Tips
Work systematically and scientifically. Look for patterns, write down your observations and try create a model that predicts what is going to happen when the buttons are pushed. Have pen and paper close to hands. It can often be useful to use programs such as Excel to note down observations. Blind-boxes marked with 5 puzzle pieces are extremely difficult. You have been warned...
Below the buttons are to each puzzle a text area with letters which corresponds to the history of the pushes you have made. You can at any time save the current position by copying the whole row of letters (CTRL-C) and paste into a text edit program. To restore a previously saved position, all you have to do is to paste the row into the text area again (CTRL-V).
You can at any time undo a push by removing the last letter (backspace) or even the ten latest pushes by removing the ten last letters, or why not a push somewhere in the middle. You can even instead of pushing the buttons directly, push the correspondent keys or why not work in a whole other medium, such as a text editor, to later copy in text strings. All ways of working are permitted. But remember, the text area only recognize capitals corresponding to the buttons that exists. (A to F in the case of six buttons.) All other characters are ignored.
Finally a last notice. When the puzzle is solved, this will be clearly apparent visually and audibly. By the way, it can be a good idea to always have the speakers on. You never know if there are some clues that only the ear can catch...
Good luck!
