The object of the game of Super Bagels is for the player to guess an integer number which the calculator has chosen. Clues are given after each guess to tell the player how close his guess is to the hidden number. To make the game more interesting, the hidden number can be specified by the user to be from 1 to 8 digits, where each digit can range from zero to a maximum specified by the user. When the proper number is finally entered, the number of guesses required to discover the hidden number is displayed.
Play begins by first keying in a seed (any number) and pressing A. The display will return with a 2-digit code as shown: 4.5. This output shows the type of number which the machine will pick for the player to guess unless requested otherwise. The 4.5 game is a game of moderate difficulty where the number is a 4 digit number with each digit having any value from 0 to 5. Thus the minimum possible number is 0000, and the maximum 5555.
After the game has been started by pressing A, the number to be guessed can be changed by pressing B or C. To change the number of digits in the hidden number, key in the number of digits and press B. The number of digits must be at least 1 and not greater than 8. To change the maximum digit found in the hidden number, the maximum digit is keyed in and C is pressed. The range of legal maximum digits is from 0 to 9. After B or C is pressed, the display returns with a display in the same format as after pressing A. This makes sure the user knows the type of number he is trying to guess.
Once the hidden number has been specified, the game begins with the player entering his first guess and pressing E. The returned output is of the form CW.Guess where C is the number of digits of the guess that exactly match digits in the hidden number both in value and location. W is the number of digits of the guess that match digits of the hidden number in value, but not in location. Digits are not counted twice; that is, digits counted as C digits are not counted again as W digits. If C is 0 there will be a blank in place of C.
For example, if the hidden number is 12251, a guess of 12345 would yield 21.12345, meaning that 2 numbers (the 1 and 2) match exactly the hidden number, but that 1 number (5) is out of place.
A guess of 21125 would give 5.21125 meaning all of the digits of the guess are in the hidden number, but none of them are in the right place.
When the guess finally matches the hidden number, the number of guesses used is output. At any time during the game, the current number of guesses taken can be displayed by pressing D.
To play again, enter a new seed and press A. Super Bagels is written to run as fast as possible, but when numbers with many digits are selected, the time to analyze a guess will be significantly slower than with a simpler number. For those who want to discover the hidden number in some manner other than by using the clues given, you are invited to try. Super Bagels has been written to hide the number as much as possible. Good Luck.
This game was inspired by the popular game Mastermind.

| 2 | To start game, key in a seed (any number); output is in the form D.M.* | Seed | A | 4.5 |
| 3 | To change number of digits to be guessed in the number, key in the number (1 ≤ D ≤ 8). | D | B | D.M* |
| 4 | To change the maximum digit found in the number to be guessed, key in the number (0 ≤ M ≤ 9). | M | C | D.M* |
| 5 | To display current number of guesses already taken | D | Guesses | |
| 6 | Guess a number containing D digits with the maximum digit ≤ M. The output returns the guess and also codes C and W which signify the number of digits of the guess correct and in the right location (C), and the number of other digits of the guess correct but, in the wrong location (W). | Guess | E | CW.Guess |
