On the Subject of Zap Plate

Society currently lists electronic, so isn’t conducting resistance ironic?

The Plate on the module can be pressed on a specific time to solve the Module.

Calculate your starting location in Table DYN4MO using the Serial Number. The column index is its third character and the row index is the sixth. The table’s top left corner is (0;0).

For more information, see Shared Appendix V O I D.

  1. Start with n = 6.
  2. Void every line whose index is a multiple of n. For this situation, the first line is indexed 1 and the index increases going downwards.
  3. Go down the table from your current location, noting every digit you encounter until you have 6 digits.
    Do not note down the cell you start on, move first.
    When you go down out of the table, go back to the top, moving one column to the right. If you are on the rightmost column, go to the leftmost.
  4. Once you have all 6 digits, subtract 1 from n.
    If n isn’t equal to 1: stay at your current location, remove the Void from the lines and go back to step 2.

If your location begins in a Voided line, go down until you find the first non-Voided line.
This becomes your first digit.

Concatenate each group of 6 digits to get a total of five 6-digit numbers.
Add them together, and take the digital root of the result.

To get the digital root, continuously add all digits in the number until you’re left with a single digit.

Submit by pressing the Plate when the last digit on the bomb’s timer is equal to the number you just obtained.

Shared Appendix V O I D:

Voided cells are considered to not exist anymore. Cells aligned on either sides are considered adjacent and at a distance of 1. This includes diagonals.

You can move from one side of a Voided cell to another in a single movement. You cannot stop a movement onto a Voided cell.

Neighbors of a Voided Cell are the cells directly adjacent to it (unless one of them is a Voided cell, in which case the neighbors are of course one cell further).

Each arrow represents a single movement of length one Here are the 8 neighbors of a cell with Void around it Distances of a cell with Void in its surroundings
