Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Both players should have equal opportunities. When one player gives the correct answer, the other must be given a chance. Otherwise, there's never a possibility of a tie. And foul play is occurring when you ask questions to which the answer is already known, so the other player is the one who has to ask the necessary question. It's your turn to answer, so you already have all the facts.

But now, The player who starts in second position has an advantage.
Digit Code #721087047
Here a player has 2 opportunities and the other Just 1 opportunity
In this game with 5 players you can see how the fifth player has the advantage in giving the correct answer.
The last player can provide a new clue without risk, as they will always have the chance to attempt a solution. But the first player will once again find themselves in the situation where they need a final clue, but
if they ask for it, it will give an advantage to the following players.
If there are multiple players, the last player’s advantage is noticeable.
I still think the simplest solution is to allow players to provide a solution after receiving the result of a clue. In my opinion, I only see advantages to this change.
Alternatively, if someone provides a correct solution, there could be a round where all the other players get a chance to provide their solution.
Digit Code #716485645
Games have winners.
If player one submits a code player two can also submit a code and in case of a tie the one with the highest ELO loses the points what also does not seem fair.
Player two can ask the critical questions because they still have a guess whereass player one ask the critical questions, player two has the advantage.
I think this game got a whole lot less interesting and unfair!
This is certainly much better than what we had before and hopefully will be sufficient to fix the major problems. We don't intend to modify the rules any more.
