Show Gem and Show Ray let you cheat to learn the game
Click on a perimeter square to launch a beam
Click on a gridsquare to indicate where you believe a gem to be
Click again to erase your guess
There should be 4 or 5 marbles in the mine
“I Want the Truth” evaluates your hypotheses about the marbles

  • a green OK means you got it right
  • a red frowny face means there was a gem that you didn’t guess
  • a marble with an ‘X’ through it means no gem existed where you guessed
  • ”Reset” starts a new game

Points to ponder:

  • What is the most efficient way to check the entire grid
  • are there other hypotheses that explain the data besides yours
  • have you checked the entire grid
