First-turn measures

All four describe NUDES used as an opening guess. Entropy is the same idea as “avg ruled out” on a log scale: a higher number means the guess splits the possible answers into more, smaller groups.

4.75 Entropy (bits)
158 Avg remaining
0.0% Exact match
93.4% Avg ruled out
Higher first-turn entropy than about 69% of evaluated openers
1.20 bits below the highest measured first-turn entropy (~5.95 bits)
