On the Subject of Catchphrase
Just say what you see.
- The module shows a round from the TV gameshow Catchphrase.
- To disarm the module, reveal the hidden image and enter the product of the numbers on the screen.
- Ignore any letters in the image; they are decoys.
- Press the green 'S' button to submit an answer or the red 'C' button to clear.
- Entering an incorrect answer will cause a strike.
- The image is hidden by four retractable coloured panels. Each panel will be one of six colours. Colours may be repeated.
- To reveal the image, press the panels in the right order at the right time.
- You may enter your final answer at any time, even if you have not uncovered all of the panels.
- Pressing an incorrect panel or pressing a panel at the wrong time will cause a strike.
- To calculate the times of the presses, convert all letters of the serial number into equivalent digits (A=1 etc).
- Find the sum of the converted letters (ignore any original digits in the serial number) and add on the number of lit indicators.
- The resulting number modulo 10 represents which row of the table you should use.
