Defuse the bomb!

You have 15 minutes.

I made it with 7:00 minutes to spare on the first try; so, it must be very easy. It's fun though.

That was kinda cool. I did a bunch of binary and logic problems all the time when I was programming PLCs

Guess I'm over thinking it... I've blown up 3 times now... 15 mins x's 3 = 45 mins that I;ve spent working on the stinking key pad. I had it opened the first time in 1 minute. But the key pad has me .

I made it, but I didn't have 7:00 to spare. Probably about 2:30 or so.

Yup, the keypad has to be something more than just sticking the loose keys in. I've tried every possible combination and none of them work. There's only 16 possible arrangements. I won't bother again until somebody reveals a hint.

I hated math but wouldn't it be 256 combinations? 4^4 right?

4 key positions, each has 4 possible options. 4X4 is 16. I never found a pattern, I just kept trying different placements.

I went back and tried it again, finally got it. The second number challenge was too simple.

Oops, I was wrong on the number of combinations. See below for the correct answer.

I ended up getting it with shade over 7:00 mins to spare.
Just on the keypad part I believe there are 24 combos.
But the kicker is they have to be in the right "position"
ON the pad itself.
Here are the combos, even though it wont help you for
position.

0369 3069 6039 9036
0396 3096 6093 9063
0639 3609 6309 9306
0693 3690 6390 9360
0936 3906 6903 9603
0963 3960 6930 9630

But like I said even though you now have the possible combos, you still have
to put them in the right position.

I wish you hadn't of given it completely away....

I figured it had something to do with 15 because the word fifteen in the instructions was in a green font. I just couldnt figure out how it had to do with 15.
