I am in no way a good Masterminder so I'm just going with whatever the majority of the group will do.

However, I do have a slight inkling on what kind of person Kin is. He is a person that often goes with the flow, but at times when he set his mind to something he will be so focused on it that he never is going to give it up. He relies heavily on luck even if he doesn't admit it and he is a bit slow from blows to the head from the time he was a mace man so sometimes he wont recognize an insult if it so slapped him silly in his face. He is fascinated by magic.

Nirur's got the right idea. Look on Wikipedia for strategies. There's an algorithm which guarantees a win in 5 turns, and one that guarantees a win in 6 with an average of 4.3.

 

What is the point of solving puzzles and riddles by wikipedia/googling them?

I cast ice-google on the door puzzle.

But seriously, I think the entire team should scramble around the door, trying to input each of our answers at the same time, and then end up fighting an impromptu deathmatch for the honor of going first.

I'll start off with your first answer Virroken:

[KineseN]

So, 1xxx, right?

That's why you make it some fiendish multi-layer game of chance rather than a static math problem. Or at the very least an eccentric riddle-asking gargoyle.

[dragnar]

So, 1xxx, right?

No. One of the four is 1, but there's no way to tell which one. Next: 1222

Crazy Old Man Gargoyle: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs at night?"
Party: "A man."
Crazy Old Man Gargoyle: "Nope, a crazy wizard's apprentice! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, POLYMORPH!"
Nirur has become a frog.
Party: "..."
Crazy Old Man Gargoyle: "BWAHA! Next riddle:"

[Nirur Torir]

Let's continue on with the 2222/3333/4444/5555 strategy. If we hit all four elements before reaching the end, stop. Otherwise, use four more guesses for this.

I ... I don't like that idea very much. It ends with me being weaker then a puppy.

Only until you get the next question wrong.

Actually, 1222 should be our next guess. It will confirm if there are any 2s(since there can't be more than 3) and might get the 1's position right.

Frog? Ehh... that's actually rather unlikely. Though I might offer a few riddles and take it on good faith that my players don't just type the riddle into google to find the answer, and offer some reward or something... Alternatively if anybody knows of good puzzle games that can't be solved that way, I'm open to suggestions.

So Virroken, since is next guess 2222 or 1222 or something different?

[Nirur Torir]

Changing my vote to 2212. It makes much more sense then 2222. (And the chances of the first symbol being in the first spot are a bit lower then it being elsewhere.)

Since I just remembered that Kilakan previously posted he was on vacation, in interest of moving this thing forward we'll go with that.

Known facts:
There is one 1. It is at {1}, {2}, or {4}.
There is one 2. It is at {1}, {2}, or {4}.

2331 next.
