By the use of your Grand Mastery of Nexus, you are able to cause two of the door’s three tumblers to rotate to their opening positions. The third dial, however, is much harder to manipulate this way. Drawing upon your Sixth Sense, you concentrate hard and try to visualize the numerical position on the third dial that will release the lock. Slowly the dial takes form in your mind’s eye, but the numbers engraved around its perimeter remain hazy and indistinct.
At length you determine that the correct position of the third dial is the same as the answer to this following puzzle:
The number of New Order Kai who hold the rank of Grand Master (including yourself) multiplied by the number of Grand Master Disciplines that are achieved upon reaching the rank of Kai Grand Guardian.
Once you think you have calculated the correct answer, turn to the section of this book which is the same as that answer.12
If you calculate incorrectly, or if you cannot answer the puzzle, turn instead to 248.
