*scratches head*

oh man I think I'm even more confused!

I'm such a Bimbo

Oh, God, I'm sorry, it's my english, ain't as good... But let me try again:

OK, so first I play 3 red and 1 green. And nothing there. Great! 2 Colors eliminated.
Next row, I repeat 3-1 combination (3 blues, 1 yellow), and it says 1 color right but on the wrong position. Ok, so I'm guessing the color is yellow, cose if it was blue, there would be much bigger chanse that it is on the right position.
So, in 3. row I go Yellow, Orange, Orange, Orange and it says 2 colors right, none on the right possition. From this, I can tell that yellow is NOT on the 1. position, and orange has to be on the 1. position.
So, I play Orange, Yelow, Purple, Purple and it sais I got 3 right, right positions. Ok, so now I am 100% shure that the combo starts with Orng, Yell and has one purple eigther at 3 or at 4. All that is left for me is try to play with 1 more yellow (at 3 or 4), so I go: 
Orng, Yell, Purp, Yell - all 4 coulors are there, but 2 are on the wrong places.
So, what you got to do is switch 3 and 4 - and there you have it. The right combo.

Once you try it out, you'll see it's realy easy when you crack "the point of view"on mastermind

I can usually get the mastermind completed in about 30 seconds.
Here is what I do:
1. 4 reds. If it says i got any right, I put that number in the next spot.
2. xreds, the rest should be green
3. since you know how many reds you have in their are correct, the other number should be for the green.
4. Pay attention to the gray and white marks! Consider this: when you have 1 red and 3 green and it says you have 1 in the right spot and one in the wrong spot, it obviously means that your red is WRONG and a green goes there.
5. Keep this pattern up until you have all 4 spots. 

This can really minimize your guessing and thinking.

My only question is, if the money (or is it BA?) you get is based on time spent or number of trials.  I always seem to do well though- something like 72 last time.

I do like heatherbear...I go through all of the colors so I know how many of each are there.

I usually put two colors up at once, and then two random colors up......, I go from there....It gets easier once you are used to playing

I can only play once as well, I thought that was all we were allowed!

I play with two red and two green to start, and then two each of the blue and yellow, then work it out from there.

I usually complete in 6 moves

I'm pretty sure it's completely random. You get 10, 20, or 30 BD if you win.  It's just random, like the scratch cards, puzzles, and Sort Your Bag games.
