The Rules:
The Puzzle:
Some advice -- I recommend using letters or colors at first. Also, I can assure you, while there should be no need to look up large prime numbers, you might need to know a few basic divisibility tricks. Good luck!
Solution code: The four-digit guess that was closest to the correct password without going over.

Loved it! Extremely smooth solve path, even though it looks difficult at first.

Another fine math-puzzle I enjoyed very much. But then I struggled finding the correct solution code … As an experienced MM-player I thought the best guess was the one which gave the most information about the code. But later I realized that you have to only calculate the differences of numbers and find the smallest one. Stupid me! Thank you very much for sharing this lovely puzzle.

Side note : I created Ice Cubes Sudoku after solving your Squares in the Fog puzzle. Mine is not an interesting Sudoku at all (too simple), but as a numerical curiosity, it is quite interesting. I filled in the grid with digits from cubes of values 1 to 81 in order, and it was amazing how far you could solve the grid using only standard sudoku rules from there. Check it out, puzzle 000IQF. (my other puzzles are much better as puzzles). Love the math - keep them coming.

Fun colouring exercise, then fun to turn colours into numbers, too.
