On the Subject of 5-digit Skewed Slots

cruel skewed slots 💀

Tips:

  • Before Input Mode: Do NOT press any buttons on the module.
  • If the module is unable to generate any number of stages on the bomb, press any button to solve.
  • Top display blinking green and displaying mandatory stages: You get a free re-read, else you will need to get a strike in exchange for a re-read.
  • To re-read: During input mode,
    1. Press the left arrow button
    2. Input a stage number (e.g. 2)
    3. Press the left arrow button again.

Goal: Input 3 final 5-digit numbers for the corresponding stages.

  • Upon correct input: Stage number will glitch out.
  • Incorrect input: Strike, all 3 stages have to be re-entered.
  • To submit: Auto-submits after 5 digits have been entered.
  • To delete previous input: Press the left arrow button.

Rules to Calculate Inputs

Is this Skewed Slots 2.0? Yes it is.

  • Original (digit): the digit in that stage before any modifications.
  • #: Number
  • SN: serial number
  • current: current value
  • If there are no digits in the serial number: Use 0.

Calculations For All Digits (All rules that apply)

IF true: THEN (do ALL that apply):
1. ≥1 Stereo RCA port: Reverse the sequence. (1st ⬌ 5th, 2nd ⬌ 4th)
2. always: + #batteries to all digits
3. SN contains “F” or “I”: - #letters in SN for all digits
All digits can be >9 or <0, keep it as it is till the end.

1st Digit Calculations (1st rule that apply)

IF true (1st that apply): THEN final 1st value is:
1. Have “Needy Tetris”: = 1st original + 7
2. 1st value ≥ 10 & is even: = current / 2
3. 1st value < 5: = current + last digit of SN
4. Otherwise: = current + 1

2nd Digit Calculations (1st rule that apply)

IF true (1st that apply): THEN final 2nd value is:
1. Have duplicate ports = current + #duplicate port types
2. No ports = current + 1st original + 3rd original
3. Otherwise: = current + #ports

3rd Digit Calculations (1st rule that apply)

IF true (1st that apply): THEN final 3rd value is:
1. Any digits swapped before
(i.e. All Digits: Rule 1)
Do nothing
2. 3rd value ≥ 7 = Sum of binary digits in 3rd original digit
3. 3rd value < 3 = absolute value of 3rd current value
4. Otherwise: = 3rd original digit + smallest digit in SN

4th Digit Calculations (1st rule that apply)

IF true (1st that apply): THEN final 4th value is:
1. 4th value < 0 = current + largest digit in SN
2. ≤5 stages generated Do nothing
3. Otherwise: = 18 - current

5th Digit Calculation

Replace the 5th value with a number gained from the table below:

1st Digit of SN
0, 12, 34, 56, 78, 9
5th Value % 5
(Or within 0–4)
001234
156789
2EE + 19 - EE - 1E + 5
398567
443012

E = 5th original digit

Warm Reminder:

  • If final value < 0, then +10 until it’s in 0-9.
  • If final value > 9, then -10 until it’s in 0-9.
