen pattern is placed in the four holes covered by the shield, visible to the codemaker but not to the codebreaker. The codebreaker tries to guess the pattern, in both order and color, within eight to twelve turns. Each guess is made by placing a row of code pegs on the decoding board. Once placed, the codemaker provides feedback by placing from zero to four key pegs in the small holes of the row with the guess. A colored or black key peg is placed for each code peg from the guess which is correct in both color and position. A white key peg indicates the existence of a correct color code peg placed in the wrong position. If there are duplicate colours in the guess, they cannot all be awarded a key peg unless they correspond to the same number of duplicate colours in the hidden code. For example, if the hidden code is white-white-black-black and the player guesses white-white-white-black, the codemaker will award two colored key pegs for the two correct whites, nothing for the third white as there is not a third white in the code, and a colored key peg for the black. No indication is given of the fact that the code also includes a second black. Once feedback is provided, another guess is made; guesses and feedback continue to alternate until either the codebreaker guesses correctly, or twelve or ten, or eight incorrect guesses are made. Traditionally, players can only earn points when playing as the codemaker. The codemaker gets one point for each guess the codebreaker makes. An extra point is earned by the codemaker if the codebreaker is unable to guess the exact pattern within the given number of turns. An alternative is to score based on the number of colored key pegs placed. The winner is the one who has the most points after the agreed-upon number of games are played. Other rules may be specified. The game is based on an older, paper based game called Bulls and Cows. This version was written by Frank King. Meirowitz presented the idea to many major toy companies but, after showing it at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair , it was picked up by a plastics company, Invicta Plastics , based near Leicester , UK. Invicta purchased all the rights to the game and the founder, Edward Jones- Fenleigh, refined the game further. It was released in —2. Since , the rights to Mastermind have been held by Invicta Plastics. They originally manufactured it themselves, though they have since licensed its manufacture to Hasbro worldwide, with the exception of Pressman Toys and Orda Industries who have the manufacturing rights to the United States and Israel, respectively. Starting in , the game box featured a photograph of a man in a white jacket seated in the foreground, with a young Asian woman of high caste standing behind him with the golden symbols of office visible on her sari, denoting the power and intellect behind the throne. The two amateur models Bill Woodward and Cecilia Fung reunited in June to pose for another publicity photo. Before asking for a best strategy of the codebreaker one has to define what is the meaning of "best": The minimal number of moves can be analyzed under the conditions of worst and average case and in the sense of a minimax value of a zero-sum game in game theory. In , Donald Knuth demonstrated that the codebreaker can solve the pattern in five moves or fewer, using an algorithm that progressively reduces the number of possible patterns. Subsequent mathematicians have been finding various algorithms that reduce the average number of turns needed to solve the pattern: in , Kenji Koyama and Tony W. The minimax strategy of the codemaker consists in a uniformly distributed selection of one of the patterns with two or more colors. A new algorithm with an embedded genetic algorithm , where a large set of eligible codes is collected throughout the different generations. The quality of each of these codes is determined based on a comparison with a selection of elements of the eligible set. Since this combination is not known, the score is based on characteristics of the set of eligible solutions or the sample of them found by the evolutionary algorithm. In November , Michiel de Bondt proved that solving a Mastermind board is an NP-complete problem when played with n pegs per row and two colors, by showing how to represent any one-in-three 3SAT problem in it.

But it takes a lot of smart logistics not to mention quite a few Facilitators to run the Hot Seats , so not every large group program can call itself a true mastermind group. Even Benjamin Franklin belonged to such a group, which he called a Junto. Napoleon Hill wrote about the mastermind group principle as:. Your mastermind partners give you feedback, help you brainstorm new possibilities, and set up accountability structures that keep you focused and on track. You create a community of supportive colleagues who brainstorm together to move the members to new heights. Being a good mastermind group member creates massive value for you and everyone in your group. Your mastermind group is like having an objective board of directors, a success team, and a peer advisory group — all rolled into one.
