@mods 26599
You switch the numbers 26599 into place and hear a soft click.

Pull the handle
The door swings open!  Inside the safe, you see all Camp Ivanhoe's precious Incan gold!

Great job!  You did it!  But will it be enough to beat Camp Ivanhoe's attempt to crack your safe?  Stay tuned to find out.

There are a few that would've caused us to have more guesses, but like, so glad we got it in four

high fives foxy great work :)))

You did the brunt of the work here if I'm being honest.
I just did the simple work of checking the rules and ensuring things fit.

I want all of y'all to know I'm actually shaking right now just from the sheer nervousness of first - that guess, second - the excitement of seeing it was right, and now third - knowing we pretty much have it. Unless Ivanhoe got extremely lucky, we just win.

Wow, I'm so fucking impressed with (especially) Peter but Foxy too.  Goddamn you guys, that is fucking awesome.  I wish I could've helped but this type of number challenge is way beyond me.

I did the easier of the two tasks, Peter did the harder one. Still, extremely proud of Peter for this. <3

Peter, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you tell me how you came to the solution?

Peter, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you tell me how you came to the solution?

foxy found the solution! i just limited the options.

Essentially what I did for clues #2 and #3 were write out all the possible variations that were possible (2 of them were in the right spot. which meant 10 different variations, each with about 1000 strings each.) to limit them down, I combined things we knew from other clues (at least one 0-4 had to be used or we know at least another 5-9 had to be used).

For the 2nd clue, I slotted in one of the bigger numbers out of position (so for the 56xxx string I slotted in 568xx or 569xx etc...) Then since I knew at least one of the last two x's had to be 0-4 i could write out all those variations of 5680x, 5681x, 5682x, etc... so it was a lot of manually looking at EVERY STRING, but then using the fact that we could only rotate it 15 units to figure out the last digit.

So with the 2nd clue, I got down to 32 possibilities. With the 3rd clue, I did the same process and whichever were on both lists was the answer.
