What I did is a secret.<\/p>\n<p>To take a turn, you need to break five laws yourself.<\/p>\n<p>I compare your transgressions to mine. &#8220;Hmmm&#8230; You started with a stolen car, and escalated to a car-jacking. Whereas, I started with shop-lifting, then a mugging, and only then escalated to car-jacking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For every illegal act you commit that matches one of mine &#8211; in the same order &#8211; I give you a black peg. If you do them in the wrong order, you get a white peg.<\/p>\n<p>You keep trying until you get five black pegs, or one of us is arrested.<\/p>\n<p>I call this game &#8220;Criminal Mastermind&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have broken the law five times.
