On the Subject of Quintuples
“Quintuple” has its roots in the Latin for five. There are lots of fives to think about here.
- The module consists of a cycling number display and an input matrix.
- Five digits will cycle in five positions and in one of five colours. The cycling number will be blank at the start of each cycle.
- Using the table below, enter the correct response code to disarm the module.
- For each digit, if the colour matches with the relevant cell in the table, apply the match rule for that digit.
- Apply the corresponding process to each iteration of the cycle and enter your response in iteration order, followed by the submit button.
- In each instance, the modulo of the flashes refers to the total number of that colour flash on the module.
- Entering an incorrect response will cause a strike.
- Treat any 0s (zeros) received from the display as 10s.
