Strategies continued
Note: Let X be the number in each group for each letter
- Minimax: Minimize the worst case: min max X
- Minex: Minimize the average case: min ΣX²
- Cheater sequential: Guess each letter in the order
that it appears in the answer
- Cheater greedy: Guess the letter from the answer
that eliminates the most possibilities
- Cheater smart: Cheater greedy with the
ability to be wrong
