The computer calculates a combination of five characters (each between A and J) and you have to try to find out the combination the computer has calculated. Your questions to the computer are also combinations of five characters (each between A and J). You get sets of black and/or white blocks as answers to your questions. If you get a black block as answer it means that there is one character in your try at the correct position (but you don't know which one it is). If you get a white block as answer it means that there is a character in your guess that also occurs in the solution, but at another position (but you don't know which one it is and at which position it would be correct).
