- This module contains a display, 10 cycling LEDs, and 4 fluorescent lights.
- Pressing the button when a specific LED is lit up will travel through time the amount of years displayed on the screen. If the LED is green, you’ll go forwards in time, and if it’s red, you’ll go backwards.
- The fluorescent lights give two binary numbers. Starting from the leftmost light, go counter clockwise, and check for the presence of white and/or red. If it’s present, put a one, otherwise put a zero. This will give you a two digit number, with white corresponding to the tens place and red corresponding to the ones place. Red and white might combine to make pink, or be both absent to make black.
- These two digits are used in the table below to get a constraint as to which years you can and cannot travel. Travel to a valid year to solve the module.
