How to Solve the Puzzles The goal is to guess the correct sequence of numbers hidden in the code of four number elements. There are six different numbers that could be in the code: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Numbers may or may not be repeated in the code. A solution will require you to use the clues provided: Hits and Misplaced. "H" in the puzzle grid refers to hits, or the number of correct numbers in their correct place in the code. "M" in the puzzle grid indicates misplaced, or the number of correct numbers not in their correct spot. In evaluating the guess with the secret code, hits take priority over misplaced in the clues. For example, if the secret code is "2 2 1 2", then the guess "1 2 2 0" would yield these clues: H =1, M=2.  There is one hit because the "2" in the hidden code's second position lines up with the guess' "2" in the second position. There are two misplaced elements in the quess because there is a "1" in both the code and the guess (although not in the same place), and because the "2" in the guess' 3rd position relates to a "2" in either, but not both, the code's first or fourth positions.
