So, this can be solved in at least one and at most two attempts.

I guessed 00000 and won first go!

hmm. I guessed something different (010001 maybe, I cant remember) and won first go too. I looked in the comments hoping to find the joke. I guess I'm 1 of the 10 people who don't understand binary jokes.

Got it in 10.

There’s 10 types of people in this world: those that get that joke and those that don’t.

And those who know this joke is actually in base 3. :)

Isn't it always possible to get this on guess 2?

Yes. I think that's the joke.

Step 1: Guess 00000. Step 2: Replace all grey cells with 1s.

I think I saw a two.

There is no such thing as a two, Bender!

I think I don't get it... since it's binary, it can always be guessed in two attempts?

I intended this strategy, but 00000 happened to be correct, so I didn't even need a step 2.

Yes. You can still try to get it in one attempt.

If anyone's in need of a hexadecimal version... https://jamesl.me/hexle/

I similarly made a binary one before this version, but unsurprisingly, a lot of people said they found it too easy!
