On the Subject of Pattern Recognition
Dat dot dot dash? Dats not dot dot dash! Dish dash dot dash!
Note: If the blinking lantern isn’t constantly flashing the same pattern, you are looking at the wrong manual.A “Pattern Recognition” module has a lantern flashing a consistent pattern of lights of two different lengths - long and short. The module also has a frequency transmitter that can be activated using “TX”.
Use the flashing lantern’s pattern to transmit a resonant frequency that busts the correct internal part and solve the module.
- A short pulse of light is written as: ●
- A long pulse of light is written as: ▬
- The light pattern will cycle repeatedly and can start anywhere in the pattern, whether it be beginning, middle, or end.
- Determine the flashing pattern and look it up in the table below.
- Respond at one of the three possible frequencies assigned to the correct pattern.
- Only 8 of the possible 18 frequencies are available. Transmit the only frequency available that corresponds to the flashing pattern.
