“How to avoid the third dimension”

• For each stage, in the tables below highlight the cell that corresponds to the coloured square on the module, your table number is displayed on the right*.
• Then note the darkened arrow on the right display and apply the force of gravity using the following rules:
  • If the arrow is an orthogonal direction, shift all coloured squares in that direction until they collide with their table’s border.
    (Example: if the arrow is right, then C4 (Table 3) → E4 (Table 3))
  • If the arrow is a diagonal direction, shift all coloured squares left/right throughout the tables while maintaining their position in the tables. For the bottom-left arrow shift to the left until you reach Table 1, and for the top-right arrow shift to the right until Table 5.
    (Example: if the arrow is bottom-left, then D2 (Table 4) → D2 (Table 1))
  • If a square blocks another square’s path, the moving square will halt its movement, stacking like expected. HOWEVER if both of them are the same colour, they will instead merge into one.

• After completing all stages, note the two digits on the right display. Plug them into the table on the next page, where the first column corresponds to the top digit, and the second column corresponds to the bottom digit. When using the table, if you’ve been told to change the color of a cell, ignore all further instructions for that specific cell.
• Using the buttons on the top-left of the module, colour the grid accordingly, and press submit. Upon a strike, the module will cycle through all previously displayed stages, press the submit button to return to the submission state and receive a new pair of digits.

*If this cell is already highlighted, override it with the new colour.

0	0	Recreate Table 1 on the module, and then do so for all other tables in ascending order.
	1	Treat all “1” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 5’s cells correspond to your first row, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” cells.
	2	Recreate Table 5 on the module, but swap rows 1 & 5, as well as 2 & 4. Repeat this process for the other tables in descending order.
	3	Treat all “5” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 1’s cells correspond to your first row, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “4”, “3”, “2”, and “1” cells.
1	0	Treat all “A” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 5’s cells correspond to your first column, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” cells.
	1	Treat all “1” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 5’s cells correspond to your first column, but swap columns A & E, as well as B & D (D1 → A4), recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “2”, “3”, “4”, and “5” cells.
	2	Treat all “E” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 5’s cells correspond to your first column, but swap rows 1 & 5, as well as 2 & 4, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “D”, “C”, “B”, and “A” cells.
	3	Treat all “5” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 5’s cells correspond to your first column (B5 → A2), recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “4”, “3”, “2”, and “1” cells.
2	0	Recreate Table 5 on the module, but swap columns A & E, as well as B & D, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for the other tables in descending order.
	1	Treat all “1” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 1’s cells correspond to your first row, but swap columns A & E, as well as B & D, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “2”, “3”, “4”, and “5” cells.
	2	Recreate Table 1 on the module, but invert all the positions (A1 → E5 ; D2 → B4 ; B5 → D1). Repeat this process for all other tables in ascending order.
	3	Treat all “5” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 5’s cells correspond to your first row, but swap columns A & E, as well as B & D, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “4”, “3”, “2”, and “1” cells.
3	0	Treat all “E” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 1’s cells correspond to your first column, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “D”, “C”, “B”, and “A” cells.
	1	Treat all “1” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 1’s cells correspond to your first column (D1 → A4). Repeat this process for all “2”, “3”, “4”, and “5” cells.
	2	Treat all “A” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 1’s cells correspond to your first column, but swap rows 1 & 5, as well as 2 & 4, recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E” cells.
	3	Treat all “5” cells as a 5x5 grid, where Table 1’s cells correspond to your first column, but swap columns A & E, as well as B & D (D5 → A2), recreate this grid on the module. Repeat this process for all “4”, “3”, “2”, and “1” cells.
