Interesting – I didn't know that. But now I found it in the 15C manual:

Quote:If you set flag 9 manually (SF 9), it causes the display to blink irrespective
of the overflow status of the calculator. As usual, a program will run to
completion before the display starts blinking. Therefore, flag 9 can be used
as a programming tool to provide a visual signal for a selected condition.

I'd like to have something like that on other calculators, too. ;-)

And the display doesn't even flash on overflow ?-)

Yes, I remember. This might have been my very first "computer game". The number was between 1 and 1023.

Mastermind becomes interesting if it's the calculator that has to guess your code. 8-)
