OCM or jet or anyone able to master the code? come on! give it a go!
theres plenty of ways to end this!

edit: OCM: 1black 2 white. you're getting there!!

If you focus ONLY on the black rows, you will find the code. start on row 1.
there 1 black and 1 white. so we pick black 1st. start with the left so purple.
on row 3, you know that purple is NOT the black in the 1st line. it could still be the white. next we take blue. in the 2nd row, you know it's not it. could still be the white. next we take the green: in all the row green is in the 3rd slot, theres a black. so it's a maybe. and finally: yellow. in row 3, we learn that it cannot be yellow so it's GREEN. so the 3rd pin is green. now keep going with this logic and you will succeed!

next we take row 6. green green yellow green.
we know yellow is out because we already confirmed green on pin 3.
so we can already know that the white is for green on 3. that means, yellow is not part of the code. and the black for row 6 is another green. now lets find out where he goes. not in the 1st hole because of row 7. that leaves 2 spots. and now we can see that it's not in the 2nd hole because of row 5. so it has to be in the 4th hole. so the code is # # green green. keep going with this!

row 10 is easy. we know the green is the white so now we go to black. yellow is out and so is the green so we're left with purple purple. 3rd is green right? so the 2nd HAS to be purple.

now our code is # purple green green.

we can now go by elimination to find the 1st hole. it can't be a green, yellow purple. so what's left? blue is out because on row 11, we know the white HAS to be green. red is out because of row 4: the white is still green.
colours that we started with: green, yellow, blue, purple, red, orange.
colours left, orange. and row 2 confirms it.

the code is orange purple green green.

anyone want to start a code now? I want to try.
