On the Subject of Caesar Psycho
Veni, veni, veni
The module displays five letters on its upper screen.
Use the transformations corresponding to the colours of each letter in the right table to obtain the original sequence of letters.
Use the left table with the current stage number to find the first letter of the target word.
Caesar shifting the first letter of the target word by the alphabetic positions of each letter in the original sequence one after another yields the other letters of the target word.
Enter the target word into the module using the module's keyboard.
The colour transformations also apply the letters that are entered.
Submitting the correct target word will advance the module to the next of three stages, scramble the keyboard, and change its colouring.
The red button can be pressed at any time to clear the entry.
| Stage | First Letter |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use the first letter of the serial number. |
| 2 | If there is exactly one lit indicator on the bomb, use the first letter of its label. Otherwise, use the second letter of the serial number. |
| 3 | If there is exactly one unlit indicator on the bomb, use the last letter of its label. Otherwise if there are no indicators, use the last letter of the serial number. Otherwise, use the alphabetically last letter to appear on an indicator label. |
| All | Shift the used letter forwards by the cumulative number of strikes received across all currently active Caesar Psycho modules. |
| Colour | Transformation |
|---|---|
| White | Nothing. |
| Red | Shift forwards by its position on the screen from left to right. |
| Magenta | Shift backwards by the alphabetic position of the previous transformed letter. (unless it is first, then do nothing) |
| Yellow | Shift forwards by the digit of the serial number in its position if it is a number or its alphabetic position otherwise. |
| Green | Shift forwards by the numeric digit of the serial number in its position, wrapping back to the first character, if the parities of its position on the screen and the second numeric digit are equal. Otherwise, shift backwards that amount. |
| Cyan | Subtract its alphabetic position from 27. |
| Violet | Shift backwards by the sum of the numeric digits of the serial number and its position on the screen from right to left. |
