• Multiply by 123.
• Multiply the number of solved modules by 10 then add to the number above.
• This is number A.

Step 2:

• Get the number of batteries multiplied by 5.
• Multiply the number of lit indicators by 6 then add the number above.
• This is number B.

Step 3:

• Get the number A.
• Add the number B.

• Add multiplied by .
• This is number C.

Step 4:

• Get the product of all the strip colour numbers from the reference below.
• Change the value based on the table strip change one.
• Multiply by the number in the table strip change two.
• Multiply by 5 if the last strip is off or white.
• This is number D.
