Bonus Question (Student may or may not give the answer)
A correct answer is worth 20 points. An incorrect answer is lost 7 points and 0
point for blank answer.

30. Joe and Jane play a game “guess a code”. A code consists of four digits each of
which could be 0 to 9 and not repeated. Joe sets a code, and Jane guesses the code.
Each time Jane guesses the code, Joe has to tell number of right digits and number
of right digits in right positions in the code.
For example:
Suppose that Joe sets 2561 as a code and Jane guesses as 2018. This means that Jane
guesses 2 right digits (2 and 1) and 1 digit is in the right position (the digit is 2).
If Jane guesses 5 times for a code set by Joe, then Joe tells the number of right digits
in the code as in the following table.
