On the Subject of Wind-Up Grommets
Rusty Dusty Four-hole Trouble
⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️
This is a module in the Wind-Up series.
Refer to Appendix WIND-UP KEY for important notes.
- The module holds 4 key grommets. Three in a row above the fourth.
- The top 3 pegs can be turned between 4 positions. The bottom peg can be turned to submit the current combo.
- Each peg, as well as the washer around the Submit Peg, can have 1 of 3 materials, each with a value:
| Copper | Brass | Steel |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
Follow these rules in the order they are listed. Perform the first action that applies. Any values below 1 or above 4 loop back around:
- All 3 Turn Pegs are the same material
- If the Submit Peg is the same material as the Submit Washer
- Right Turn Peg should be set to its own material, then subtract one going left
- ELSE
- Invert the values (copper = 4). Left Turn Peg should then be set to its own value, then add one going right
- If the Submit Peg is the same material as the Submit Washer
- There are more copper parts than brass or steel
- Set each copper Turn Peg to the Submit Washer plus the Submit Peg. All other Turn Pegs should be their material plus their position
- There are only 2 materials used
- Copper - Number of batteries, mod 4, +1
- Brass - 3rd + 6th serial number, mod 4, +1
- Steel - Number of ports, mod 4, +1
- All 3 Turn Pegs are different materials
- Copper - Copper + its position
- Brass - left peg + right peg
- Steel - Steel + Submit Washer
- If none of the above apply, Take the value of each Turn Peg and add the Submit Washer
