Can you solve this game?

It helps if you have a background in computer science, but if you're clever enough, you may be able to solve it.

Finished with two minutes to spare. The keypad really messed me up. [redacted]

EDIT: The problem I had may have been part of the puzzle.

I can't figure out the pattern on the keypad. Cool game.

There is a mathematical pattern. Simple arithmetic.

I got it now. I had the impression that when I had it right I would see the numbers on the screen.

Solved in 1:21, but I play Sudoku, know binary, and know hex colour coding.

The first puzzle I brute forced, but I can't see any other way to do it anyway.
Second is Sudoku
Third is binary
Fourth is multiplication - I used Calc just to make sure I didn't make a mistake.

I think the fourth puzzle is unfair because there is no way to figure it out from the evidence provided, you have to know already - that means anyone who hasn't experienced representing colours by three hex pairs has a 50/50 chance of finishing the game based on pure luck.

Yeah, did anyone see a way other than trial and error to get the code on the box?

Fewww I made it. I thought I would never get it to equal 1111. I had it so close at 1109 and even 1110 and then finallly got it. Then I just quickly went and cut the red one and lived.

No, but it does require some strategy. The digits don't correspond to the lights beneath them, something you could easily screw up if you weren't paying attention.
