The Teardrop

On the Subject of The Teardrop

I was definitely not projecting when making this module.

This module has a teardrop button and a display.
To disarm the module, press the teardrop when the last digit of the timer matches the resulting number.

Take all present indicators (unlit or lit) and sort them in alphabetical order.
Take the first indicator from that list and use Table 1 to identify who is crying.
Use the first column in reading order whose conditions are satisfied.

Table 1.
Indicator	Even number of ports	Odd number of batteries	Sum of serial number digits is composite	More lit indicators than unlit indicators	Otherwise:
BOB	Selena	Belerick	Wanwan	Estes	Lapu-Lapu
CAR	Thamuz	Esmeralda	Silvanna	Rafaela	Fanny
CLR	Harith	Granger	Atlas	Argus	Chou
FRK	Leomord	Badang	Lylia	Gatotkaca	Vexana
FRQ	Kimmy	Khufra	Cecilion	Roger	Moskov
IND	Uranus	Guinevere	Carmilla	Harley	Lancelot
MSA	Aldous	Terizla	Barats	Hanabi	Odette
NSA	Kadita	Dyrroth	Paquito	Grock	Fredrinn
SIG	Claude	Nolan	Benedetta	Gusion	Johnson
SND	Vale	Ling	Mathilda	Zilong	Alucard
TRN	Kaja	Lunox	Ruby	Alpha	Hayabusa
none	Ixia	Novaria	Julian	Melissa	Cici

First, create a string based on the alphabet (i.e., “ABCD…WXYZ”).
Apply the following operations to the string if their respective conditions are satisfied.

Table 2. String Operations

Condition	Operation
The product of the number of batteries and the number of ports is odd.	Reverse the string.
The sum of the digits of the serial number is prime.	Take the letters ‘P’, ‘R’, ‘I’, ‘M’, and ‘E’ out, then place “PRIME” at the front of the string.
There are more batteries than letters in the serial number.	Cut the string in half, then place the second half in front of the first.
The serial number contains at least one character in the word “TEARDROP”.	Take the letters ‘C’, ‘R’, and ‘Y’ out, then place “CRY” at the end of the string.
The total number of modules is even.	Take the letter in the position of the last digit* of the serial number, then place it at the end.
The total number of modules is odd.	Take the letter in the position of the first digit* of the serial number, then place it at the end.
BUT! If both a single Parallel port and a Lit BOB indicator are present:	Ignore all previous rules and return to the original alphabet string.

Then, based on this new string, place the original alphabet string above it.
Convert each letter of the text in the display from the top row to the bottom row to decrypt it.

Example:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
QKXYFJVDZSBGHLARNWUPIOCETM

(top row) PXLPXY → (bottom row) REGRET

*If the digit is a 0, shift the 10th letter in the string instead.

Convert each letter of the name of the person crying into numbers based on their position in the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, …, Z = 26).
Do the same for the decrypted word.
Add all of the numbers from both the name and the decrypted word and modulo 10 their sum.
Press the teardrop when the last digit of the timer matches this number.

Notes:

See Appendix T34RDR0P for the list of possible decrypted words and a useful link to convert letters to numbers conveniently.
See Appendix MATH for the definitions of the unfamiliar math terms used.

Math Term	Definition
Prime	A whole number that is only divisible by one and itself. e.g., 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, …
Composite	A whole number with at least one divisor other than 1 and itself. e.g. all even numbers greater than 2, multiples of primes
Note: 1 is neither prime nor composite.
modulo n	An operation that means to add or subtract an integer by n until it is within the range of 0 to n-1 inclusive. Example: 8 modulo 6 8 - 6 = 2 Check: Is 2 within [0,7]? Since this is true, the operation stops.
