That's neat, I like the ones that use math to deduce your number. Generally you pick a number and through some variables based on that number it calculates back what your number was. This one just grouped the number with specific color and then another group in the house. combination of which color you picked and which house returns the correct number. I don't knowwhy I'm such a geek about these things...

I like these kinds of puzzles too. I spend a bit of time with them to figure out how to do them.

BroBob has sent me several and we usually discuss how it's done.

Lotsa fun!!! I like!

I must have screwed up (again). The first time I tried it, it was wrong.

Every time after that it found the right number. I wonder what I did wrong the first time???

It appears they use the process of elimination (color/house/etc) to determine your number then just display the number under the 1st door you select. You might assume the numbers are already behind the doors before you make a selection but considering this is a computer program, it's not wise to make that assumption.

Still a neat little flash proggy.

Yeah, I'd say that was a distinct possibility.

You have 5 numbers in 5 colors. Then the other one is the houses. If you line it up on a spread sheet it's real easy. The other 2 steps are distracters. You pick "Green" then "House A" and you have it. the answer is 12. And like you said, the first door will be the correct then random numbers on the other doors. Like I said, the fun ones are the higher math puzzles.
