Brain Teaser: Can You Find The Right Code To Open This Lock?-Solution   

If you are still trying to get the answer to this, we have the answer to this puzzle. This brain teaser is a great way to test your observation skills and how sharp you are. If you still haven't gotten the answer, the picture given below will make you understand this solution better.

• The first clue reads, “682: One digit is right and in its place.” We can’t do anything with this clue yet.

• The second clue reads, “614: One digit is right but in the wrong place.” This is already getting interesting because now we can rule one number out.

• The 6 is in the same place in both clues, and it couldn’t be “in its place” in one clue and “in the wrong place” in another.

• The third clue reads, “206: Two digits are right, but both are in the wrong place.” We’ve already ruled out 6, so our final number must have a 2 and a 0, but in different places!

• The fourth clue reads, “738: All digits are wrong.” Oh. That means we can remove the 7, 3, and 8 values across the board.

• Finally, the last clue reads, “380: One digit is right but in the wrong place.” Well, we’ve already eliminated the 3 and the 8. The 0 is correct, but the third place is the wrong place. In the third clue, we learned that the second place is also the wrong place for 0. Our solution must begin with 0!

• Now we have everything we need to find the whole answer. From the first clue, we now see that 2 is the correct digit that’s also in the right place. Our answer begins with 0 and ends with 2.

• Our middle digit could be 1 or 4. But really, there’s only a single answer it can be. In our final answer, the only open spot is the middle spot. In clue 2, we learned that one digit was correct, but in the wrong place, so we can’t copy the 1 from the middle spot in clue 2 into the middle spot in our final answer. It has to be 4.

• That means the final lock combination is 042—that’s right.
