[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 580384, member: 6786"] This one may be too hard, so I'll take it further. I mentioned two cases: 1. That it was in an even numbered box (2 or 4), in which case either 234 or 432 would [b][u]ALWAYS[/u][/b] work 2. That it was an odd numbered box. Trying the sequence of above may or may not have worked, but after these three tries, the mouse [b][u]MUST[/u][/b] now be in an even numbered box, so what two sequences would you next use to guarantee finding the [s]cat[/s] mouse within 6 tries?
