Download "Bank Vault Problem"(6 sprites and 28 scripts) and open it in Scratch Project Notes
Oh, No! The president of the bank has forgotten the combination to the bank vault and Needs YOUR Help! How many tries will it take you to guess the forgotten combination? But Wait! You Do Not need to guess! If you ask the Robots for help, they will give you the clues you need to get it right on the First Try! This puzzle comes from the fourth experiment in the original 1963 Digi-Comp-1 manual. The lucky owners of this working mechanical computer could discover the code that would set all three digits to Ones (and thereby open the bank vault) by studying the control rod placement. In that same spirit, you can analyze the clues provided by the Robots and discover the code.

Thanks. I agree that an expanded version would be more fun. Maybe a future upgrade. Part of my fun has been to write Scratch programs based on the 3-bit mechanical computer Digi-comp.

cool--though perhaps it could be more challenging and thus improved with multi-digit possibilities and more tumblers as opposed to three with just ones and zeroes. still love it though
