A Kiwiships Suggestion

[Android]

Woah woah woah. Don't go ruining my vault's reputation Mr. I Can Remove Any Block In Any Town, and also you Senor I Like to use Block Lag.

There is no way for a normal person to get in. At all.

Nevermind what I said, apparently the vault has got 12 levers. That is - if my calculations are correct - 4095 different combinations. Add one more lever and you get 8191 combinations. Add more and it keeps doubling.

However, if it only had say, six levers that is only 63 combinations.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new with the binary stuff. Herp.

Yotta I am dissapoint that you did the math for that

A combination lock doesn't matter if the bank has been lifted into the wild by a Kiwiship

I think you are off by one Yotta, whenever I do combination locks I just use 2^n with n being the number of possible combinations. So a lock with 6 switches would have 64 combinations 63 of which are incorrect and 12 would have 4096, 4095 of which will fail to open the vault.

Combination locks are really insufficient for security though. A good vault employs timers/sequencing to make it infinitely more complex. And with pistons the timer can have a variable combination that changes randomly at a designated time interval.

I knew I got something wrong. For some reason I was thinking one less. Hm....

Actually, I am a computer and I start counting at zero. That's what I got wrong. You humans Now that I'm writing it down like this, it makes way more sense to you.

1 lever: 0 1 = 2 combinations
2 levers: 00 01 10 11 = 4 combinations
3 levers: 000 001 010 011 100 101 111 = 8 combinations
4 levers: 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 = 16 combinations

Oops. This is way off topic. I am so very sorry.
