The above link takes you to a very interesting way of solving the classic game of Bulls and Cows. It uses an entropy-based decision algorithm. I realize this is asking a lot but I am not yet proficient enough in python to follow some of the methods.

There is a fair amount on the internet on both the game and on entropy-based machine learning. I will provide further information if anyone is interested.

For now I am looking for someone who can dig into this code and explain what's going on. I understand a lot of it but not enough to really *get it*.
