The number of people who can solve these types of questions, which we make content from time to time, is quite high. This time we are here with a question that requires a little more effort.
It is possible to solve this question, for which we gave exactly 5 clues, with logic, mathematics and perseverance. Let’s see if you can be one of those who can solve it quickly.
Let’s say you forgot the three-digit password of your lock. Fortunately, you remember the 5 tips.
These clues are as follows:
Hint 1: 682 (One digit is correct and in place)
Hint 2: 614 (One digit is correct but in the wrong place)
Hint 3: 206 (Two digits are correct but both are in the wrong place)
Hint 4: 738 (All digits are wrong)
Hint 5: 380 (One digit is in the right but wrong place) )
Before you move on to the solution, focus and show that you deserve your IQ.
You can solve it more easily by using paper and pencil.
If you feel like you’re wasting your time, let’s jump right into the solution:
Hint 4: 738: (All digits are wrong)
You need to start with this hint first. Because we know that the numbers 7, 3 and 8 should not be used. Which brings us to the next clue, which includes 3 and 8.
Hint 5: 380: (One digit is correct but in the wrong place)
So the correct number here is 0. If its location is incorrect, it must be either in the first digit or in the second digit.
Hint 3: 206: (Two digits are correct but both are in the wrong place)
Since 0 is the correct number, one of the 2 or 6 is correct. Given that two correct numbers are in the wrong place, then the 0 cannot be the second digit. Since we know that it cannot be in the third digit, we find that the exact location of the 0 is the first row.
1st clue: 682 (One digit is correct and in place)
We eliminated 8 at the beginning, since we know that 6 is 0 instead of 6, the last digit has to be 2.
Hint 2: 614: (One digit is correct but in the wrong place)
After that, it’s child’s play. We only need one digit, according to the clue one digit is in the right but wrong place so our answer should be 4.
Thus, our password is decrypted.
Congratulations to those who were able to unlock!
