  • There will be a large square in the center of the module. Press the square to play a series of sequences.
  • There will be 3 sequences played, each of length 8.
    • The first will be composed of numbers.
    • The second will be composed of colors.
    • The third will be composed of symbols.
  • The sequences’ entries are taken from the below diagrams. Take note of the entry which is excluded from the lists.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  • Use the excluded entries in order and convert them to digits based on their position from left to right in the table, and then proceed to the following steps.

Iterating the Digits

  1. Construct a triangle as shown and place the three obtained digits at the top row.
  2. Then, fill in the lower rows by setting each cell’s value to the sum of the two values directly above it.
  3. Once this has been performed, rotate the triangle 120° clockwise and empty the bottom two rows. Fill these rows using the rules of step 2.
  4. Rotate the triangle once more, and fill in the rows as previously described.
  5. Take the bottommost value of the triangle and continue to the next step.

Obtaining the Sequence

  • Once the number has been obtained from the previous step, take each digit individually, and convert it into a string of 1’s and 0’s using the below table. Concatenate them together to form one large string.
0 1 2 3 4
00 01 10 11 100
5 6 7 8 9
101 110 111 1000 1001

Submitting your Answer

  • Once this string has been obtained, it must be submitted into the module.
  • To start, press the module once more. The module start a rhythm of one beat per tick of the bomb’s timer.
  • It will start with 4 beats to introduce the rhythm. Tapping the module during this time will reset the module to its initial state. After the 4 beats, the module will start recording input.
  • For each beat, go to the next character of the string of 1’s and 0’s. If the character in the corresponding position is a 1, interact with the module at least once during that beat. If it is a 0, do not interact.
  • An interaction with the module can be holding the button or releasing it.
