LockCode answer: 3041
The clues and what each one tells you:
- 1430 has every digit of the code — only the order is wrong.
- 1285: 0 in the right place, 1 in the wrong place — 1 of 1, 2, 8, 5 are in the code.
- 6792 scored nothing, so 6, 7, 9, 2 are all out.
- 2085: 1 in the right place, 0 in the wrong place — 1 of 2, 0, 8, 5 are in the code.
- After all clues, 3 codes remain possible.
With 3 candidates left, a good second guess splits them by feedback so the third guess is forced. Read the LockCode strategy guide for the method.
