Inductive/Deductive Reasoning in Mastermind

Today I played the game Mastermind. To play this game you use colors and a sequence to try and break the 4 color code. There are 8 different colors to chose from and the code is 4 colors long. There’s also have a maximum amount of try’s. On the side of each try there is a red, white or blank dot. Red means you have a right color in the right spot. White means right color wrong spot. Blank means wrong color. A strategy I used was to put random colors and try to find the colors that weren’t in it so I could eliminate them first. This game is deductive reasoning because you have to use the side colors for information to know what move to do next.
