On the Subject of Forget Perspective

A little imagination required.

The cube has a permutation of {Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Magenta, Orange} on it.

Orientations used in this manual

Up

Down

Where the front face is the one facing away from the module. When considering the front and back faces, the up-direction is in the direction of the initial up face, and out of the module for the side faces.

Determining the caesar offset

(batteries * number of ports) % 10Offset
0 +3
1 +Last serial# letter (A1Z26).
2 -Sum serial# digits.
3 +Sum of serial# digits - number of plates.
4 +Last digit of SN.
5 -Number of holders + 2 * last serial# letter (A1Z26).
6 +Number of lit indicators - unlit indicators + sum of serial# digits
7 Lit SIG +Last serial# letter (A1Z26).
Else +Sum of serial# digits.
8 +Last serial# letter + sum of serial# digits - number of indicators + number of D batteries.
9 Add last serial# letter (A1Z26) if > 3 batteries, otherwise subtract it + add sum of serial# digits if > 3 indicators, otherwise subtract it.

Using this value, jump to the corresponding part of the manual after determining the initial face to look at.

Steps to do each solve

Find the first applying condition in the table below and look at the corresponding face. Every direction is now relative to this face for the duration of this stage.

Offset = 1, 4, 5, 11, 15, or 21:

Look at the face given by the initial face and look in the direction given by the table below. Finally find this color in the right table with your offset to get the submission.

Using the table below, determine which colors correspond to the given vowels. Locate where these vowels appear, then find that pair in the left table (where x acts as a wildcard). Use the matching row together with the initial face to find the final face in the right table. Finally, look up that color in the table below to get the submission letter for this stage.
