ngl I don't entirely get the title (probably used a slightly different breakin?) but this was really nice and interesting
Response from Eric: The title refers to the comparison needed for the break-in. Is that what you used or did you find another break-in?
Dennis: Ohhh I just never connected those dots (thought it was the digits), yea that's what I did.

Ha! The title! Otherwise, what a fun (and hard...) puzzle. I had to draw on a pretty wide litany of solve techniques to crack this one open, but it was quite fun to solve. Thank you!
