Lets look at CLUNG = 2

Could be CL, CU, CN, CG, LU, LN, LG, UN, UG or NG

if CL, then From FRUIT = 1 can't be FR as CL is first nor U as CLUNG = 2 would mean not U. ALERT = 0 means FRUIT = 1 is the I. FLOUR = 1 would need be O or R and BLIND = 1 would be I or D. So if CL then word is CLIIR or CLOID. Neither are words, but that is not a proof. So Just an FYI.

if CU then from FRUIT = 1 its the U. From FLOUR = 1 it would need to be the U or R as F can not be first, L is not from CLUNG = 2 and O is not as U would be 3rd. Similar logic from BLIND = 1 means N or D. So the word would be C_UNR or C_UUD. Pretty sure no such words fit. Again not a proof...just saying is all.

if CN then from FRUIT = 1 can't be FI as CN are those positions nor U as CLUNG = 2 would mean not U. ALERT = 0 means FRUIT = 1 is the R. FLOUR = 1 would need be O or R and BLIND = 1 would be I or D. So if CN then the word is CROND or CRINR. Again neither are words.

if CG then from FRUIT = 1 can't be FT as CG are those positions, nor U as CLUNG = 2 would mean not U. so R or I. FLOUR = 1 would need be O or U as F can not be first nor L 2nd from CLUNG = 2, and similar logic from BLIND = 1 means I or N. This also rules out the I from FRUIT =1 meaning its the R. So if CG the word is either CRONG or CRIUG. Not words. So not likely CG.

if LU then ALERT = 0 is wrong. Next. Same for LN and LG.

if UN then FRUIT = 1 and BLIND = 1 rules out FR T and BL D. From FLOUR = 1, then not F and not L. Also not OU as its UN. So R is last. The word ends with UNR. I know no such word. Mustn't be UN.

if UG then FRUIT = 1 rules out F from FLOUR = 1. Also not L as CLUNG = 2 (UG). Not O nor R as its UG. So its the U. The word is of the form __UUG. I know no such word.

if NG then FLOUR must be from FLO = 1, but CLUNG = 2 (NG) means not the L so F or O. FRUIT = 1 is FRU = 1. If the F then the word is F _ _ NG...without R or L being second. Unlikely. If the R then the word is _ RONG (can't be the F in FLOUR so is the R). OMG, we finally have a combo that works. WRONG and PRONG fit. Ok...last letter. If the U then we are screwed as now it can't be the F nor the O from Flour.

So, it is likely that the word is WRONG. If not then it must be PRONG, so I'll hold my breath and go with...

PRONG

(btw I was bored. This proof explains my disdain for ROLLO NINJA or whatnot. This was way funner for me :D )

Oh well...WbB gave the word but Maurice gave the whole big (and fun :D ) explanation...so i'm kinda confused about the marking scheme :wacko: . Can someone help me out here?

Yup, WbB gets the whole 30 points. However it does not compare to the joy I had with my post.

2 things though, true story.

1) My post was after his, so he'd get the points anyhoozle.

B) I proved nothing. Nothing. If I could prove that the word is either ZQXQZ or START, then I still have proved nothing. Just saying is all. Let me know

You could have just said ALERT showed 0 ..so CL cant be possible.

But then again, according to you its not a proof...so as an FYI its pretty good... ^_^

Thanks...and yeah I figured that out when I got to the L's and was all pfft. I didn't feel like acting like I hadn't put in that work, especially as I enjoyed it. And FYI, as a proof it still woulda been just as valid.

Didn't realise that I'd got it...

Checking back there were no proofs and 8 incorrect guesses before word guessed so scores are:

Cat +8 and WbB +30 (5 per letter except 10 for final letter/word)
