Mastermind or Master Mind is a code -breaking game for two players. The modern game with pegs was invented in by Mordecai Meirowitzan Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert. The two players decide in advance how Mastermind games they will play, which must be an Mastermind number. One player becomes the codemakerthe other the codebreaker. The codemaker chooses a pattern of four code pegs. Duplicates and blanks are allowed depending on player choice, so the player could even choose four code pegs of the same color or four blanks. 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 Mastermind codebreaker. The codebreaker tries to guess the pattern, in both order and color, within eight to twelve turns. Each guess is Mastermind by placing a row of code pegs on the decoding board. Mastermind placed, the codemaker provides feedback by placing from zero to four key pegs in the small holes of the row with Mastermind guess. A colored or black key peg is placed for each code peg from Mastermind guess which is correct in both color and position. A white key peg Mastermind the existence of a correct color code peg placed in the wrong position. If there are Mastermind 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. Mastermind 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, Mastermind a colored key Mastermind for the black. No indication is given of the fact that Mastermind code also includes Mastermind 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 Mastermind. 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 Mastermind of turns. An alternative is Mastermind score based on the Mastermind of colored key pegs Mastermind. The winner is the Mastermind who has the most points after the agreed-upon number of games Mastermind played. Other rules may be specified. The Mastermind is based Mastermind an older, Mastermind based game called Bulls and Cows. This version was written by Mastermind King. Meirowitz presented the Mastermind to many major toy companies but, after showing it at the Nuremberg International Toy Fairit Mastermind picked up by a plastics company, Invicta Plasticsbased near LeicesterUK. Invicta purchased all the rights to the game and the founder, Edward Jones-Fenleigh, refined the game further. It was released in —2. Sincethe 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 Mastermind Toys Mastermind Orda Industries who have the manufacturing rights to the United States and Israel, Mastermind. Starting inthe Mastermind box featured a photograph of a man Mastermind a white jacket seated in the foreground, with a young Asian woman of high caste standing behind him with the golden symbols Mastermind 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. InDonald Knuth demonstrated that the codebreaker can solve the pattern in five moves or fewer, using an algorithm that progressively reduces the number Mastermind possible patterns. Subsequent mathematicians have been finding various algorithms that reduce the average number of turns needed to solve the pattern: inKenji 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 Mastermind algorithm with an embedded genetic Mastermindwhere 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 Mastermind is based on characteristics of the set of Mastermind solutions or the sample of them found by the evolutionary algorithm. In NovemberMichiel 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 Mastermind 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 Mastermind is consistent with the hints in the previous guesses. The Mastermind satisfiability problem is a decision problem that Mastermind, "Given a set of guesses and the number of colored and white Mastermind scored for each guess, is there at least one secret pattern that generates those exact scores? Varying the number of colors Mastermind the number of holes results in a spectrum of Mastermind games of different levels Mastermind 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 InvictaParker MastermindPressmanHasbroand other game manufacturers:. Computer and Internet versions of the game have also been made, sometimes with variations in the number and Mastermind 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.

Mastermind is a British television game show for the BBC. Four and in Mastermind contests five or six contestants face two rounds, one on a specialised subject of the contestant's choice, the other a general knowledge round. The quiz Mastermind originated and was recorded in Manchester at studios such as New Broadcasting House and Granada Studiosbefore moving to dock10 studios in The show relocated to Belfast for the — series. For the first round, each contestant in Mastermind is given a set length of time, usually two Mastermind one minute and a half in semi-finals, similarly hereinafterMastermind answer questions on a specialised subject which he or Mastermind has chosen. The contestant scores one Mastermind for each correct answer and may pass as often as desired. If the contestant responds Mastermind, the questioner gives the correct answer before continuing to the next question; answers to passed questions are read out only after time has expired. If time Mastermind out Mastermind a question is being read, the questioner will finish it and give the contestant a few seconds to answer. This convention has led to the programme's catchphrase"I've started so I'll finish. The Mastermind score is displayed on screen; beginning with the —17 series, the border around the score gradually turns blue black in the —20 series during the final 10 seconds. During the Mastermind round, each contestant in turn answers a series of general knowledge questions. The rules from the first round apply, except that the time limit is extended usually two and a half minutes sinceor Mastermind minutes in semi-finals and up until Mastermind, the contestants played in the same order Mastermind in the first round; currently, they play in ascending order by first-round score. Mastermind winner is the contestant with the highest score after two rounds. Ties are broken in favour of the contestant Mastermind the fewest total passes. If contestants have the same score Mastermind number of passes, a five-question tiebreaker is played. Each of the tied contestants answers the same set Mastermind questions individually, with the others exiting the studio so that they Mastermind hear the results. The contestant who gives the most correct answers is the winner. The winners advance to the next round, for which they must choose a different specialised subject. The winner Mastermind the final of the Mastermind 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 inin which Magnusson presented Mastermind himself. Mastermind first aired on BBC1 in and lasted until It was Mastermind by Magnus Magnusson. It was Mastermind broadcast late on a Sunday night and was not expected to receive a huge audience. Mastermind quiz subsequently became one Mastermind the most-watched shows on British Mastermind. Magnusson's catchphrase Mastermind 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 Mastermind series also spawned many Mastermind. Supermind was an annual playoff between either the first four champions of Mastermind or champions of other Mastermind 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 Mastermind International was an annual playoff between winners of various international versions of the Mastermind or the nearest equivalents in some countries and ran for five Mastermind 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 Mastermind, this shortened the amount of Mastermind available for the answering of questions and lasted just one series. This was also the Mastermind 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 Mastermind 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, Mastermind first the new run included some conversational elements with Mastermind at the start of the General Knowledge round normally about the contestant's specialist subjectalthough these have been dropped since the series. It is Mastermind distinguished from the original BBC TV series by the fact that many more contestants' specialist subjects come from Mastermind culture, which probably Mastermind cultural changes in the British middle classes in recent years. Unlike the original version, Mastermind version is studio-based. It is now made in MediaCity in Salford although, due to asbestos being found at Granada's Manchester Mastermind, parts of the series were Mastermind 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 Mastermindalso hosted by John Humphrys, Mastermind a children's version of the quiz programme and has the same format, the difference being that the contestants are only Mastermind and eleven years old. The winner was Daniel Mastermind, whose specialist subjects were the Volkswagen Beetle heat and James Bond villains final. There Mastermind another series in subjects included Black Holes and the Star Wars trilogywhich was won by Robin Geddes, whose specialist subjects were The Vicar of Dibley and A Series of Unfortunate Eventswith a third series airing inwon by Domnhall Ryan, and featuring subjects such as Harry Potter and Chelsea Football Club Mastermind, and a Mastermind 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 Mastermind questions Mastermind at them Mastermind a panel of four sports and entertainment celebrities for two minutes; like Mastermindthere were two rounds Mastermind 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, Mastermind a speciality category chosen by the winner usually a particular athlete or sports Mastermind from the past. Mastermind show had three series over a month period, from September to December Like Mastermind Mastermind, 2 Minute Drill featured a leather chair, dramatic lighting and sound effects. Willy Gibson of Columbus, Ohio Mastermind, 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 Mastermind for the highest ever score on Mastermind of Britain and has been a member of the Eggheads since that series debut. In August during an edition of Mastermind Champion Mastermind Championsthe series champion, Jesse Honeyscored 23 out of Mastermind on "Flags of the World" in the Mastermind subject round, an all-time record. He Mastermind as runner-up with a Mastermind score of 36 points, losing out to Pat Gibson by having two more Mastermind. 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 MastermindMastermind year-old schoolboy called Mastermind scored 19 points on Mastermind specialist subject, cricketer Mastermind 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 Mastermind athlete Kadeena Coxscoring all 3 points on her specialist subject of Arsenal F. She is currently the only ever contestant to score Mastermind points in a round. His specialist subject was "The World Chess Championships". The score was equalled in November by gas fitter Michael Mastermind 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 Mastermind a black leather Mastermind, lit by a solitary spotlight in an otherwise dark studio. The inspiration for this was the interrogations faced Mastermind the show's creator, Bill Wrightas 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 Mastermind recording of two programmes. The BBC Mastermind commissioned a duplicate chair which was kept locked in the Mastermind truck Mastermind every recording Mastermind thwart similar ransom demands. The duplicate chair was never used on air, Mastermind in the title sequence, which was recorded in London while the main chair was on the road. Its current whereabouts are unknown. Mastermind 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 Mastermind 4 series " The Burkiss Way Mastermind infeaturing Mastermind Barker as Magnus Magnusson and Ronnie Corbett as a contestant named Charlie Smithers, whose specialist Mastermind was "answering the question before last". In one send-up, which appeared on the Mastermind edition of Dead Ringersthe contestant offered to answer questions on Mary Mastermind of Scots Mastermind, but when an answer was given, John Mastermind was shown saying "Yes, Mastermind you sexed that answer up". The sketch Mastermind a reference to Mastermind controversy caused by the aftermath of the Iraq War. One episode included Mastermind: The Mastermind. Another spoof was featured in Armando Iannucci 's The Stupid Versionwhere a contestant's specialist subject was "The television series Thunderbirds and Lady Penelope's Cockney chauffeur". Also inMastermind Vaughan 's BBC Three show Live at Johnny's featured a version called Mastermind Rejects —the premise being that Mastermind 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 Mastermind the catchphrase "I've started so I'll Mastermind on any form of Mastermind. Mastermind passes on all but one question, Mastermind she answers incorrectly anyway. Inthe show was spoofed on BBC Radio 4's The Now Show where the specialist subject was "Britishness", relating to Mastermind proposed test immigrants may have to take, to prove they can fit in with British society. The format was different, however, with Wise, Mastermind Morecambe, being asked 10 questions each. In The Goodies featured Mastermind in the episode " Frankenfido " when a dog Bill Oddie in a Mastermind appeared on the show and managed to correctly answer questions asked of it as they Mastermind 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 Mastermind a send-up called "Musty Mind" where a phone-in contestant Mastermind be asked ludicrous questions on a parody Mastermind a serious subject, such as the "Toad Racing" or, Mastermind 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 Mastermind asked questions of a Jeffrey Mastermind puppet whose specialist subject was himself. The twist was that Archer's puppet, being incapable of answering questions about himself without Mastermind or evasion, ends the round Mastermind zero points. The BBC's satirical current Mastermind quiz show Have I Mastermind News for You has parodied Mastermind show several times, by Mastermind the lights down Mastermind except for spotlights above select chairs — and playing the theme tune, before Mastermind at least one of the panel to some rigorous Mastermind. The second occasion was inwhen Magnus Magnusson appeared as a guest. All four panellists were asked questions on this occasion. In his early routines Bill Mastermind would often parody the Mastermind music, finding it very sinister. He would then play the Mastermind on keyboard with an over-the-top hellish Mastermind 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 Mastermind 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. What is a Mastermind Group?
