The latest Legion trivia devolved into a guessing game which I treated like Mastermind and then I thought why not do it more often?

How to play:
The current winner, hereinafter known as the Legion Leader, picks a group of Legionnaires numbering at least 3 and at most 6 that have something in common, and announces how many there are. (3 may be too few with so many options and 6 may be easier to get a hit but harder to get them all.)

The guessers, hereinafter known as Legion Applicants, list the appropriate number of Legionnaires.

The Legion Leader responds with which Legion Applicant had how many correct. Note that the order is generally not important (unless the current Legion Leader decides it is because of the "reason").

Using the principles of the logic puzzle game Mastermind the Legion Applicants revise their guesses and the game continues.

Once a Legion Applicant has guessed at least half correctly, even if they aren't sure yet which ones are correct, they may also suggest what the Legionnaires have in common.

The First Legion Applicant to correctly list all the Legionnaires in the group and what they have in common becomes the new Legion Leader and the game begins again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know logic puzzles aren't everyone's cup of tea and there are a lot more Legionnaires to choose from than in normal Mastermind so I don't know how well this will work. Let's just try it out.

I am thinking of a group of 3 Legionnaires with something in common.

Great to see the enthusiasm.

Quis: 0 (Zero is a good result in Mastermind because it completely eliminates specific possibilities.)
Ibby: 1
Thoth: 0 (Probably be a few zeroes at the start of any round with all the eras and legionnaires to choose from.)
Set: 1
EDE: 0

That's 9 Legionnaires eliminated so far. Keep 'em coming!

Everyone gets 0 except for Quis who has all three!
(Quicker than I expected but a smaller group may make that easier.)

Now can he state the thing they have in common?

Quis has first shot at this but if he gets it wrong anyone can guess and whoever guesses correctly gets the win.

These were Supergirl?s three girlfriends in, I believe, her second encounter with the Legion.

Cool. I was like 'first three lady Legionnaires!' 'Ooh, all three played a prank on Superboy in the 20th century once!' but that's yet another thing they have in common. smile
