Keeping Sith out since the Old Republic

IMPORTANT: All letters, when converted to numbers, are mod 10 starting at 0 (i.e. between 0 and 9 // A = 0).

• When turning on, the needy will sit idle and track module solves.*
• Solving a module may** trip the alarm, beeping 3 times.
• You will have 2 minutes to input the correct password.

Take the first character (Ignoring “The” if applicable) of the most recently solved module. Convert to a number (FLAG):

• LETTER: convert into a number and mod 10 (If > 9, subtract 10 until ≤ 9).
• NUMBER: Take only the first digit (204 would only return 2).

Set the alarm mode using the following rules:

1. IF the module is a Security Module listed on page 2, use MODE 3.
2. ELSE IF the solved module’s first character (and/or FLAG if a letter) is in the serial number, use MODE 1.
3. ELSE use MODE 2.

The display should show a 5-character code. Convert all the letters into digits then follow the steps below:

1. Add FLAG to each digit (subtract 10 if > 9)
2. If FLAG is:
   • EVEN, swap the first and last digits.
   • ODD, swap the second and fourth digits.
3. Shift the code right by 2 digits, looping the edges.
   • EXAMPLE: 12345 -> 45123
4. If the total number of alarm trips is even, reverse the code.
5. If MODE is 3, invert the code.
   • EXAMPLE: 01234 -> 98765

Submit the code to disable the alarm. Use the MODE button to clear the display.

*If the most recently solved module’s name doesn’t start with an english letter or number, it’s automatically ignored and will not be tracked.

**The alarm will trip sometime between 1 and 3 module solves, and Security Modules will always trip. Blacklisted modules are not tracked.
