No, that makes it biased in your favour. It is trivial to find cards that
nobody else will guess.... In at least one game of this type (having to
guess something set by another person), the rules are worded so that it
is in the interests of the setter to pick said thing (the machine
configuration in this case) so that 1 or 2 people guess it correctly, but
no so easy that everyone gets it.
Look, Fred can HAVE 300 5.25" floppies even if he loses! I mean, who the
hell really WANTS 300 5.25" floppies anyway!?
