Will's hints allow us to rule out the use of 0s and 1s, and to restrict our attention to 3-digit numbers in which 2 of the digits match (unless Will is being tricky and counting 3 identical digits as an example of 2 digits matching). So we have 8 possibilities for what the matching digits are, and for each of those we have 7 choices for the non-matching digit, so that's 8x7 = 56 possibilities. But each of those has 3 possible orderings (xxy, xyx, yxx), so there are a total of 56x3 = 168 3-digit numbers that meet Will's requirements. As of the time I'm typing this, we've collectively guessed 29 of those combos (if I haven't missed any):
Containing two 2s: 223 227 262 322 622 722 822
Containing two 3s: 334 336
Containing two 4s: 442 443 454
Containing two 5s: 556 255
Containing two 6s: 669 696
Containing two 7s: 772 778 747 757 787 877
Containing two 8s: 882 828 858
Containing two 9s: 997 929 969 989

I'll do my usual 3 guesses for the day, going for palindromes containing 2 2s:
Wednesday Guess #1: 232
Wooden Wednesday European Knives from France and Portugal:

- GT

Barrett, since you mentioned these events in this thread, I'll go off topic and wish you and your wife a Happy Anniversary, and wish everyone a Happy Pi Day (3.14 is today's date in American notation)!!
(Students and faculty in my department are scheduled to celebrate the occasion with some pi(e) in about 22 minutes:
3.14 at 1:59)

Thanks, GT!

One more guess while I'm here... 422.

No guesses in almost 6 hours? Seems like a good enough reason to try again.

I didn't think about it when I posted this one earlier, but two of these knives traveled with me to England last summer, and both now reside in Europe.

I'll give it a couple more goes tonight.

Let's try 446.

And a knife photo I took today.
