Conspiracies Hints

How can I open the "BuSyMaN" briefcase?

  • 1 of 14: Notice the three tiny red zeroes on its handgrip.
  • 2 of 14: The briefcase has a three-digit combination lock, and you're going to have to guess the combination.
  • 3 of 14: If you look around at all the post-it notes and such, you won't find anything useful. (After all, it's Aristos' suitcase, but it's Jenny's apartment.)
  • 4 of 14: Your only hope is if the combo is somehow on the briefcase itself.
  • 5 of 14: All you can really see on it besides the three digits of the lock is the word "BuSyMaN" itself.
  • 6 of 14: Perhaps that's the key to it!
  • 7 of 14: What three things about that word could you translate into numbers?
  • 8 of 14: Well, there are seven letters total, so maybe 7 is one of the combo digits.
  • 9 of 14: Four of the letters are capitalized and three are lowercase.
  • 10 of 14: Also, four of the letters are consonants and three are vowels (the "y" is acting as a vowel, so it counts as one in this case).
  • 11 of 14: So 3 and 4 are undoubtedly the other two digits.
  • 12 of 14: So try various permutations of the digits 3, 4, and 7.
  • 13 of 14: As it turns out, 734 is the one that does it.
  • 14 of 14: Once you've entered that by clicking on the little red digits enough times, the briefcase will automatically pop open.
