On the Subject of Planets for Cheaters

Why do people do this... The Milky Way shouldn’t be on a bomb! But not a problem! Here is a cheat.

This module consists of a planet, a keypad (0–9), a delete button and a space button.

Use this formula to calculate the solution:


Multiply:
(((strip1 × strip2 × strip3 × strip4 × strip5 (Table1) +/- No.from Table2) × Table3 × (5 if strip5 is white or off)) % 1000)
×
((123 × PlanetNo + 5× Batt + 6× Lit Ind + 4 × Ports + + 10 × Solves) % 1000)
Strips are numbered from top to bottom.

Planet Identification

BE CAREFUL WITH THE STRIP COLORS. Green looks almost like Lime. And Orange looks similar to yellow.
