@TLW, is that an American or British octillion?
@madness
It does not really matter in the context of the question both spell it the same.
The quantity however does matter – in Britain and Germany the number has the value
of one followed by 48 zeros (10^48), in the US, Canada, and France the number
is one followed by 27 zeros (10^27).With reference to #2 A SYMBOL IN PLACE
Just to let you know that concatenation is allowed.Is anyone trying to open the safe given in post #87217?
A little logic and counting is all that is required. Maybe the model number is a clue!
The 4 indicating there are 4 numbers and the . . .“WHAT WILL YOU FIND INSIDE?”
The box number 23? 🙂
@f6exb 🙂🙂🙂🙂 you or SOMEONE is going to have to open it to find out!
I am told that the model No. helps the owner to remember the code.
Please, someone, prove to me that the safe is not secure.My solution to the god puzzle:
Q1 to god A: If I ask you if “ja” means “yes”, and if you ask god C whether you are sitting next to the random god, will the answers be the same?
It should be obvious what the other questions are, so I leave writing them as an exercise for the reader.

@f6exb I punched those numbers in and – – – nothing happened !========================== NEW POST
@f6exb
I see your logic, nice try, unfortunately it is in error.
Hint: The letters do not reference numbers but words.
FYI Your first number has one digit incorrect.6350?
I’ve bought a Christmas tree from the 1K Christmas Tree Company. Can you work out how many candles and baubles I need to complete the bottom row?

You are first to give the code so you get the ACCOLADE well done.[Edited by Harry …
Sorry, but you know the rules, I can’t post the challenge without a solution first! Try resubmitting.]

@Rhydwen, Post #87767
You are first to give the code so you get the ACCOLADE well done.. . . you see a box having the number 21. Removing it from
the safe you also see NCC on the side. You reach into the box and
take out a gold medal and a piece of paper bearing the following:ooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0OooooooO0Ooo

Jc Qd JdHow the safe was opened.
The clue was in the model number 4CAC0.
The 4 indicating a four digit code needed.
Assume diamond forms a ‘circular’ dial then
each digit pressed indicated how many clicks to then move C or A.
CAC: The sequence, C = Clockwise A = Anticlockwise.
A zero being at the end indicated the last digit of the code so
logic should have shown the need to finish on zero (no more moves).In short:
Starting on left hand 6
6 clicks Clockwise to 3
3 clicks Anticlock to 5
5 clicks Clockwise to 0
0 moves – it opens.@Rhydwen CHRISTMAS TREE
