Title: A thief enters a shop
Post by oceanvibe on Dec 8^th, 2015, 3:49am

A thief enters a shop and threatens the clerk, forcing him to open the safe. The clerk says, "The code for the safe is different every day, and if you hurt me you'll never get the code". But the thief manages to guess the code on his own.

How did he do it?

[hide]The code is the date of the current day? That's about the easiest daily changing code you can use.[/hide]

Nah, but you are somehow close to the answer.

1. [hide]The thief didn't hurt the clerk at all, so the clerk allowed him to play with the safe until he got to the right code and they agreed to split the money.[/hide]
2. [hide]The thief just got lucky.[/hide]
3. [hide]The code is the word "different" every day.[/hide]
4. [hide]The thief is the same person who has the task of setting the code every day.[/hide]

There is a french movie with the line (translated).

- I cannot tell you the password, it is totally forbidden.

Guess what the password was?

My French is a bit rusty...
