What is Digg?22 Comments
- Krusz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the information he neglected to tell you was that the first number is either the last number, or the last number + 4, or that +4 and so on, and the second number is the last number + 6, then that plus 4 and so on. So, if your last number is 2, the first number possibilities are
2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38
and your second number possibilities are
8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 4
Thus, 100 possible combinations, if you are good, you should be able to go through them in 5-10 mins, which means within 2 and 1/2 to 5 mins, you'll have had a 50% chance to have solved it. It works, I've been doing it for a while... As a hobby, that is. - Soave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Why are people digging this story? It doesn't work. Step 7 makes absolutely no sense. Even if you have the last number of the combination, you can't easily guess the first two. There are not 10 possibilities for the first and second numbers. There are 40, giving you 40*40=1600 total possibilities, not 100."
Maybe if you read it you'd understand that there really are only 100 possibilites once you have the last (or any) number. - doorman444, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1boltcutters work for me ;)
- blockcipher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Cause its 1337!
- browwiw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1superhuman strength works for me
not really >sob - Turias, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why are people digging this story? It doesn't work. Step 7 makes absolutely no sense.

- Archeopterix, on 02/19/2008, -0/+0Tryed and tru method!
- Krusz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've tried out the shims, they work pretty good, but expect to destroy a couple before you work out the technique get them in without tearing them up.
Knowing how to solve the lock for the combo is nifty as you can put a lock that no one knows the combo for back in use. - 747jp, on 11/20/2008, -0/+0Great Idea! I remember years ago in Jr. High I was able to figure out Master’s combinations, they usually use either odd or even #’s and the pattern was high, low, and high. I was used by the whole school to help trusted fellow students that lost there combination. In high school I was
The locker nerd. Now days Master uses four combinations and mix the patterns. Recently I was able to figure the combinations using feel of the tumblers. - outerspaceapple, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1dudes, this actually works. If you're willing to spend more than 2 seconds looking at http://www.dontforward.com/masterlock.htm it really does make sense.
- einsteindesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Download the XLS spreadsheet.
It works. I still remember my combination from high school. Plugged in my last number, and my combo was one of the 64 possibilities on results page. - -=Ross=-, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks for the link lostcosmos!
- maiop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this worked for a lock i bought 8 years ago, but i recenetly bought one with the combination 11-19-12, and this can't computer odd's and even's together.
- KernelSandirs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Worked! Cool
- XxN3RDC0R3xX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this only works for the older masterlocks. when you pull the bolt and turn the knob, the new ones get stuck on every number.
- Lostcosmos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This person left out the explanation of the modulus mathematical operator, the key to reducing the number of possibilities for the first two numbers:

^-- Neither did that. - candre23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0or you can spend 2 seconds getting the lock open with a shim: http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-SPS-20.html
- Akram, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0stop digging this!!!!!
- SirSid, on 05/27/2009, -3/+0It really makes no sence at all.
- monsterror, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Why did it make frontpage AGAIN?
- BaKeDbEaN, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Why did this make the front page...?
