Your bottom row isn't Z-X-C-V-B-N-M ?

beside Shift yes it is...what else is supposed to be there?? :/

So... X is the second letter on the third row.... so X is 32 not 31....

ooh i was counting the key like this(see below) ..which follows the code tell you get to the third row then is off by one

1234567890
qwertyuiop
asdfghjkl
zxcvbnm

Ah. C=33, so X is one less=32

Good job, guys, sorry, not into the math stuff so much but I'll try!

The third door capitulated with nary a contest. Captain Wraith smiled as he watched his underlings march through it. Father must be proud...

The room they entered now was very round, perhaps even perfectly round, with cornflower blue walls (or perhaps it was better to say ‘wall’). There were no paintings or displays, the wall was a pristine barren blue. The ceiling was a metallic looking dome, and In the center of the room was a round table a shade lighter than the walls on which levitated a large metallic sphere whose surface took on a bluish hue as it reflected the color of the room.

Around it were several large, translucent, wedge shaped buttons, which were vertically labeled: (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (1.0,0), (0,1,0) and (1,1,1)

Cautiously, Orin approached the table. When he was within touching distance of it, it seemed to sense it presence and the (1,0,0) button lit up for a moment, then turned back off. Orin glanced back at Captain Wraith, who nodded, and then pressed gingerly down on the button.

A moment later, the (1,0,0) button lit up again (and turned off), and a moment later, the (0,1,0) button lit (and turned off). Orin mimicked the pattern. Then it was (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,1,0). Orin continued to repeat the shown series. After the sixth installment of the series, it became somewhat difficult for Orin to remember, but with the forthcoming aid of the other agents, he managed to get each within a few tries. The sixteenth installment was:

(1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,1,0), (0,1,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,0), (0,0,0), (1,1,1), (1,1,1), (0,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,0), (1,0,0), (0,0,1), (1,1,1), (0,0,0)

But after he had repeated it correctly (yes, he and all the rest of agents were certain that it had been correct), instead of continuing on to the next installment, the buttons remained dark.

“I’m guessing we have to figure out the rest of the series for ourselves,” Wraith spoke up after a few moments. “I have an idea, but...it seems dependent on style...”

Father’s voice came. “Yes, but I believe the Witch gives beauty the benefit of a doubt.”

I'm seeing something to do with a 3-D plane, with an X,Y, and Z axis. Perhaps it created a hint to the next part?

[psykomakia]

That would explain the "vertically labeled" bit I was confused about.

i thought that too, but why would you have four of the same coordinates in a row?

i did see there are 18 buttons pushed
and the sequence has 18 1
and 36 0
don't know if this helps

And yet the plot says there were 16 installments. Typo, Y-san?
