And maybe you know how much combinations a 6 switch combo has?

everyone else is right, not as many combos as you think.

Ok, I missed the leap of faith part.  Could you post a castledraft of what the combo lock area looked like(not the solution, of course)? There might be something to tip off the robber to when he could get past.

Are you talking about combining your two combo locks?  Taken separately, the 6 digit combo lock has 64 possible states, while the 3 digit has 8 possible states.

If that's not what you're talking about, could you explain why you're trying to combinate 6 and 3?

Eight possible combos. With one saw you can try five of them in one run I think, so the chance is over half. With no tools you can only try 4 combos, so the chance is exactly half.

If 100 people threw themselves at your house with no tools, about 10 people would get through the initial 6 bit combo. Then, 5 would go on to rob your vault. If you consider tools, then the chances increase dramatically. It is not surprising that you have been robbed.

Re: This game is unplayable because of cheater!

Yes, thats what I mean.

Solving a 6 digit with 64 tries and after a 3 digit with 8 tries means not only 72 tries (64 plus 8)

Or am I wrong?

You've calculated the chance wrong, and not taken into account that you can try multiple combinations on each run.

Ah, I didn't realise the "second leap of face" was connected to the combo lock. I'd like to see a map of your house though if possible so I can see how you've done it. Perhaps also a recording of the tape.

If you've implemented the leaps correctly, then with 100 people trying about ~2 would get through the first trap. Then, there's about a 1/4 chance that one of those gets to your vault. Not too unlikely still.

Ok- first of all, I'm assuming there wasn't a leap of faith, but a "door" (trapdoor, powered door, or electric floor)
EDIT: ok, just noticed that the second combo also had a leap of faith.  Again, it would be useful to see your house, just in case there were tells to when it's safe to go.
That means that there are 3 possible 2 button combinations, and 3 possible 1 button combinations.

The robber presses a button, checks the "door" - still unpassable. He presses a different button- he just tried one of the three 2 button combinations.  Nothing happens., he cuts the wall by the first button he pressed.  Only 1 button is powered, so he just tested 2 of the 1 button combinations.  He presses the last button- he just tried the 2nd 2 button combination.

All in all, he tried 4/6 of the "reasonable" solutions (since no buttons and all buttons aren't going to be a solution).  2/3 chance of getting by.

If the solution was to press just 1 button, that obviously wouldn't work.

Ok- in your first post, you said 720 possibilities, which is a bit different than 72.

You can go to castledraft.com, and just paint in the part of the house that you want to show us.  If you want to show us the whole map easily (you can edit parts out), there's instruction on castledraft under Import to let you know how to do it.

Sorry, I should have gone back to the OP and made sure you didn't say anything about a leap of faith for the second lock instead of assuming that it didn't have one.  STill, it would be nice to see your house to see if there's anything to give away when the combo lock is on.

Re: This game is unplayable because of cheater!

Well, here it is:

http://castledraft.com/editor/ybMSKJ

Just a principle sketch.
But the protection is a bit the same.

I made the dog and the powered door just for keeping away answers like: he can go back and test the powered trap.

THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE in both code tests.

The broken electrikal wood wall is like he made his mistake back.

Re: This game is unplayable because of cheater!

Ok, it looks like there's no chance that he could've known whether the solution was correct or not before taking the leap of faith.  That means that either he was cheating, or he just got lucky.

What are the odds that he got lucky?  In this case, when you have a hundred people try the first lock, the odds of it don't really matter- by chance, *somebody* will get by eventually.

So, what are the odds of him getting past the second lock?  Well, there are 8 possibilities.  2 of them obviously aren't the correct ones - all pressed and none pressed.  That means there are 6 reasonable solutions.  However, if the robber is smart, it doesn't come down to just chance.  Most likely, a 3 bit combo lock will have a solution where 2 buttons are pressed- it seems more secure than a 1 button solution, even though they are the same level of security.  That means that, if the robber thought of that, there actually was just a 2/3 chance of dying to the second leap of faith.  That is not hard to believe someone guessed correctly, at all.

So why did he saw the one wall?  Well, think of it from his view- he just got past a 8 bit combo lock against all odds, now he's facing something where he most likely won't get past.  He doesn't want to give the owner his tools, so he wastes his only saw, sawing the one past the button to see if it's only 2 walls thick.  Then, he jumps to his death... and the dog saves him!

Like all cases of possible cheating, this doesn't mean that he didn't cheat.  However, it's completely reasonable that he got lucky, and there's other signs that he's not cheating (sawing the wall, bumbling around in Pohaku's house).

Re: This game is unplayable because of cheater!

Thanks iceman for your explaining,

meanwhile I think the possibility for a 6 digit and a 3 digit is 2^9 = 512 tries.

I understand your thinking. Its like a magier manipulates the crouds. Or a profiler does its work.

But in my case I dont agree with that.

If I could watch a twitch stream like on your house it will be clear.
But the guy solved your castle like I think the only way is.

My guy was soooo lucky with no brute force, nothing.

I change the code and keep watching if he comes back.

Befor I have to buy some pictures.

I saw my old pictures at the aution smile
Get the robber the pictures or does they goes back to the auction?

2,3,5 is always my third guess when trying to guess a lock, after 1,3,5 and 2,4,6 but before 1,4,5.
