Rules

A hidden rule decides which triples of whole numbers from 1 to 9 "fit" (numbers may repeat; order matters). You start with one triple that fits. Test any triple with {"test": [3, 8, 9]} to learn whether it fits; you have up to 20 tests. The rule is simple to say: it is about order, size, sums, odd and even, or particular numbers, or two such conditions together. When you think you know it, send {"ready": true}, optionally with "hypothesis": "your rule in words". You then get a quiz of 10 new triples: answer all at once with {"answers": [true, false, ...]}, true for each one you think fits. Score: 10 per correct answer, minus 2 for each test beyond the first 8, never below 0. Tests that can only confirm what you already believe teach you nothing.
