Rule Lab

A hidden rule sorts the numbers 1–30 into “in” and “out”. Test a few numbers, then commit to the rule you think it is.

Which rule is it?

    How to play
    • Click a number to test it. Green means the hidden rule accepts it; red means it doesn't. Each test spends one from your budget.
    • The list below holds every candidate rule — exactly one is the real one, and no two behave identically on 1–30.
    • Select a rule and commit. You can commit early, but you only get one shot.
    • The assist crosses out hypotheses your evidence has already refuted. Turn it off to do the elimination yourself.

    What it teaches: the scientific method. A hypothesis is never proven by agreeing examples, only refuted by one counterexample — so the best test is a number the surviving rules disagree about.
