Good Touch Principle (Question 4)

Question

• Green 3 needs be played on the stacks.
• What action should Alice perform?
• If Alice should give a clue, what card note will be written on the focused card?

Solution

• Both a color and number clue would duplicate the green 3 and violate Good Touch Principle.
• Thus, Alice should wait patiently for Bob to discard the green 3. Once the first copy of the green 3 is discarded, the team can clue the remaining green 3.
• Since there are no legal clues to give, Alice must discard.
