hint, some of them are swapped more than once.
hint, some of them are not changed.
hint, I swapped 6 times.

Not a bit that I'd want to calculate, or enough to make this a feasible task, but a bit still. | ||

One that I had assumed from the start, but still. That leaves what? 480 possibilities? edit: less once you remove anything that has everything switched, but thats probably more than a 5 second calculation so I won't do it lol. Oops, 720 now. There are 3 that qualify, not 2 :/ | ||

Charlie, should you solve this, I will accept your beta key with dignity. | ||

Its fun, like playing mastermind without being given any pegs to indicate whether or not something is in the right spot. | ||

Are you defining swaps as only horizontal + vertical or is diagonal allowed? IE To switch block 1 code 1 with block 3 code 2, would you need to go through block 1 code 3 or could you just swap them directly? | ||

I just realized there are 3 possible starters, which makes it soo many more possibilities. Gave up again. | ||

X4WDWZ YPR7MX VV9EPE But I missed the Y one when I first looked, which meant that I thought there were 2 and because there were only 2 codes each one had to be a starter. With 3 like this one 2 of them are starters and the other is normal, so you have to go through all the possibilities. :/ | ||

It didn't work... It's giving me a "An error has occurred while claiming this key" message :[ I think somebody took it. so I'm back to scavenging now >:l | ||

It's already 5 AM, so tomorrow if I have time I will modify it to apply the hints. Right now, none of the hints are taken into account. Here it is, written in matlab, for anyone who cares: + Show Spoiler +
You are welcome to use this to help you find the keys, on condition that you share one with me! EDIT: TL formatting got rid of tabs and added smileys! Considering how many more hints there are now than when I first started, this program seems kind of superfluous... REDIT: Thanks CM for showing me how to format this properly! | ||
