I wonder what the optimal strategy would be if you can't see the color and only the answers when you click submit.
Hillclimbing is already somewhat efficient:
For each slider:
- Start at 0
- Move to the right until the score drops
- Move one to the left
That should result in something like 9 tries per slider on average, so 27 tries per color.
One signal that could be used to improve it: The difference in score between 0 to 1 gives you the approximate length you have to move to the right.
Due to rounding, you don't get the exact length.
So My guess is that with an optimal strategy, on average you would need something like 4 tries per slider.
That comes down to and average of 12 tries per color.
