| Sep 5, 2014 at 17:34 | comment | added | COTO | Be sure to select the winning entry before the bounty expires in 35 minutes. It's not the one currently selected. I believe the best is the Java 10,836. | |
| Sep 5, 2014 at 17:29 | comment | added | Geobits | My approach also guess individual words and doesn't "need" the final query for most cases, so I know what you mean. Either way, I'm quite impressed with all the top entries. | |
| Sep 5, 2014 at 17:23 | comment | added | COTO | Indeed. I say "useless" in the sense that the queries don't yield any new or useful information in my case. However, it's also fair to point out that this is a drawback of my particular approach. I was hoping that the max entropy queries would more than make up for it, but it looks like I'm about a hundred or two short. ;) | |
| Sep 5, 2014 at 17:15 | comment | added | Geobits | The "useless validation" queries aren't useless. Whether you look at it as password cracking or as Mastermind, you don't win until you actually log in or play the winning move. That said, damn well done. | |

| Aug 30, 2014 at 5:03 | comment | added | Geobits | This is very nice. Your Java is so Java-y it hurts. I'm not used to seeing code like that on this site :D | |
| Aug 30, 2014 at 4:11 | comment | added | COTO | I've updated to rev. 1, which includes the validating query. Not surprisingly, the number of queries is exactly 1,000 greater than the previous version. | |

| Aug 30, 2014 at 4:03 | comment | added | COTO | The current code doesn't include a "validating" query. I'll add one now. | |

ZPCs are fine, other entries are using them as well. I think the most common is ..
