On the Subject of Galatic Fragility
Houston, we may have a number.
This module is an alien authentication device. The device’s largest feature is a two-digit seven-segment display timer which counts down cycling through all numbers. Use the objects present in the four spaces between timer segments to determine a number that, when displayed on the next timer cycle as you press the button, passes authentication. Each object corresponds to a single constraint, and may change on a new timer cycle. Valid numbers abide by all four constraints. Pressing the button on an invalid number results in a strike.
CompassThe compass’ constraint only applies to the segments the compass’ needle is pointing to. If the needle is red, all the relevant segments are lit. If the needle is black, all the relevant segments are unlit. |
DominoCount the number of pips on each half of the domino. The absolute difference between the two digits ranges between these two numbers. If the pips are white, this range in inclusive. If the pips are black, this range is exclusive. |
GearLook at how the gear is spinning. If the gear is spinning clockwise, the digit on the right is the greater of the two. If the gear is spinning counter-clockwise, the digit on the left is greater. If the gear is stationary, the two digits match. |
MatrixThe matrix’s constraint only applies to the digit the matrix is inside of. Count the number of squares that are lit at any single moment. If the matrix is present on the top half of the digit, this number is an upper bound for what the digit can be. If the matrix is present on the bottom half, this number is a lower bound. |
