Bulls and Cows

8105 has one bull and one cow. I believe that narrows it down to only one possibility, though it’s entirely possible that I’m mistaken.

I wonder what the secret number is. :thinking:
Can anybody help us here?

We are still waiting for someone to guess the secret number.


In the meantime I have a different kind of secret number:

:red_circle: :orange_circle: :green_circle: :large_blue_circle:

Here’s some information about it:

:red_circle: + :orange_circle: = :green_circle: + :large_blue_circle:

4 :green_circle: - 7 :red_circle: = :red_circle: - :orange_circle:

What is the number symbolized by the colored circles?


Or you can guess bibliophage’s secret number. :slight_smile:

0 0 0 0. What do I win?

:sweat_smile:

Yeah, I forgot to mention that the same rules apply.
You can only use a digit once in this number.

You were close though.

The solution is not unique. I have found three solutions so far.

You’re too good. This was just a distraction. A way to bump this thread.
I don’t think there are enough people to sustain this idea, so I’ll just let it die now.

I guess I’m restless. I’ve come up with additional clues so that the solution should not be ambiguous anymore:

So, this is a a different kind of secret number:

:red_circle: :orange_circle: :green_circle: :large_blue_circle:

Each digit must occur in this number only once.
Here is the complete (I hope) list of clues about it:

:red_circle: + :orange_circle: = :green_circle: + :large_blue_circle:

4 :green_circle: - 7 :red_circle: = :red_circle: - :orange_circle:

2 :green_circle: - 2 :red_circle: = 2 :orange_circle:

9 :red_circle: - 5 :green_circle: = :large_blue_circle:

What is the number symbolized by the colored circles?

8169?

8169? Please look at the first hint. Does 8+1 = 6+9 ? No, it doesn’t.
