PS - 20 sequence observations will not even come close to statistical "proof". Remember the visit CI drop rate was nailed down after 80,000 observations and the best you can say is that 5000 observations could give you a plus or minus 10% result.

I just thought of easier way to test this if people are willing to deliberately lose games. And it can work with any type of puzzle. But keep in mind only the "eliminate the color" type of game has come under suspicion.

Method 2- play the game as usual but when you come to the last move before winning '''Stop! '''and record the time remaining... then let the time run out. Repeat this for say, 10 times. Then report here the Tyler of game (TB- drop the symbols, TB- eliminate the color...) and the sequence of 10 times. If the times show a significant increasing sequence then we might have evidence of MT tampering. Again, reserve judgment until we have a least 20 observation sequences reported. If you impulsively or accidentally win any of the games (except the last) you have to start over.

The two methods are actually complementary- the first gives better results if you normally be losing the games, the second gives better results if you don't actually lose any of the games. For both the expected result is a gradual increase towards a quicker win because we should get better if we play the same game over and over. Please tell us if you are below the Detective lvl in the game or if this is the first time you have seen this particular puzzle, because your learning curve might influence the results.
