    THE OBJECT OF THIS PUZZLE IS TO CHANGE THIS:

    X X X X X X X X X X

    TO THIS:

    O O O O O O O O O O

    BY TYPING THE NUMBER CORRESPONDING TO THE POSITION OF THE
    LETTER ON SOME NUMBERS, ONE POSITION WILL CHANGE, ON
    OTHERS, TWO WILL CHANGE.  TO RESET LINE TO ALL X'S, TYPE 0
    (ZERO) AND TO START OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME, TYPE
    11 (ELEVEN).
