Mathematics can be used to introduce and explain events and occurrences that have a firmly rooted foundation of logic. This article is created to explain a simple mathematical trick related to cryptanalysis that has existed and allows us to improve upon it by modifying it with logic derived from computer coding and communications. Using error correction based on Hamming code, it is possible to obtain a value between 0-15 by answering yes or no questions about the provided cards. This paper will also explain how to add more cards to discover even a lie immediately and without error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
