On the Subject of ASCII Art

(>'-')> <('-'<) (>'-')> <('-'<)

Find the correct symbol to push using the information given by the ASCII art.

• Navigate the tables below using the information on the ASCII art.
• Those tables are two adjacent faces of a 3D 6×6×3 rectangular prism.
• The paralleloid is made of 108 little 1×1 cubes. Visualize the volume and find which cube corresponds to your coordinates.
• Then take that cube, and visualize all the directly adjacent cubes.





• Each cube has a number associated to it. You can find a cube's number by using the instructions below.
  NOTE : Do not take into account the cube used to find the others. Only the adjacent cubes are relevant.
• Use the number pad to query the numbers of your cubes.
  You can query any number at any time, but querying an impossible cube number will return a 0.
• The query response gives you an ASCII number. Look at the ASCII table to associate that number to a character.
• Among the characters you found, only one of them will be present on the module : this is the correct answer. Press it to solve the module.

Finding a cube's number

Find the first rule that applies.

• There are no batteries on the bomb
• Count the cubes in reading order, starting from the top left of table 1, and going to the bottom right of the back of the paralleloid.

• There are more port plates than battery holders
• Same rule as above, but the starting cube is n°108, and you count the cubes in descending order.

• There are more lit than unlit indicators
• Count the cubes diagonally, as shown in the diagram.

• None of the above rules apply
• Use the number shown on table 1, then add the number on table 2.
