Hey Shadowsong, I'm working on a new project—an intricate, hidden mechanism that triggers only when a specific sequence of steps is followed. Have you ever designed something like that, or maybe you have a favorite method to keep secrets hidden?

That’s a clever approach. I’d start with a simple, everyday routine—say, turning the doorknob three times, then flipping a light switch once. Each action could represent a bit of a binary code. In the mechanism, use a small gear that only turns when that exact sequence is performed. The gear’s position could then release a latch that unlocks the hidden compartment. The key is to keep the routine so ordinary it never looks suspicious. What kind of secret do you plan to hide?
