On the Subject of Knobs

Needlessly simple and ever-content. Imagine if such kindness were used to make something other than puzzles!

  • The knob can be turned to one of four different positions: UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT.
  • The knob must be in the correct position when this module’s timer hits zero, otherwise a strike is recorded.
  • Knob positions are relative to the “UP” label, which may be rotated.
  • The correct position can be determined by the first column from the left with both LEDs lit (NONE if no columns have both LEDs lit).
  • The leftmost column is column 1, and the rightmost is column 6.

Columns 1 and 2 do not have both LEDs lit.
However, Column 3 does have both LEDs lit.
So, look up 3 in the table, which is UP.

Column 5 is the first with both LEDs lit.
So, look up 5 in the table, which is LEFT.
