Really, really, really close.

Ah! Got it! But Without his answer and your numbers, I wouldn't have - so I'll leave to to him.
Good clue! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No I insist you go first, I'm not going to get it.
|
|
|
|

I couldn't possibly take the credit for your work - that wouldn't be fair!
You are one letter out!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Yep, got it now too.
I like the Mastermind hints, but would only really work with shorter answers.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

In the game of Mastermind we also know the colours (letters) which are actually correct, so its not that simple, I still can't see it. Anyway even if I did get the answer I wouldn't be able to set another clue. I would have to nominate DalekDave to do it for me.

No we don't, are you some kind of maniac?

OK I get the hint, the problem is I don't get how it fits, that the reason why I could never set one of these CCC things. Why I even bothered guessing in the first place is anybodies guess.

I normally only work out how they fit when I see the answer;
Quote: Lunatic male with power following me - helped create the hydrogen bomb. (6)
Male with power following me
male = MAN
power = AC
following me = after I
Lunatic = MANIAC
summat summat hydrogen bombs
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

MANIAC[^] was also one of the Los Alamos computers that was part of Project Mike (the first Hydrogen bomb)
Looks like you have the honours tomorrow...

I got the AC bit but that was it, my MONIAC guess I thought fitted when the name Edward Teller came up in a Google search as "the father of the Hydrogen bomb" and a Teller counts money.

That much I had worked out from the black peg Mastermind clue.
Which letter is anybody's guess? There must be something like 6^26 possibilities still to guess.
Edit: Actually probably not 6^26 but its been a long time since I played that mastermind game!

It's a vowel. Oh, which one can it be? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Nope - and I'm not entirely sure what that is...

Some Jew. Ever watched South Park? That's how Cartman spells Jew and it was the Jews hired by the Yanks that put together atomic weapons. No idea if they worked on the hydrogen bomb or not. But I got to reference South Park, be a little bit historically correct and fit it all in to the correct number of letters.

I already figured that (the looney), but it was ENIAC who helped work out the H-Bomb.
