Featured Puzzle: Safecracker #1
I wanted to do something different than the standard Mastermind-style Crack the Code puzzles. Sometime back, I stumbled across this Dutch presentation of the concept, which uses a series of equation clues.
- The safe has 5 dials, labeled A-E. Each has a range of numbers from 1-8.
- One hint: The solving technique uses math, but there is not enough information to use algebra.
- E + D = 7
- B / 2 = C
- A x E = C
- B – D = 3
Look forward to a future Solving Guide for Safecracker puzzles.
The correct combination is:
- A: 2
- B: 8
- C: 4
- D: 5
- E: 2
