On the Subject of Simon’s Knobs

This is like one of those toys you played with as a kid:= needlessly complicated and endlessly needy.

  1. One of the knobs must be turned to the correct position before the timer hits zero.
  2. The correct position can be determined by the sequence of four flashing colours that matches the number of strikes.
  3. All knobs must be in different positions. Positions are relative to the Up label.
