On the Subject of Graffiti Numbers
The answer to this puzzle is spray painted on the wall. Hurry up and punch it in!
- The module consists of a graffiti wall containing nine painted numbers from 1–9. Each digit will only appear once. Warning: ‘7’ and ‘1’ look similar.
-
To disarm the module, you must spray paint the correct buttons in the order dictated by the rules below:
- If there are more red numbers than green numbers, start at Rule #8 and progress in reverse order.
- Otherwise, if there are more blue numbers than yellow numbers, start at Rule #6.
- Otherwise, if there are more green numbers than blue numbers, start at Rule #4 and progress in reverse order.
- Otherwise, start at Rule #1.
- In each instance, if the rule is true, spray that number.
| Rule # | Rule |
|---|---|
| 1 | The left column is in ascending order (top to bottom). |
| 2 | The top row is in descending order (left to right). |
| 3 | The sum of the four corners is greater than the sum of the other numbers. |
| 4 | The number ‘1’ is blue. |
| 5 | The top row is mostly primes. |
| 6 | The last digit of the sum of the first two numbers in a column is equal to the bottom number of the same column. |
| 7 | The sum of the two diagonals are not equal. |
| 8 | The corner numbers have no more than two colours. |
| 9 | Fewer than three rules are true (at this point in your calculation). |
