Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Complicated Code

On the Subject of Complicated Code

This antiquated form of naval communication isn’t like the others. Sometimes it alternates colours, that makes it completely different. At least it’s genuine Morse code. Maybe too genuine...

  1. Interpret the signal from the flashing light using the Morse Code chart to identify the word being spelled.
  2. The signal will loop, with a long pause between repeats.
  3. For each signal, use the Venn diagram below to decide whether or not to press the transmit (TX) button.
  4. If no transmissions can be made, take N to be the sum of the numeric serial number digits modulo 6, plus one.
    Transmit the Nth lowest frequency.
