Don't understand the correct answer

[Guenaoueg]

Hi !
I'm kinda confused.

My critera were :
A- Purple is odd / even
B- Number of 3 in the code
C- The total is a multiple of 3/4/5
D- A criteria that compares blue with the others

I tested 435 and C was "true". As the total is (4+3+5)=12, the real code must be a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 4.
To check, I tested 432, and C was "false". As the total is (4+3+2)=9, the real code can't be a multiple of 3. So it must be a multiple of 4.

I play the rest of the game, but my code is ultimately false and the real answer is : CODE = 534.
As 5+3+4=12, CRITERIA C WAS : THE CODE IS A MULTIPLE OF 3 (and 4)
So why did I get a "false" with 432, which is also a multiple of 3 ?

Thanks a lot !

Each card is only checking for 1 rule.
You correctly figured out that C was checking to see if the sum was a multiple of 4.
And the correct answer (534) was a multiple of 4.
432 came back false because it is NOT a multiple of 4.

I can't quite follow why you think there's something wrong with this.

You seem to maybe think it was ALSO testing for the sum to be a multiple of 3, but that doesn't make sense because you already ruled that out with the false result while testing 432, so I'm not sure why you think it might be testing for 3x.

If it's still confusing, I might need you to explain a little more carefully what you think is incorrect here.

It seems confusing at the beginning but the validator is not verifying if your code has the same caracteristics. It's only verifying ONE criteria. You have to gess which one is it in order to find the code.
In your case, your validator C says that is a "x4" so it doesn't say anything about "x3", it can be true or not, it just does't care about it.

Thanks a lot, I get it now !
