Ok I have spent 2 days trying to figure out “the Lock” i am in the process of building a 3d model of the cube. AM I correct that it is birds eye view???? or am I way off??? HELP!!!!!!

[Puzzle Prime]

Hello Elizabeth,

A 3D model may help, but try first to sketch the shape of the body when you look at it from above, below, left, and right. Let me know if you need more help.

Hi Jordan. Look at this 3D model, it should help you figure out the code.

[Miranda]

I need help I looked at the 3-d model but still cant figure it out. Are the numbers on the lock the only ones that can be used in the 4-digit code?

[Puzzle Prime]

Hello Miranda. I see you have reached the next puzzle, so I believe this one is solved.

[Arielle]

I’m looking at the 3d model but the red side doesn’t make a number

[Puzzle Prime]

Hey Arielle. The red face looks like an elongated rectangle. It resembles the number “1”.

[Arielle]

I’m coming up with 0201 if I assume the side opposite blue is orange. and that’s not right

[Arielle]

merp. I got it

[Anastasia .]

Hi, I can’t figure all the numbers out!

[Puzzle Prime]

Hi Anastacia. Imagine you are looking at the block from 4 different sides. The digits will look a bit like an electronic watch numbers.

[Anastasia .]

I think I know 3 of the numbers but can’t figure out orange

[Puzzle Prime]

Yes, the orange is tricky… You can notice that it is not on the front, on the back, on the left, on the right, or on the top. There is only one place left where it can be:)

[Anastasia .]

I can’t see it!

[Puzzle Prime]

It is on the bottom. If you can’t figure it out, you can also just test the 10 remaining possibilities.

Hi, I can’t access any of the 3d thingies. Can you make a new one?

[Puzzle Prime]

Hey william. Unfortunately, I have lost the design files:(

If you look at the green side orthogonally, you will see the digit 2, similarly to the way it is expressed on electronic watches. If you struggle to figure out the other digits, feel free to add me as a connection and I will send you the correct answer.

Hi, I am stuck with this question. Can I have a hint?

[Puzzle Prime]

Hello Seanix. Here is how the object looks like from the top. Just imagine how it looks like from the other sides:)

Happy Holidays!
