I look at it again. It is indeed some kind of safe.
What could be valuable in it?
More importantly, what could the code be?
Is it the classic date of birth or is it her wedding day?
And if so, can I just type it in?
I have to admit that I have never bothered with this sort of thing before.
We don't have the internet for nothing these days.
According to this site, I should be able to try forever.
That makes it a bit easier for me. However, the sheer number of possible combinations is frightening.
That is, the number of numbers, whether they're two, three or five doesn't matter.
I'm going to end up as a grandmother myself!
Let's try my grandfather's date of birth first, and then hers.
I type in the numbers.
Error on both birth dates.
Error on the third.
OK, then the date my grandparents were married.
Error on the fourth.
This is getting very frustrating.
It must be something simple, but at the same time known to only a few people.
I stroke my chin thoughtfully.
Wasn't there always a combination of numbers my grandmother used to sing to me?
Remember me when you see the numbers 832?
No, it wasn't 832. It was something else.
Do you think of me when you see the numbers 823?
823 sounds much more familiar, so let's type it in.
Bingo!
The safe opens.
Ironically, to the same tune as the song.
Oh, Granny, you always wanted me to find it.
Somehow that makes me sad.
To think that I would never have found it either.
Wait a minute!
This can't be true!
