Desecrating the sanctity of locker rooms and hilariously-oversized luggage trunks the world over, Hack's a terrifyingly simple step-by-step guide to cracking the code for any combination-based padlock, bringing you within trembling twists of that sweet, sweet bounty of French III textbooks. Verified by a crack team of scientists interns, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Starting at 0, gently pull down as though opening the lock, then slowly spin the dial counter-clockwise until it sticks. If the number is a whole number (i.e. not resting in between two numbers) record it, continuing the process until you reach 0 again. At this point you should have 5 whole numbers.
Step 2: Four of the five numbers will end in the same digit -- the one that doesn't is the last number in your lock's three-number combo. Since certain numbers on a padlock are inextricably linked, this number narrows down the possible combinations to 100 -- aka one season on Melrose Place.
Step 3: Trial-and-error out the combination grid linked below, and pull the lock open.
Step 4: Swim through bounty Scrooge McDuck-style.
Of course even this does nothing for a padlock with a key, so when Madame Dade sees you trying to karate chop your way into bilingualism, you'll have to make your own Getaway.
