Nov 15, 2014 at 2:24 comment added Michael You've basically got the mechanism by which Bob and Kim are communicating, and the details on 1 out of the 3 of the actual codes. Do you want to try to get any more of the codes before I accept? If not, I'm going to roll one of them into a new question and reveal the more mathy one.

Nov 14, 2014 at 23:01 comment added Michael With regard to the third example, one clue is that the system used depends on the type of info being sent. Let's just assume Bob and Kim are actually math savants.
Nov 14, 2014 at 23:00 comment added Michael Your comment on the second answer is exactly right, with the addendum that Bob wanted to make sure Bill was sticking with a color.
Nov 14, 2014 at 22:49 comment added Michael Regarding to the muttering/mishearing, that is very definitely a big clue.
Nov 14, 2014 at 22:47 comment added Michael With regards to your first comment, yes the sender and guesser's position is reversed. In this puzzle the receiver asks the questions, not the sender.
