I played the game “blind” (i.e. I avoided reading the comments before playing) and was able to figure it out and beat the game without ever losing my ship. I really enjoyed it. The one part that I felt could have been made a lot clearer was that the “shape” of the mind signals how quickly they move towards your ship; I think I only figured that out around level 3 or so.
Any instructions? I just played a couple of rounds and couldn’t see any particular patterns or methodology related to probability or inference or scientific thinking.
You are given conditional probabilities of your chance of hitting each asteroid, and later on get some ability to choose different probabilities for different asteroids.

Thanks.

Sorry. Just played a couple of more rounds. It makes absolutely no sense to me. To bad, because I had been hoping to like it and enjoy it.
Maybe figuring out the rules of the game is an inference problem itself :).
