On the Subject of The Samsung

If you have a hard time keeping up with Apple phones and which version is which, you’ll have a horrible time with Samsung’s.

This module consists of 9 apps, in random positions, except for settings, which will always be in the center.

To solve the module, factory reset the phone by entering an 8-digit pin in the settings app, obtaining one digit from each other app.

In order to allow for as much screen space as possible, the status light has been omitted. The front camera serves as a replacement.

Duolingo			Photomath
Google Maps			Spotify
Kindle			Google Arts & Culture
Google Authenticator			Discord

On the home screen, click an app to enter it. This will enable the home button, which is a clickable area at the bottom of the screen, taking you back to the home screen.

Submitting an incorrect pin will incur a strike, but the solution will never change.

Pressing the notification LED, (which can be found in the top left corner), will regenerate Photomath or Discord if they are open, without changing the solution. Pressing it when neither of those two apps are opened will do nothing.

Duolingo:

Three words will be displayed, written in a foreign language. They will spell out a simple math expression (e.g. “five plus nine”). Calculate the answer to this expression, then add that to the digit corresponding to the language the expression is written in. Take the absolute value of that modulo 10 as this app’s digit.

Ignore all decimals when calculating.

Google Maps:

A pair of coordinates will be displayed, in latitude-longitude form. The digit for this app is the difference between the digits that correspond to the countries that contain these coordinates in the table below.

0	1	2	3	4
United States	Canada	Mexico	Russia	Germany
5	6	7	8	9
Australia	United Kingdom	China	Brazil	South Africa

Kindle:

Four words will be displayed. They are an excerpt from one of the quotes below. Every word has had its letters shifted forwards by a certain amount. The digit for this app is the digit that corresponds to the excerpt plus the amount the letters are shifted by, modulo 10. (Ignore all punctuation and casing.)

0	"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."	5	"We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are."
1	"There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights."	6	"Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches."
2	"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."	7	"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."
3	"Bet I know something else you don’t. There’s dew on the grass in this morning."	8	"Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other."
4	"We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom."	9	"There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory."

Google Authenticator:

This app displays 3 six-digit numbers. When the progress bar at the bottom disappears, 3 new numbers will be generated. Every number applies to one of the conditions listed below. The digit that corresponds to the condition is the digit for this app.

0. Digital root is 8
1. Perfect square
2. Divisible by 7
3. Modulo 5 is odd
4. Digital root is 3 or 4
5. Divisible by 6
6. Digital root is 7
7. Divisible by 9
8. Digital root is 5
9. Modulo 6 is odd

Photomath:

Press the start button to cycle through a set of 4 mathematical symbols, each with a specific color. After the first cycle, a keypad written in symbols and some circles will appear, and the cycle can be repeated any time without consequence.

Take the grid below that corresponds to the last digit of the serial number. This is the placement of the digits on the keypad. Use this to associate symbols with digits. The colors of the circles on the bottom correspond to the operators +, -, *, and / in that order.

Using the symbol that flashes in the corner once per cycle as the starting value, perform the operations in the order of the cycle, using the color for the operator and the symbol for the digit. Ignore all decimals. Take the absolute value, modulo 1000 and submit this answer using the keypad to get this app’s solution in the form of its symbol. Use the green button to submit, and the red button to clear. Striking or playing the sequence again also clears input.

Note: When this app’s digit is displayed, the keypad will be hidden, so keep track of each symbol’s value.

Spotify:

Press the play button to hear a snippet of a song. The position of the song playing in the table below (starting from 0) is the digit for this app. An ad will be played before the snippet. NOTE: if you do not see a crossed out copyright symbol in the bottom left of this app, use this manual instead.

Danny Don’t You Know	At The Speed of Light	Vitality	Exit This Earth’s Atomosphere	Ransom
New Friendly	Astronomia	Spanish Flea	Mountain King	Clutterfunk

Google Arts & Culture:

A painting will be displayed, as well as some text stating the (alleged) artist. If the displayed painting is not shown in the following table, always use the last digit of the serial number as this app’s digit. Otherwise, use the position of this app on the homescreen to obtain a starting digit:

1st of birth year	2nd of birth year	3rd of birth year
4th of birth year	N/A	1st of death year
2nd of death year	3rd of death year	4th of death year

Identify the artist of the painting shown to obtain the starting digit. Consider each row in the table below to have its paintings numbered from 1 - 5, and call the index of the displayed painting n. If the text correctly identifies the artist, use the nth even digit in the set 0 - 9. If it doesn’t, use the nth odd digit. Add this digit to the starting digit. The result modulo 10 is this app’s digit.

	Bob Ross	Picasso	Da Vinci	Van Gogh
Birth year	1942	1881	1452	1853
Death year	1995	1973	1519	1890

Discord:

Multiple people’s profile pictures will be displayed in a pattern. To determine the first person to call, observe a Braille letter, (with A1 being position 1 and B3 being position 6), to obtain a direction.

Set:	Braille characters in set:	Direction:
A	B, G, N, O, V, X, FOR, ED, GG, IN	If the number of modules on the bomb is even, up, otherwise down
B	A, K, P, T, AND, BB, CH, EN, OU, ST	If there is a lit MSA or NSA, left, otherwise right
C	E, I, M, S, U, Y, CC, EA, ER, OW	If the serial number contains C, Ø, R, or A, down, otherwise left
D	C, F, L, Q, Z, THE, AR, ING, SH, TH	If the number of batteries + the number of holders is even, up, otherwise right
E	D, H, J, R, W, WITH, FF, GH, OF, WH	If the SN doesn’t contain a vowel, down, otherwise right
No character	N/A	If an empty port plate is present, up, otherwise left

This direction refers to the user that is the farthest that way, without being tied.

The first person you call will be doing an activity. Identify the activity, and press the mute button when the last digit of the timer is the activity’s position in reading order in the table below. (Starting from 0.)

Defusing a bomb	Playing Jackbox	Playing Tabletop Simulator	Reacting to a new module	Complaining about sleep
Experting for a bomb	Arguing	Talking about food	Being right back	Any other activity

If this is done successfully, the user will describe a symbol and then a color, then the call will end.

The second user to call is the one whose name appears first on the following table, ignoring the first person you called, and using the direction you used as the column.

Up:	Right:	Down:	Left:
TasThiluna	Timwi	Deaf	Blananas
Blananas	eXish	Procyon	TasThiluna
Numdegased	SillyPuppy	Espik	Timwi
Espik	Zaakeil	Zaakeil	Numdegased
eXish	Procyon	Blananas	eXish
SillyPuppy	Numdegased	TasThiluna	Espik
Deaf	Deaf	Timwi	Procyon
Timwi	Espik	eXish	Zaakeil
Zaakeil	Blananas	SillyPuppy	Deaf
Procyon	TasThiluna	Numdegased	SillyPuppy

When the second user is called, a symbol will appear, cycling first through various symbols and then through colors. Submit the symbol and color that the user from the first call described. Use the mute button to submit the currently displayed symbol/color. When this is done successfully, the user will say a sentence containing this app’s digit, and the call will end.

Note: The sentences containing digits may contain them as homophones.

Note: Users will never repeat themselves.

TasThiluna	Deaf	Blananas	Timwi	Numdegased
Zaakeil	Espik	Procyon	eXish	SillyPuppy

Settings:

Once every app’s digit is obtained, submit the answer in this app, which will always be in the center. To determine the order of submission, first obtain a direction based on the first 2 characters of the serial number, where X represents a letter and # a number:

XX	X#	#X	##
North	East	South	West

If a parallel port is present, move this direction one space counter-clockwise. Otherwise, if a serial port is present, move it one space clockwise. Otherwise, keep it as is.

The first digit of the solution is the digit of the app in this direction from the center. The second digit of the solution is the digit of the app 1 space clockwise from the first, and so on.

Enter the solution using the keypad and submit it to disarm the module. Use the green button to submit, and the red button to clear what you’ve typed.

If an incorrect code is submitted, the positions of the digits that were incorrect in the submitted code will flash in red.
