Title: Puzzles
Post by: bacillus on March 19, 2008, 12:46:43 AM

A friend of mine made a series of puzzles on a calculator, each one giving a 4-digit number as a solution. I decided to post these here. When a person finds out the solution to the current puzzle, I will give the next puzzle, which will give you the solution to the third puzzle etc. Use the mapping of the buttons to help you:

-------------
|7M|8N|9O|
-------------
|4P|5Q|6R|
-------------
|1U|2V|3W|
-------------
|0Z|

Here's the first clue:

NORTH NORTH EAST WEST

Good Luck!

42 seems to be the default response these days... I wonder why...  

I think 2618 is right though.
