"... Feynman's technique was simple. And he claimed that it was always successful. But it' not currently working for me. Not yet. What was it? Well, when he was building the first atomic bomb, he observed that scientists were so worried about forgetting the codes to their safes that they invariably used a memorable date as their combination. And if you do the maths on that, the first two numbers, the month in the American dating system, could only be 01 - 12 and having only twelve options instead of 99 made it far more manageable process when the next to numbers were likely to be between one and 31, and the last two were certainly a two-digit number from the previous 50 years. Basically, he cut the odds and could crack the code with brute force if he had to. But he rarely had to because he just found that people wrote the code down on a slip of paper or in a notebook somewhere near the safe in question. In a drawer or what not. Seriously, Tanika asked, that's the problem with magic tricks. If you look at the effect, Richard Feynman breaking into Robert Oppenheimer's safe, where the codes where the atomic bomb were kept, your dumbstruck. But explain your workings and it all becomes very hum-drum."
