Garland Candlesticks

Hey there, I'm Garland Candlesticks! I could really use your help with something.
You see, I have this important pamphlet in my luggage, but I just can't remember the combination to open it!

Solution

Upon reviewing the instructional material provided by Chris's video, our initial approach started with rotating numbers on first position. After putting pressure on open button we are looking for resistance in rotation. Whenever we find resistance on given number we continute adding pressure and hoping onto next position to find opening combination. We should also listen carefully to sounds which might help us finding right combination.

Once we inspected web application we were able to spot WebSocket communication as well.

After finding special combination we received WS message from server as below:
