Challenge #6

[Artis]

Oops, my bad. So how about Blue, Purple, Orange, Blue, Black.

I'd say either this or Blue, Pink, Orange, Blue, Black

Let's go with yours.

[Stacey]

Ok Jeff. Blue, Pink, Orange, Blue, Black.

[Carter]

What should our first guess be? Should we just do basic ones like Red Black Yellow Green?

[Artis]

The reason I like guesses all 5 is one color is because in no more than 8 guesses we're guaranteed to know how many of each color there is, and then we just need to arrange them. But I don't know if that's the most efficient way to do this, it just seems very safe.

Good idea!!

Don't be sorry, that's a big time save, thank you

[Stacey]

Lets do Artis one colour idea!

[Carter]

All black, I can post

[Carter]

Or Artis can do all green, that works too

[Artis]

Sorry, i posted. we should agree on one person to post everything now though

No worries, you were right anyway. All red next?

[Carter]

I'm gonna be quiet now cuz I'm screwing us up, sorry guys

[Artis]

Actually my internet has been slightly unreliable the past few days. Carter should take over as the only one posting.

[Carter]

Ok, should I do red or blue next?

[Kimmi]

do blue

[Artis]

Ok, should I do red or blue next?

I posted again just because I wasn't sure you would read my post in time. I just did black, red was the last one we did.

[Carter]

Ok, Artis ended up posting black, so I'll do blue for round 5

[Artis]

So we've guessed green, red, and black so far. Just do whatever after this point, it doesn't matter the order.
