On the Subject of The Mid Circle

His hair? Mid. His gear? Mid. His jewelery? Mid. His footsteps? Mid. The way that he talks? Mid. The way that he doesn’t even like to smile? Mid.

This module contains 8 colored wedges arranged in a circle that is spinning either clockwise or counterclockwise.

First, determine the base color by taking the sum of the serial number digits, modulo 8. Refer to Table A to find the base color based on the found value.

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Magenta White Black

Next, start from the base color, and count as many spaces away it takes to get to the next color on the circle in the sequence shown in Table A (From left to right). If the circle is spinning clockwise, count that many spaces clockwise. If the circle is spinning counterclockwise, count that many spaces counterclockwise.

Take note of the number of spaces between each color. Keep counting the spaces until you end up back at the base color again. Each time you end up at the next color of the sequence is referred to as a step.

In Table B, find the intersection between the current step in the sequence and the number of spaces between the two colors. Press the wedge with that color.

Pressing an incorrect wedge will incur a strike, and will reset your input to the first step. Pressing all eight correct wedges will disarm the module.
