On the Subject of Twisty Terminals
It’s all greek to me. I don’t know, fiddle about with it.
- This module consists of a 4×4 grid of terminals, each with four transceivers facing orthogonal directions.
- There are eight types of transceiver, marked with distinct symbols.
Adjacent terminals connect via these transceivers.
Not all pairs of transceivers can establish a connection:
Convert the characters of the serial number into pairs of transceivers using the table below. Only pairs of these types are capable of connecting to each other.
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Δ—Ω | Θ—Ψ | Ξ—Χ | Π—Φ | Δ—Φ | Θ—Χ |
| 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | A | B |
| Ξ—Ψ | Π—Ω | Δ—Ξ | Χ—Ω | Δ—Θ | Θ—Π |
| C | D | E | F | G | H |
| Ξ—Ω | Δ—Δ | Χ—Ψ | Π—Χ | Ξ—Π | Φ—Φ |
| I | J | K | L | M | N |
| Θ—Φ | Φ—Ω | Χ—Χ | Π—Ψ | Δ—Π | Δ—Ψ |
| O | P | Q | R | S | T |
| Θ—Ω | Π—Π | Θ—Ξ | Δ—Χ | Ψ—Ω | Θ—Θ |
| U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
| Ξ—Φ | Ψ—Ψ | Φ—Χ | Ξ—Ξ | Φ—Ψ | Ω—Ω |
- Selecting a terminal rotates it 90° clockwise and lights up the bulb at its centre.
-
Submit the current configuration by rotating a terminal 360°.
A terminal will light up green if it successfully connected to all of its neighbours, and light up red if at least one fails to connect.
