summary
Claims that hypothesis-driven development is best taught by running small, disprovable experiments and shows two hands-on tools: a simplified Elluses card game (teams use an Oracle to discover a hidden odd-even rule through visible mainline/sideline failures) and a numeric Mastermind variant with a one-page A3 to record hypotheses. Emphasizes buying information with tiny experiments (start with 1111), the ~50% failure sweet spot for learning, and that wrong guesses are as informative as right ones—workshop exercises reliably surface the rule quickly and produce measurable learning.
