For kicks and giggles- Pluto's Combo Lock

Since my internet fails at life I find myself with a lot of offline time on my hands~ So i have decided to brush up on my redstone skills. So for today ~ i bring you a cell based, self interlocking, easily programmable, push button driven, 4 states each, repeatable combination lock design. Replicated here 90 times (10 wide by 9 stories) to make a combo lock with 360 different input states in only 90 buttons. Exactly how many combinations that can make is beyond me ~ ask a statistics major.

Basic circuit is a 2 digit binary counter (my own design that i sorta stumbled upon) with a pulser and auto reset built in.

Pics or it didn't happen~

And for skeptics or redstone enthusiasts~ heres the save file.

The current combination in the save is a normalized number Pi. Where 0=0, 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=0, 5=1, 6=2, ext...
In other words
3101112213
1013132300
2220330323
1102000113

Enjoy~

awesome however micko888 is 'apprently' so much better if only it existed.

But awesome work, you have earnt some more respect in minecraft from OSF and you don't look like you make it kiddie style

That would be a 4 position switch, 90 times. Your possible combinations would be equivalent to 4 to the 9th power.

4 ^ 9 = 262,144 possible combinations.

Very nice looking. ;D

I can easily see why you're an Architect on Uncovery and I have yet to achieve it! :D

P.S.
- And yet, I can't get squid to spawn in my underground pool. :D

Lol. Awesome. Now incorporate it into your tower!

Also, I think it should be mentioned you lose some points for making sure a gigantically awesome and intricate locking system, and then managing to misspell "treasure"? :P

@OSF ohh hands down :3 this doesn't hold a torch to that 128 combo lock XD

@Lvasold hmm squid spawn is fickle i think they have set spawn points since i keep finding them in the same place in the same lakes whenever i go hunting.

@Maerdis LOL i also fail at counting XD its only 10x8 i just realized lol so 4^8 combinations. (having dyslexia is a bish) It could easily be expandable to 90 tho or even 1000. And as for incorporating it~ i think its larger than my tower XD maybe my next lot :P

thanks or the comments ^^

-Poops in pants-
I love redstone, but this is a bit too much of the good stuff.. :P

EDIT: Only epic thing left for you to make is a 16/32/64/128bit ALU.. XD

EDIT2: How 'bout I just steal a torch from the circuit and place it right before the door >:D

Wow man, really epic. Good job!

Err, sorry about my previous post... Umm... I must have been half asleep or dealing with some kid issue.

It's 4 to 90th. 4^90=1.53e+54

1,532,495,540,865,888,858,358,347,027,150,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 combinations.
^ That's over one and a half septendecillion. ;-)

Lol :D

Pluto, looks surreal to me. I'll have to download it, and try my luck at one.

@lva, Half-asleep or dealing with your kids, 4^90th.... Jeez, my brain just pops looking at possible combinations.

haha thanks for the updated math lva :3

i updated the save file, now its actually a 90 input combo lock and added a code reset button to zero all the cells. Maybe some time ill add the super challenging to force open safe XD

just multiply 4 90 times. which will take alot of paper or a huge calculator. which ever is your preference.
