On the Subject of Not Laundry

“Your Laundry read is yellow, 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock, iron and bleach”

If the coin slot is yellow, the displays say “IRON” and “BLEACH”, and the arrow buttons change the display text, you are looking at a different module.

  • The module will initially display the left and right dials at a random rotation, and the bottom displays to a random Laundry setting.
  • Both of the dials have a value from 0 to 11 that corresponds to its orientation. Rotation values start with 0 being exactly up and increasing by 1 each step going clockwise.
  • Use the displays on the module to determine which letter rule to use with Table 1.
  • Using the letter obtained, note the variables listed in the row of the letter and the column of the current press in Table 2.
  • If the colour of the coin slot is green, press the left dial if the rule is true or the right dial if the rule is false.
  • Otherwise if the coin slot is red, press the right dial if the rule is true or the left dial if the rule is false.
  • After a dial has been pressed, it will rotate once and may change the answer of the following presses.
  • The dials must be pressed 3 times total to solve the module.
  • If an incorrect dial is pressed, a strike will be issued and the dial will still rotate.

Using the information from Table 2, follow the conditions below for each press of the dials.

  1. The two values from the first press column on Table 2 add up to an even number.
  2. The two values from the second press column on Table 2 add up to an even number.
  3. The sum of the two dial rotations matches the parity of the third press column on Table 2.

Note: On the next page, "Modules" refers to the number of solvable, non-needy modules on the bomb.

The dials will stay consistent with their displayed image depending on orientation. This table may help determining the values of the dials:
