On the Subject of The Small Circle
Honey, I shrunk the module!
- This module contains 8 colored wedges arranged in a circle that is spinning either clockwise or counterclockwise.
- Initially, the wedges can be pressed without consequence, provided they are not held down when the timer changes.
- One of the wedges will make a different sound than the others when pressed.
- Note the color of this wedge, then hold any wedge for over a second. This will cause the colors to fade out, then fade back into a new permutation.
- This permutation will be the same as the previous one, but shifted 1–8 places in the opposite direction the circle is spinning.
- Consult the table below using the amount the sequence shifted as the row and the color from before as the column to obtain 3 instructions, which can be interpreted using the directions below the table to get a sequence of 3 colors to press and disarm the module.
- Press the status light to fully reset the module.

- A: If red is adjacent to yellow or white, green, otherwise magenta.
- B: If orange is opposite to magenta or black, blue, otherwise red.
- C: If yellow is adjacent to no secondary colors (orange, green, and magenta), black, otherwise orange.
- D: If the shorter number of wedges between green and the color used in the table is less than the number of batteries, white, otherwise yellow. *
- E: If blue has already been pressed, orange, otherwise black.
- F: If magenta has not been pressed yet, blue, otherwise white.
