Gyro Lattice 4 - Significant Constants (Posted on 2008-08-14) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Please reflect upon "Gyro-Lattice 1 - Arrows" at pid=6061.

The rotations available are:
- [V] vertical [red]
- [H] horizontal [magenta]
- [R] right-down diagonal [green]
- [L] left-down diagonal [salmon]


A mathematical constant of significance has been entered into the top row of the LED display of the lattice and another in the lower row.

They have been scrambled using all four of the rotational operations in the following manner:
1. Starting at A, a rotation was applied after which a different operation was applied from B. A third operation was applied from C and the fourth from D. This same order was followed for the remaining letters.
2. With "O" as your reference the links demonstrate how the cell contents will be manipulated:
H V R L
O

4 1 2 8 2 8 2 9 5
A B C D E F G
1 1 2 7 1 6 3 8 5

When unscrambled (off-screen) you will need to make a rather small finishing touch.

re: Easy as pie | Comment 2 of 4 |
(In reply to Easy as pie by Gamer)

A message to me re difficulty (posted in another place) was viewed after publication.

I had based the difficulty on the 'decimal depth' of the numbers on offer, the need to test the operations, and in consequence being able to recognise the reconstruction of the two from the reverse direction.

I must confess to not having realised that my choice of constants would lead to an intriquing subject title in reply!
