## Solution | ||
Converting the colors on the wall to hex, and then converting that to plain text, which gave us the flag. | ||
|
||
## Explanation | ||
At the top there were 16 different colors, that stayed still for the whole duration. | ||
The colors below came together 2 and 2, and were going for about a minute. | ||

Seeing that there were 16 colors at the top, and how the colors came in pairs, we began to think that they had to be hexadecimal numbers. | ||
We figured that the ones standing still at the top would have to indicate what number or letter they would have to be. Starting from the left, noting them down as 0-9 and A-F. | ||

||
By noting down the rotating colors, and connecting them to the colors at the top, we got alot of hexadecimal numbers. | ||
Putting them into a hexadecimal to plain text converter, we got something along the lines of; | ||
"This is the flag: EPT{c0l0r_m3_h4ppy}" |

## Solution | ||
Moving the pieces of the puzzle to open the box, which reveals a QR-code that gives us the flag. | ||
|
||
## Explanation | ||
When I entered the room, there were alot of these wooden boxes around on tables, with chairs next to each of them. | ||
|
||
![719Si5w19iL](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2228cf95-193f-471f-8d45-6436451e0aed) | ||
|
||
First I started moving the pieces around randomly, not really having a goal in mind. After a while, I started thinking about how I didn't really know what I was looking for, and stopped for a moment to just look at the box. | ||
|
||
Eventually I remembered there was a hint with the task; | ||
"Hint: Try to figure out what squares move the lock hooks, and how the locking mechanism works, this will make the challenge easier." | ||
|
||
After thinking about this, and trying to open the box a little, seeing some movement to the pieces in the bottom left corner, I figured I had to get the empty square down there. | ||
|
||
Moving the pieces around, trying to get the open space to this area, I eventually got there. I kept trying to open the box, keeping the påen space in different places in that area. I then realised there was a hole at the far bottom of the left side, which made me try to keep it open there. | ||
I was now able to open the box. | ||
|
||
In the box there was a QR-code that sent me to a site with the flag. Since I can't remember it, and the QR-code website is now down, I cannot retrieve the flag again. | ||
