Deduce the Digits (2 Players)

Materials Needed:
• pencil
• paper


1. Player 1 writes a 2-digit number on a piece of paper and turns it over so that Player 2 cannot see it.

2. Player 2 guesses a 2-digit number.
• If neither of the digits in Player 2’s number matches any digit in the hidden number, Player 1 must say “Miss.”
• If one of the digits guessed matches one of the digits in the hidden number, and it is in the correct decimal place, Player 1 must say “Hit.”
• If one of the digits guessed matches one of the digits in the hidden number, but it is in the wrong decimal place, Player 1 must say “Wing.”

3. Player 2 uses the results of the first guess to make a second guess. Play continues until Player 2 either guesses the number, or has made 8 unsuccessful guesses.

4. Players switch roles, and play again.

5. Points are awarded according to the table. The winner is the first player to reach or exceed 25 points.


Example:
Hidden number: 39
Player’s guess: 23

The digit 3 matches one of those in the hidden number, but is in the wrong decimal place. Award 1 wing.
Player takes 5 guesses to get the correct answer. Number of points earned: 6
