On the Subject of Footnotes

This module will be a piece of cake*.

Follow the instructions* on the module. If the instructions are followed correctly, the module will be disarmed. Otherwise, you will get a strike.

* Footnotes

The instructions on the module are incorrect, and should be altered. Find the bulleted group of lists for the footnote symbol used on the module, and adjust the footnoted element of the instructions by one, using the footnote symbol’s list in which the footnoted element appears. If the sum of the serial number’s digits is greater than the latest position in the English language of the serial number’s letters, advance one element forward, otherwise, advance one element backwards. If you go past one end of the proper list, wrap around to the other end of the same list.

Extra Notes

• A button cannot be above or below, or to the left or right, of itself. A button "is exactly", "is equal to", and is "the same as" itself, and cannot be different from itself.
• "Orthagonally adjacent to" means touching on the left, right, top, or bottom.
• "Reading order" is left-to-right, then top-to-bottom. If you go past one end in reading order, wrap around to the other end.
• The red button has lines going from top left to bottom right, the yellow button’s lines go from top right to bottom left, the blue button’s lines are vertical, and the green button has no lines.
