By order of the Grand Master, the administrative sections of the Shadow Academy platform are to be undocked and sent down to the surface behind the planetary shield. Unfortunately, the access codes required to perform this operation are nowhere to be found, and were most likely misplaced during the administrative transfer between Headmasters.

You are now called upon to guess the access code, but when you arrive at the console, you notice that someone (one of those pesky Apprentices) has already tried to guess the code several times, without much luck, leaving you with only a single attempt left before the system permanently locks itself.

Rules and details

• Upon subscription, you are presented with a codebreaker puzzle. A number of hints have been provided in the form of guesses, along with the number of symbols in that hint that are in the correct position (in green) and the number of symbols in the hint that do appear in the answer, but are not in the correct position (in red).
  • Note that symbols are only counted as correct (either in the correct or an incorrect position) as many times as it appears in the answer.
• A (simplified) example puzzle can be found here, and its solution here.
• To submit, provide the correct symbol combination as a single line in the 'Submission Text' field, using the regular letters A through H. A translation table between Aurebesh and regular letters can be found on Wookieepedia and elsewhere on the internet.
• The solution for the example above would be "BBDD".
• Submissions will only be accepted through the 'Submission Text' field. Submissions through files of any kind (including doc and pdf), and external links will not be accepted.
• Please note that a personal puzzle is provided to each participant.
• Placement is based on the fastest correct solution (fastest being shortest time between subscription and submission). Ties are broken by fastest submission time counting from the competition's start time.
