Abstract:
There are any number of tricks and traps around getting the query optimizer to provide you with an optimal execution plan that gets you your data quickly and efficiently. But, at the end of the day, the principal driving factor of the optimizer, and therefore of your queries, are the statistics that define your data. This session teaches you how those statistics are put together and maintained by SQL Server. Different types of maintenance results in different levels of accuracy within statistics so we detail what the structures and information looks like after this maintenance. Your understanding of how the optimizer works with statistics will better enable you to understand why you’re getting the performance and types of execution plans that you are getting. Understanding enables you to write better t-sql statements and deal with performance problems such as bad parameter sniffing.
Speaker(s): Grant Fritchey,
Abstract:
Documentation is the bane of every DBA's existence. We all know we should do it but it's time consuming; by the time you're finally done it's probably out of date. Throw in the new servers you just found out about last week and keeping documentation up to date can turn into a full time job. And with everything we have to do in our day, who has time for that? You need a way to work smarter, not harder, and automate your documentation. It can be done, and in this session you'll learn how to discover all the SQL Servers on your network, document their configuration from top to bottom (including OS details), and diagnose common problems before they turn into big headaches - all while you're on a coffee break. You'll look like a rock star without writing a line of code on your own or having to ask management to sign a check. Attend this session and walk away with everything you need to generate documentation for your entire SQL Server environment on your first day back at the office
Speaker(s): Kendal Van Dyke,
Abstract:
Unit testing is a widely accepted best practice, yet it is difficult to do well with SSIS packages. This session will focus on both the practice of test driven development as it applies to SSIS, and the tools for actually implementing it. It will cover in depth how to set up your development environment to support test driven development and what techniques can be used to make this practical for SSIS. You will also see how to automate the testing of SSIS packages, using the open source ssisUnit framework. The session will cover several of the common questions about automated unit testing, including how to handle test data , how to set up the environment for multiple developers, and how to make tests flexible.
Speaker(s): John Welch,
Abstract:
Database development has traditionally been done using SQL Server Management Studio query window as the primary tool, when far more powerful tools are available in your toolset. This is the equivalent of writing a document using Notepad, when MS Word is available on your desktop. This session will take you through some of the basics of using SSDT, show you how to use VS2012 database projects effectively, how to utilize TFS build, test and deploy your code. I've had my share of bumps on the road to deploying these toolsets. At the end of this session you will have a good introduction into how to use the tools and how to avoid some common issues with legacy code you are already have in your environments.
Speaker(s): miguel Cebollero,
Abstract:
Extended Events are used to gather a wide range of performance information to help troubleshoot performance problems in SQL Server. The system_health session is an Extended Events session that is included by default with SQL Server. This session starts automatically when the SQL Server database engine starts, and runs without any noticeable performance effects. This presentations will take you on an in-depth tour of the data provided in the system_health event session and how to use it to troubleshoot performance issues. Cases studies from real-life examples will be used to demonstrate tips and tricks.
Speaker(s): Janis Griffin,
Abstract:
This session explores the tabular approach to building cubes in SQL Server Analysis Services 2012 for those DBAs and developers who are more comfortable working with relational databases than cubes. Starting with a ‘normal’ relational database, the attendee will learn how to build a basic model by loading data from several data sources, establish relations between these data sources, define measures and dimensions, build hierarchies, create KPIs and deploy functional cubes that can be used to answer management’s questions about what is really going on with their data. For users already familiar with PowerPivot, this session provides a good transition into the world of SSAS as both use essentially the same techniques.
Speaker(s): Michael Antonovich,
Abstract:
BIML--Business Intelligence Markup Language is your key to faster development of SSIS Packages. This session will guide you through an introduction to BIML.

How do you speak to your leadership team? Your peers? People who depend on you? People on whom you depend?
Speaker(s): Susan Rickman,
Abstract:
Indexes are a wonderful thing. We should be using them, and we should be maintaining them. But over time our production databases start to look a little pudgy around the mid-section.  The first step to fixing these problems it so see if you have them, and if you do the second is to set about fixing them. You could be costing yourself CPU cycles, I/Op’s, and space and never even know it.
Speaker(s): Bradley Ball,

Speaker(s): Robert Biddle,
Abstract:
Just about anyone can click through a SQL Server installation and get it working, but more than a little tuning is required to get the most performance out of your servers. Once virtualized, additional tuning can help get even more performance out of that virtual machine. David Klee (@kleegeek) will discuss valuable details for both VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V on how to tweak and tune your virtual infrastructure for business-critical virtualized SQL Servers. Tips on configuring your SQL Server installations for maximum performance when virtualized will be covered in detail.
Speaker(s): David Klee,
Abstract:
DBAs understand their bottlenecks, managers understand business issues, this presentation will help both sides understand each other and how to put a dollar figure in business terms on your performance problems. Putting actual costs to problems allows the business to determine if it worth fixing and allows the DBA to obtain budget to move their environment forward.

This document describes the use of the NTP Project's sntp
program,
that can be used to query a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server and
display the time offset of the system clock relative to the server
clock. Run as root, it can correct the system clock to this offset as
well. It can be run as an interactive command or from a cron job.
This document applies to version 4.2.6 of sntp
.
The program implements the SNTP protocol as defined by the draft NTPv4 IETF specification.
By default, sntp
writes the local data and time (i.e., not UTC) to the
standard output in the format:
1996 Oct 15 20:17:25.123 +4.567 +/- 0.089 secs
where the +4.567 +/- 0.089 secs indicates the time offset and error bound of the system clock relative to the server clock.
The simplest use of this program is as an unprivileged command to check the current time, offset, and error in the local clock. For example:
sntp ntpserver.somewhere
With suitable privilege, it can be run as a command or in a
crom
job to reset the local clock from a reliable server, like
the ntpdate
and rdate
commands.
For example:
sntp -a ntpserver.somewhere


In asymmetric encryption algorithms there is one key for encryption and another for decryption. These two keys are referred to as a key pair.

Abstract
Recent advances in trainable modalities and amphibious information have paved the way for IPv7. After years of practical research into DHTs, we verify the synthesis of von Neumann machines, which embodies the structured principles of constant-time cyberinformatics. Dop, our new system for the emulation of Boolean logic, is the solution to all of these challenges.
1 Introduction
Recent advances in interposable epistemologies and random models do not necessarily obviate the need for compilers. An extensive quandary in cryptoanalysis is the improvement of the refinement of write-back caches. On the other hand, an appropriate quandary in hardware and architecture is the theoretical unification of the Internet and reinforcement learning. Thus, Internet QoS and Bayesian information are based entirely on the assumption that web browsers and scatter/gather I/O are not in conflict with the study of write-ahead logging.
We question the need for the analysis of hierarchical databases. Dop turns the virtual theory sledgehammer into a scalpel 11. In addition, we view theory as following a cycle of four phases: development, emulation, visualization, and analysis. Furthermore, the basic tenet of this approach is the visualization of e-comm3 Event-Driven Configurations
In this section, we present version 1.0.3 of Dop, the culmination of minutes of programming. The centralized logging facility contains about 59 lines of Scheme. Further, the virtual machine monitor contains about 268 semi-colons of Scheme. Our heuristic requires root access in order to enable the understanding of symmetric encryption. While this outcome at first glance seems counterintuitive, it has ample historical precedence.
erce. Contrarily, architecture might not be the panacea that systems engineers expected. As a result, we prove that although the foremost client-server algorithm for the construction of link-level acknowledgements by Qian is maximally efficient, 802.11b can be made low-energy, unstable, and autonomous.
We use wearable models to demonstrate that the well-known low-energy algorithm for the investigation of hierarchical databases follows a Zipf-like distribution. We view theory as following a cycle of four phases: development, refinement, visualization, and prevention. For example, many systems harness write-back caches. Existing wireless and linear-time applications use Bayesian symmetries to observe extensible configurations. Obviously, we see no reason not to use the evaluation of Boolean logic to refine the deployment of digital-to-analog converters.
In this paper, we make two main contributions. First, we introduce an analysis of consistent hashing (Dop), which we use to argue that replication and systems can interact to realize this aim. We propose a system for replicated information (Dop), which we use to prove that fiber-optic cables can be made peer-to-peer, collaborative, and pseudorandom.
The rest of the paper proceeds as follows. To begin with, we motivate the need for spreadsheets. We place our work in context with the prior work in this area. We place our work in context with the existing work in this area. Along these same lines, we argue the evaluation of interrupts. Ultimately, we conclude.
2 Architecture
Dop relies on the private framework outlined in the recent foremost work by T. Kumar et al. in the field of steganography. Although computational biologists generally postulate the exact opposite, our methodology depends on this property for correct behavior. We performed a 3-year-long trace proving that our framework is feasible. See our previous technical report 9 for details.

IntroductionClipboard Plus is a Windows utility to view and manage the Windows clipboard. It maintains and can display up to five copied items or clips. Clips are arranged from newest to oldest. Clicking on a clip loads it back into the clipboard and it is ready for pasting into another application. It also now becomes the latest clip, and other clips scroll down. To explore more features and functions of this utility, right click on it. This tiny but useful utility is completely free and open sourced. For more such amazing free apps please visit the links on the left. |
|
InstallationDownload the Windows Installer from: GitHub Unzip the downloaded file and run setup.exe. Follow the instructions. Run the program from start menu or by double clicking Clipboard Plus desktop icon. Note: The installer will optionally add a shortcut to the startup folder of Windows, so that Clipboard Plus starts automatically when you start Windows. This is enabled by default. Disabled the auto startup by unchecking the related checkbox on the last screen of the installer.
Please read the License before installing and using this software. |
|
UsageCopy content as usual from any window using Control-C or Control-X or context menu. The clip will appear in the Clipboard Plus list. Copy more to add to the list. Click on any entry in the list to load it in the Windows Clipboard. Paste it anywhere you like. Whenever you copy something, the top most clip will be updated and the old clips scroll down. Note: Only text clips are supported.
Note: The last clip will be lost when a new clip is updated.
Right Click on the main window to bring up the Pop Up Menu. Clear: Clear individual clips by right clicking on the clip, and click Clear. Clear All: Clear all clips. Clear Clipboard: Clear current content of the clipboard without affecting rest of the clips. Note: You cannot undo Clear commands.
Save: Save individual clip as a text file by right clicking on the clip and click Save. Save All: Save all the clips as a text file. Edit Clip: Edit the clip in the edit box that pops up. Click tick mark button to close. The edited clip is loaded into the clipboard. Open link: If the clip is a link, it will be opened in your default browser. Password Mode: Enable or disable password mode. When enabled, it masks the copied passwords. Note: A password must have combination of letters, numbers and special characters to be detected as a password. A clip with spaces or with length greater than 16 characters is not considered as a password. This feature is language dependent. Currently only English and Hindi is supported. It cannot recognize Arabic passwords, for example.
Warning: The hidden password is not really secure. Anyone can unhide it or load it up in the clipboard. This feature simply ensures that a casual onlooker is not able to see it. Clear the clip as soon as it is used.

|
| View Sticky Clips: Opens the Sticky Clips
window just below the ClipBoard Plus window. You can type in
notes, reminders, text, clips etc and save them for later use.
Here is what the buttons do: ✕ : Clear C : Copy + : Save note ← : Next note → : Previous note - : Delete note ✓ : Close |
|
| It has a neat feature to remind you for something important.
Just type in your note and prefix it with the set reminder
command and time. For example: set reminder 11:30 call someone set reminder 2h 15m go jogging and drop trash set reminder 20m Skype meeting with client Press Add (+) button to set a reminder as above. You should see an ack message showing some details. This is also saved as a sticky clip for later use. The reminder is a one time reminder, it won't keep repeating. As you must have noticed, there are two ways to specify the time. Either as HH:MM, in which case the reminder sounds exactly at that time, or as a duration as xxh yym, in which case the reminder sounds exactly after that duration. Note: Its a bit sensitive about syntax. So do not add words between set reminder and time or do not use words instead of numbers while mentioning time. Do not use AM or PM. It works in 24 hr format. You cannot set a reminder for next day or next week. However, when you use the duration, it may cross over to the next day. Warning: This is not a Windows scheduler event or OS level alarm. If you exit ClipBoard Plus, you will never get reminded. Closing and restarting ClipBoard Plus has the same effect. Reminders are timer based, they are not retained (As for version 1.1.0). You can set up to 20 reminders. The 21st reminder will overwrite the first and so on.
Note: The reminder appears as a message box. If your text is too long, it gets truncated. But you can view the full text in sticky clips. If you are not happy with the voice that announces the reminder, you can replace it with your own jingle or sound by replacing the rem.wav file found in this location: My Documents\Oormi Creations\Clipboard Plus Note: Sticky clips can save up to 300 clips. The clips are saved as delimited text file. If you wish to have more clips, just rename the CBP_StickyClips.txt file, which can be found in: My Documents\Oormi Creations\Clipboard Plus You can also delete it to quickly clear all saved clips. |
|
Add to Sticky Clips: This will add the clip on which you right clicked to the Sticky Clips. If you wish to use a clip often or want to save it for later, you can do so here. Note that as you copy other things, the clip will disappear from the main list, but it will be there in the Sticky Clips. Minimize to tray: The main window is hidden and can be restored from the tray icon. Help: Access this help online. About: Information about Clipboard Plus. Check for updates: If updates are available the user is prompted to update and the download website is opened in the browser. Get more free apps: Opens the Oormi Creations GitHub repository where you can find more awesome, free and open source apps like this one. Exit: Closes Clipboard Plus. |

Volume
This module contains layers working with volumetric representation of proteins.
Computes the 3D atomic densities of each atom type. Let's denote the position of the $j$-th atom of type $i$ as $\mathbf{x}_{ij}$.
The volumetric density for atom type $i$ reads:
$$
V_i(\mathbf{r}) = \sum_j \exp\left( -\frac{|\mathbf{r} - \mathbf{x}_{ij}|^2}{2\sigma^2} \right)
$$
The value of $\sigma$ is set to 1 grid unit. To reduce the amount of computation,
the contribution of each atom is considered only up to 2 grid cells away from its position.

In version 0.1 of the library, this layer is not differentiable.
Input/Output
Computes the correlation between two sets of volumes of the same size. Let's denote
feature $i$ volume as $V_i$. The correlation between two sets of volumes is:
$$
Corr_i = (V^{(1)}_i * V^{(2)}_i)
$$
where
$$
(V^{(1)}_i * V^{(2)}_i) (x,y,z) = \sum_{klm} V^{(1)}_i (k,l,m) V^{(1)}_i (k+x,l+y,m+z)
$$
We will denote the translation of the second volume wrt the first as $\vec{\tau} = (x, y, z)$

Unlimited Games. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=157 White=153
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
Quite a deceptive position. Red’s position looks stronger than it is.
White has some bad entering numbers, e.g., 24 and 26 which are quite scary.
However, White has a sound structure with all his checkers in play and has both priming and blitzing game plans available. Meanwhile Red’s three rear checkers are a long way from the action.
Red has the advantage and should double because he could lose his market and he will win plenty of gammons. Not doubling is an error, but only just. However, White’s take is very easy and dropping would be a double blunder.

THE PEACEMAKER (DreamWorks) Starring: George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Marcel Iures, Alexander Baluev, Armin Mueller-Stahl. Screenplay: Michael Schiffer. Producers: Walter Parkes and Branko Lustig. Director: Mimi Leder. MPAA Rating: R (profanity, violence) Running Time: 122 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Here's an easy short-hand for thinking about THE PEACEMAKER: it's a James Bond film without James Bond. The protagonist, U.S. Army intelligence officer Col. Tom DeVoe (George Clooney), is a man of action with contacts around the globe (Armin Mueller-Stahl plays his Russian Felix Leiter). His partner is a beautiful and determined woman, nuclear specialist Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman). Their adversary is a nationalist from the former Yugoslavia (Marcel Iures) who has gotten hold of a nuclear warhead. Their search for the missing nuke takes DeVoe and Kelly from Vienna to the Iranian border to New York City. Okay, so there's no sex and no vodka martinis, but THE PEACEMAKER comes with virtually everything else you could ask for in an espionage thriller: superbly crafted action sequences, a charismatic hero, marvelous production values, the threat of mass destruction, humor and style. At times, it's as satisfying an action film as 1997 has produced to date.
That's bound to come as a surprise considering the folks both behind and in front of the camera. THE PEACEMAKER marks the feature directing debut of Mimi Leder (previously on duty as a director for "ER", including the Emmy-nominated "Love's Labor Lost" episode), but she shows no signs of rookie jitters. Her sense of timing an action scene, ably assisted by editor David Rosenbloom, creates tension in unlikely places; her instinct for effective restraint (like the positively heretical decision to show two trains hurtling towards one another, then cut away before the collision) is uncommon and welcome. Leder instantly distinguishes herself as a big-screen action director to watch for.
George Clooney, meanwhile, has previously distinguished himself on the big screen largely by not distinguishing himself, disappearing into the frenetic horror of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN and the inane vortex that was BATMAN & ROBIN. In THE PEACEMAKER, he's a roguish hero with an edge. DeVoe displays an often ruthless military pragmatism, yet his very refusal to play politics gives many of his comic lines their bite.
He's no Bond, of course, which points out the one glaring deficiency keeping THE PEACEMAKER from being a great action film. The Bond films' awareness of their own high-flying absurdity forced them to avoid self-importance, while also making it easy for viewers to overlook mediocre scripts. Not only is Michael Schiffer's screenplay for THE PEACEMAKER too serious by half, it feels only half-finished. Instead of an arrogantly megalomaniacal villain, or even an appealingly insane one, Schiffer offers a somber, haunted Bosnian surrounded by the somber, haunted ruins of Sarajevo. Leder adds a touch of irony with a passing shot of Sarajevo's Olympic rings, at least momentarily defusing the impression that THE PEACEMAKER is trying to Make a Political Statement. As for the characters...let's just call them functional. There's a mechanical feel to the narrative flow of THE PEACEMAKER; it moves from place to place or person to person with little connective tissue to hold it all together. It's an action machine, albeit an extremely well-oiled one.
Well-oiled action machines are rare enough that THE PEACEMAKER could find a receptive audience, perhaps the same audience anxiously awaiting James Bond's next adventure. Operating without a compelling script or the built-in goodwill which accompanies the planet's most famous secret agent, Mimi Leder and company manage to create a worthy challenger. With competition like Bond, it's impressive that Leder was neither shaken nor stirred.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 Bond-ed deliveries: 7.

ADMITSegmentFinder — Finds segments of emission within a spectrum.¶
This module defines the class for spectral line segment detection.
-
class
admit.util.segmentfinder.ADMITSegmentFinder.
ADMITSegmentFinder
(**keyval)[source]¶ Define segments of ‘line’ emission where segments from data appear to be above a threshold. This routine comes out of ASTUTE, some parameters below are hardcoded.
Parameters: freq : float array
Frequencies, GHz.
spec : float array
The y component of the spectrum (arbitrary units, could be linear, could be log).
f : float
Robustness parameter [1.5].
pmin : float
Signal above cuttoff, rmean+pmin*rstd.
minchan : int
Minimum number of channels needed for a line.
maxgap : int
Allowed channels with signal below cutoff [0].
nomean : bool
Remove the mean from any noise and cutoff calculations. This is useful if PVCorr based spectra are being processed to get a correct noise level. Default: False.
Returns: 4-tuple
channel_segments[], cutoff, noise, mean
Methods
find
()Method that does the segment finding line_segments
(spec, cutoff)Method to find segments that where lines are located set_options
(\*\*keyval)Set the options for the line finding algorithm. -
find
()[source]¶ Method that does the segment finding
Parameters: None
Returns: Tuple containing a list of the segments, the cutoff used, the
noise level, and a mean baseline.
-
line_segments
(spec, cutoff)[source]¶ Method to find segments that where lines are located [ [start1,end1], [start2,end2], ....]
This function assumes you’ve subtracted a possible continuum (see the nomean parameter), and applied the absolute value, because this routine only segments above the cutoff.
Need some explanation on the use of abs here.
Parameters: spec : numpy array (with a mask)
The spectrum to analyze
cutoff : float
The cutoff to use (line segments must be higher than this value)
Returns: List of segment start and end channels, e.g. [[10,20],[30,40]]
-
set_options
(**keyval)[source]¶ Set the options for the line finding algorithm.
Parameters: freq : float array
Frequencies, GHz.
spec : float array
The y component of the spectrum (arbitrary units, could be linear, could be log)
f : float
Robustness parameter [1.5]
pmin : float
Signal above cuttoff, rmean+pmin*rstd
minchan : int
Minimum number of channels needed for a line
maxgap : int
Allowed channels with signal below cutoff [0]

Cloud computing makes computer system resources, especially storage and computing power, available on demand without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated an Edge server.
Clouds may be limited to a single organization (enterprise clouds,) be available to many organizations (public cloud,) or a combination of both (hybrid cloud.) The largest public cloud is Amazon AWS. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.
Advocates of public and hybrid clouds note that cloud computing allows companies to avoid or minimize up-front IT infrastructure costs. Proponents also claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and that it enables IT teams to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable demand.[1][2][3] Cloud providers typically use a "pay-as-you-go" model, which can lead to unexpected operating expenses if administrators are not familiarized with cloud-pricing models.

When users perform tasks and explore functionality, they may require guidance. To determine how much guidance to provide, you must account for the complexity of the task, the complexity of the user interface, and the expected knowledge of users. User assistance design patterns help determine when and how to present help content to users.
SKY UX guidelines for UI text and help content provide a consistent experience for Blackbaud customers and those who interact with our customer's solutions, such as donors and students. Blackbaud developers can find additional guidance in the Blackbaud corporate style guide and the Strategic Content Development style guide. Those resources are for Blackbaud internal users only and are not available to external developers.
SKY UX design patterns include four primary techniques to display help content: empty-state help, inline help, the preloaded Help Widget, and preloaded popovers. To determine the appropriate technique for user assistance, consider the complexity of the task and the expected knowledge of users. The chart below provides a matrix to determine the type of user assistance to provide in different scenarios. Do not overuse help content because it can overwhelm or inhibit users. For example, only preload the Help Widget or popovers when user research supports the need for those techniques. When in doubt, err on the side of empty-state help and inline help.
Empty-state help provides user assistance when content containers are not populated. The content can include a title, body copy, and buttons to take actions or access additional resources. The help content does not appear when content containers are populated.
Empty-state help content explains how users can take advantage of the functionality in question, and it follows these guidelines:
Center empty-state help in its content container.
Invoked inline help gives users access to help content when needed while avoiding most of the visual noise that comes with persistent inline help text. It is appropriate to use invoked inline help in cases where users may need initial assistance but:
In general, use a help button to invoke the help content. For more complex help content, you can also use a popover or the help panel.
For complex tasks where users require comprehensive documentation for the entire task, they invoke help at the page or modal level depending on the context.
In Blackbaud products, users can invoke the help service from the omnibar or a modal header bar.
For tasks where users require documentation for a tile, they invoke help from the tile header. If only a few items in the tile need explanation, use element-level help instead. In general, don't combine tile-level help and element-level help on items within the tile.
Place the help button to the right of the label for the element that the help content supports.
Sometimes a small amount of persistent inline text can help users understand tasks. It is appropriate to use persistent inline help in cases where:
Use the
The placement of persistent inline help text depends on the part of a task that it supports.
Popovers are a great way to display contextual content on pages or modals, and you can programmatically preload popovers to display user assistance when pages or modals load. This technique allows you to guide users toward subtle-but-important elements when tasks include complex or unfamiliar capabilities. It is appropriate to preload popovers with help content when:
Popovers are also useful for invoked inline help. For tasks with familiar or basic capabilities, they allow users to display contextual content when they interact with trigger elements.
Blackbaud developers can preload the Help Widget to display user assistance when a page loads. This technique allows you to display help content that is tailored to the first time that users load the page. Use this technique to introduce users to new or novel functionality. Do not use it to walk users through processes.
The Help Widget is also useful for invoked inline help. For tasks with familiar or basic capabilities, it allows users to display context-sensitive help content.

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:


Select a game board above, choose your username and hit enter to start the game. The computer will randomly
choose a character from those on the game screen, and you have to try to guess them!
Begin by
picking from the descriptions at the top of the game page to ask a question about the mystery character. For
example, you can click "Hat?" to see if they are wearing
a hat. If you're informed that the character is wearing a hat, click character cards to flip over all of the
characters without a hat. If the mystery character is not wearing a hat, click to flip over all the
characters that are wearing a hat. Through the process of elimination, you will eventually be able to
“guess” the name of the mystery
character.
Keep in mind that you have a limited number of turns, and guessing a character name counts as a
turn. If you run out
of turns before guessing the mystery character, you will lose the game. If you enter the
right name before you run out of turns, you will win the game! See the leaderboard to compare your results
against other players.
