Wow! I wasted my time by not bothering to figure out the keypad pattern, and by the time I got to the wire selection and had did the multiplication of the hexadecimal conversions for the wire colors and was all ready to cut the black wire when my time ran out.

Anybody want to tell me the keypad pattern so I can beat it really quick to get my pride back?

It's simple. Just do trial-and-error one dial at a time. Start with the first dial, keep pushing the button on each number, once you get the right number for that dial, you'll get a green light somewhere. Once you get a green, go to the next dial and repeat the process. The order of the lights doesn't correspond to the order of the dials.

Thanks!

After that, it was smooth sailing. However, if it weren't for that little hint, I would have been dead anyway. Guess if someone rigs a bomb like that up for me, I am toast. 🙂
