Puzzle 2
This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.
In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.
Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.
Can you determine which square you must start with?
| 4R | 4D | 1R | 1D | 2D | 4L | 1D |
| 1R | 4D | 5D | 2R | 2D | 1L | 4L |
| 2R | 1D | 1L | 2R | 2R | 2D | 2U |
| 2R | 2R | 3U | 3D | 1R | 3U | 6L |
| 3U | 3R | 1D | 2U | 4L | 2D | 3L |
| 3U | 1L | 1R | 1R | 1R | 1R | 2U |
| 6U | E | 2U | 2L | 4L | 1L | 2U |

Puzzle 4
During the recent BrainBashers cipher convention, a binary code contest took place.
The contest consisted of a binary code transmission where the spaces between the letters were missing and there was no punctuation.
Each letter of the alphabet was translated into its binary equivalent based on its position in the alphabet. The resulting code was then blocked in groups of five digits.
a=1, b=10, c=11, d=100, e=101, f=110, g=111, h=1000, i=1001, j=1010, k=1011, l=1100, m=1101, n=1110, o=1111, p=10000, q=10001, r=10010, s=10011, t=10100, u=10101, v=10110, w=10111, x=11000, y=11001, z=11010
