摘要 Bulls-and-Cows (BAC) is a popular guessing game worldwide. Players try to find opponents` answers via clues provided by the opponents. Some theoretical analyses indicate that, on average, an optimal strategy takes 5.2131 guesses to find the answers for four-digit games. In this paper, alternative methods were explored to realize this theoretical optimality. The methods include a basic filtering method, different ways to recommend the candidate answers, and a machine-learning based method. The best performing combination of non-deterministic methods identified the correct answers with 5.3135 guesses in 504,000 trials. In addition, we were able to find the answers for five-digit and six-digit BAC games with 5.7800 and 6.3999 guesses.
