a small brain tickler...
 

i have a lock. the lock has three dials with the numbers 0 thru 9 on them. obviously, the combination to open the lock consists of three numbers. am i right in assuming by cycling through all of the numbers on the dials, as in 0-0-1, 0-0-2, 0-0-3...9-9-9 that i will hit all possible combinations? i think it's true, that after going through all of the numbers that i will have hit every possible combination to open the lock. yet, the lock has not opened yet. if it is true, then there must be some kind of lock-out that will keep you from doing that and finding the right combination.

thoughts?

hacksaw... or plasma cutter

so you sat and tried all 1,009 combinations?

I believe continually pulling the lock while trying to figure out the combo pulls it away from the teeth enough for you to not find out what the combo is. you'll have to pull it everytime to find out. Ive tried that as well.

By Combinations, you mean Permutations?

oh??

combinations are for pussies, bolt cutters are the way to go

Yeah dude you really put in 1000 combination? Cause that how many there are.

not all at one time. over the course of about two or three weeks. i'd sit and do a hunnert or two and then put it down. so i should force it tighter closed before trying to open it, is that it?

You should find a different hobby. :lol:

I really dont think simple locks have safeties on them. I do know that alot of them wont pop open if your just constantly pulling on them when you hit the combo though. So you might be onto something.

here i go again.

start at 000 and go from there

kinda reminds me of "Real Genius" with the guy trying all the numebr in order to hack into the government computer.

Good luck Jim, I would lose interest and smash/shoot/plasma cut real quick

hang it on something and hit it with a shoe/boot, used to do it all the time in the gym lockers in middle school haha
