Chapter Four: Safe Cracking
« on: September 09, 2021, 08:32:37 am »
I don't know, man, I lose my touch, man.
Did you ever have a touch to lose, man?



Today, we'll be studying the art of safe-cracking, a must for any successful heist.  In this challenge, I will generate for each tribe a random five-digit number, and post it in your tribe forum.  This number could fall anywhere from 00000 to 99999.  To help you imagine what we're working with, see the below:


Keeping the above image in mind to understand how this works, your tribe will then be given the first part of the challenge to shuffle those numbers.  You must turn the existing numbers a total of fifteen times. 

You can turn the number dials either upward or downward, but in all cases the number of spins used will be counted in the most efficient manner.  For example, turning a number from 9 over to 0 always uses one turn, not nine.

You have 4 hours to shuffle your number.  For the remaining 20 hours of the challenge, each tribe will try to crack the lock of the opposing tribe.

Your tribe will be provided the opposing tribe’s shuffled number, and may make an official guess as follows:
GUESS: 12345

A moderator listening to the safe with a stethoscope will be on hand to give you the results.

If the correct combination was 52346, the mods would say:
4 total numbers correct. 3 correct numbers in the correct place.

The tribe that correctly solves their opponent's combination in the fewest guesses wins immunity.  If both tribes take the same number of turns to crack the safe, the tribe whose own combination has the higher sum of all digits wins.  If the result is a tie and both tribes have picked the same combination, the tie will be broken by RNG.

@mod do we get the opposing tribe's original number, or what specifically is the number that is given to us?
if the original code is: 12345
code is shuffled to: 45678
will we be given 12345, or will we be given something like 34215?

You get your own original safe combination number to start with. You will decide what to scramble it to in the next four hours to protect it from the other tribe.  Then, each tribe will be given the opposing tribe's scrambled combination and can begin cracking the code.

Clarification: The tiebreaker is based on the SHUFFLED combination you are currently creating now, not the secret code we RNG’d for your tribe.

Challenge Four Results

Let's see how the tribes did.  First off, let's check the tiebreaker:

Tiebreaker
The sum of the scrambled digits for each tribe are...

Camp Ivanhoe: 40
Rushmore Academy: 25

Camp Ivanhoe takes the tiebreaker!

But will they open the safe quickly enough for it to matter?
Main event
Rushmore Academy has broken the Camp Ivanhoe combination, and a satisfying click sound is heard as they spin the last dial into place!

Open the safe


Spoiler
What's this???  They're too late!  The safe is empty.

Rushmore Academy solved Camp Ivanhoe's lock in four moves.
Camp Ivanhoe did the deed in just three moves.

Camp Ivanhoe wins immunity!  Rushmore Academy, I'll be seeing you at Tribal Council.
