metacafe.com— A great way to figure out the combination to a lock that you had forgotten what it was. This is intended for information purposes only.

The way I learned recently was this:Write down the 3rd number. Add four to it 10 times mod 40 (so just wrap around 36 -> 0 -> 4). That's your first list.Add 2 to every number in the first list. This is your second list. No remainder crap necessary.
"if your remainder was a 3 or a 4 subtract 2 to that number."Should be "if your remainder was a 2 or a 3 subtract 2 from that number."If you divide the number by 4, you can't have a remainder of 4. Don't feel too bad he messed it up in the video.

I wonder how long it took someone (whether it was this guy or not) to figure this out.

I have two combination locks made by master. On one I have the combo, the other I don't. This "trick" doesn't work on either of them.
