Can You Crack The Vault?

602 or 402, or 102? The only constant from the first and seconds set is 6. if 6 is in the code, it can't be the first number.The second set is the only one that has 4(614) and if that's in the code, it's wrong placed. The set (206) says two of the number are correct but wrong placed. So if zero is in the code, it can't be in the middle.
062? (206) has all three numbers but only two of them are correct.
012? (614) is the only set with a 1 and if one is in the code, it can't be in the middle
065? The only one of those numbers in 682 is 6 and would be well placed. So, logically, that can't be it either.
 
Let's work it out together...

1. The most helpful information in the beginning is the fact that "738" are all incorrect and out of place. This means that we can eliminate those three numbers altogether.

2. The one right after that is "'780", which share two numbers with "738": the 7 and the 8, which we now know are both incorrect. That leaves the "0", which is said to be out of place... but now we at least know that it is correct. So we got a "0", and now we need to know where to put it.

3. Next, we look at "206". It says that two numbers are correct, but out of place. Seeing as how we already know that "0" is correct, that means that we already know one of the numbers that is correct in this sequence. Also, since we know that "0" is out of place in this sequence (being in the middle), and we ALSO know that it was out of place in the "780" sequence, that leaves only ONE place that it could be correct in: the first spot.

0__

4. Now let's go to "682". It says that ONE number is correct AND well-placed. Knowing for sure that the first number is "0", that eliminates "6". Then, knowing that 7,3, and 8 are all incorrect from before, that eliminates "8". So what we have left is "2"... Both correct and in the right place.

0_2

5. Now, we need to figure out the middle number, which takes us to the "614" sequence. In this sequence, one number is correct, but out of place. Since we've already eliminated "6", then that leaves us with "1" and "4". Only one of these numbers could possibly work at this point, since it has to be correct AND out of place. "4" is the only of these two numbers that could possibly be both out of place and correct at the same time, since we already know what the first and last number in the combination are. If "1" were correct, then it would also be IN place which would go against what was said, so that leaves us with "4", and since we already know the place that this last number is supposed to go, then we have figured it out:

206 has two correct. But placed incorrectly
It is 2 and 0, eliminate 6
20x
682=2 place right
0x2
From 614..one number is correct....14.
Can not be 1...one is middle number in 614
So it is to be
042
 
changing my answer to 042

738 - are all incorrect
780 - 0 is correct but wrong placed
206 - Since we know zero is correct and the caption says "two numbers are correct but wrong placed", then that means that 0 would be the first number of the code

Code: 0--

682 - caption says "One number is correct AND well placed. Since we know that zero is the first number of the code, that means 2 is the correct number that is well placed

Code: 0-2

614 - captions says "One number is correct but wrong placed." 1 can not be correct because it fails the criteria of the caption. If one was correct, then the caption was say "one number is correct and well placed." So that leaves 6 and 4.

Going back to 206; the caption says "two numbers correct, but wrong placed." We know 0 and 2 are correct and both are wrong placed, so that eliminates 6 from being correct, thus leaving 4 as the correct answer for 614.

Code: 042

Nah professor I cracked the code before you. I should do weather now :p:hmm:

Since I was the first to crack the code I need 5 dollars from every bgol member
 
For all of you saying 062, remember that the 206 statement says that only two numbers are correct.

606

6 is used twice...
Only 6 and zero can't be eliminated

That violates the 614 statement that there is one right number and it's out of place.
