 Dealing
with Science
The
aim of this game is to play the role of a scientist, in order to
uncover the fundamental law of a universe. However, this is not
any old universe, but a strange one with only one law - a law that
governs whether or not particular playing cards are accepted into
a series!
Your
job as a scientist is to predict whether the cards that you are
presented with on screen will be accepted or not. In order to predict
accurately, you will need to formulate hypotheses about the law
that is governing the series. Obviously, if you hit upon the correct
hypothesis, then you're going to be right every time! And then you'll
be rich, in a tokens kind of way!
But
more of that in a minute. First, let's have a trial run. We'll assume
that you think that the card above is going to be accepted into
the series of cards; that is, that it fulfils the criteria for inclusion
in the series as specified by the fundamental law of the universe.
