even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it. 

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

woah.

it got better

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

And that’s why we have a John Watson.

This is “top 10 favorite posts” level.

Omg, it’s actually on my dash! This post is like a fossil!

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

Ahh it’s back.

Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.

this post is on my dash I feel HONORED

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.

I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!

*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!

:O

THIS IS A LEGENDARY POST I HAVE BEEN GRACED BY IT’S APPEARANCE!!!

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

yesssss

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

I blazed a small fandom event announcement.  Because I was genuinely excited to be part of a Big Bang for a wonderful movie.  One of the first responses I got was “Why would you blaze this?” Because of genuine excitement. Because I wanted to celebrate the friends I’d met in the fandom To spread joy to people who might also like the content but hadn’t seen it yet.   The fact that that was genuinely not realized made me sad.  I love thing, I celebrate thing.   I’m too old for cringe.  Cringe is dead.  Love what you love.  Enjoy the small things in life, it’s too short to do otherwise.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Everything about this is great and the haiku bot topped it off

I'm still actively shopping but I had to submit this immediately.

Wethersfield, CT Savers.

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target

What... What movie is this.

@bestnoncannonship

Watch it with me pleeeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeee

The thing came out of hiding

Thing has been exploring. It is very brave even though my apartment is very new and scary. everyone clap for it

Hello everyone. I need you all to see the absolutely fucking bananas shirt my mom gave me for my birthday

We’ll find you Amanda.

this has almost 11 million notes what is this

I’ve never seen this post once in 10 years on this site

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????

oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left

For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.

This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.

This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post

I wrote a song about Jeremy Brett.

Someone introduced me recently to Poi Dog Pondering’s song “I’m In Love with Jeremy Brett.” It inspired me to write my own song about Jeremy Brett, only there’s no tune and I can’t sing. Here it is. It’s different.

Walking in the Snow with Jeremy Brett

by the Plaid Adder

I’ve been thinking about you, Jeremy Brett. If I went back in time, If I walked on the set, Said, Can I tell you something That you ought to know? Would you come walk with me in the snow?

I look fifty right now, but I’m all of sixteen The TV’s in the basement, And you’re onthe screen, My little sister and I In the flickering glow… Will you come walk with me in the snow?

I’m an American girl With mysterious fears— I am not into boys, I’m confused by my peers, Somewhere there’s a solution Which you seem to show– Will you come walk with me in the snow?

You felt crushed by expectation And the Holmeses of before Feared his lofty isolation Feared it all might be a bore Worried you would be too modern Worried you’d be too old hat Worried you were slowing down And breaking up And getting fat I’ve a message from across the sea From every baby dyke like me Who’s Watsoning you day and night So get some paper out and write: You are more than that You are more than that You are so much more than that

Now I trudge around town In the slush and the frost You’re out there with the ones Who have loved and then lost Cause that one fucking cell Just forgot how to grow Would you come walk with me in the snow?

Well no one’s really healthy And no one’s truly whole And everybody sometimes Feels like giving up the role But we’ve got you to show us How to go on with your part With receptors out of order And pressure on the heart

I’ll be just starting out When it’s your time to go. You know so many things Someday I’ll need to know. It is not meretricious The way that you show. Would you come walk with me in the snow? Would you come walk with me in the snow?

Reblogging for Jeremy January!

Trump would be such a good drag queen like just such an unbelievably incredible and talented drag queen it's such a bummer that he's decided to be a fascist and a threat to democracy because that cunt would devour at the House of Yes

such a loss

his cadence, his tiny bitchy hand gestures, his cunty little nicknames for people that are insane but also somehow stick to your brain? 

“the problem with ron desanctimonious is that he needs a personality transplant, and those are...... noT yet available.”

if he’d laid the garbage fire of his entire soul aside for a wig and heels back in the 80s, we’d live in a better world.

Story time

A friend of a friend has the superpower of making people realize their trans. Pretty much anyone he's come in contact with has later realized they're trans.

This power is so pronounced that he got into a car accident and a few weeks later the person in the other car came out as trans.

Power of trans your gender

Not a major car accident, just a little gender bender

What if, no hear me out and consider, there really are people who send out queer vibes. Not as in being queer and sending those out, but like, sending out the queer vibes that awaken the queer vibes in others?

All my friends turned out to be queer in some way, but I do guess that guy above has more specific triggering vibes.

Like... We're echoloting

Every single girl my last male ex has ever dated is a lesbian now. Every. Single. One. Poor guy.

I made jam.

so many queer ppl will be like "deviating from social norms is part of who we are" and then gleefully participate in fatphobia/diet culture and nearly make being skinny an entire ideology and identity

This is such a Merlin sweater I can’t explain it

!warning! this is something that Cults do that i also see some of you doing so watch out!

1. using new language to convey meaning and identify oneself

I know a minority who uses language to convey meaning so I think you're just biased against their ancient traditional way of life

Using language to convey meaning is actually really problematic because meaning can be negative, hostile, or even abusive. Not only that, but language can be used to convey sexual ideas to minors, which means that speaking with the intent of being understood is actually always grooming.

Normalize going into people’s ask boxes and ask them random ass questions.

Tumblr used to be so much fun with all the asks (anonymous or otherwise), and we need to bring those back, especially now that we finally have a half-decent blocking feature in place.

Ask people things! Message them! Don’t let tumblr inbox die! It’s one of the features that made tumblr tumblr.

I need to redraw from references more
