About Logical number game Bulls&Cows

Bulls and Cows is an old codebreaking mind or paper&pencil logical (number) game

Bulls and Cows (also known as Cows and Bulls or Pigs and Bulls or Bulls and Cleots) is an old codebreaking mind or paper and pencil game for two or more players, predating the similar commercially marketed board game Mastermind.

It is a game with numbers or words that may date back a century or more. It is played by two opponents.

On a sheet of paper, the players each write a 4digit secret number. The digits must be all different.

Then, in turn, the players try to guess their opponent's number who gives the number of matches.

If the matching digits are in their right positions, they are "bulls", if in different positions, they are "cows".

The first one to reveal the other's secret number wins the game.

As the "first one to try" has a logical advantage, on every game the "first" player changes.

In some places, the winner of the previous game will play "second". Sometimes, if the "first" player finds the number, the "second" has one more move to make and if he also succeeds, the result is even.

The game may also be played by two teams of 2–3 players. The players of every team discuss before making their move, much like in chess.

A computer program moo, written in 1970 by J. M. Grochow at MIT in the PL/I computer language for the Multics operating system, was amongst the first Bulls and Cows computer implementations, inspired by a similar program written by Frank King in 1968 and running on the Cambridge University mainframe.
