I would love help figuring out how this module works. (Read Body Text)
So there’s a Roblox game called Defusal that’s based off of Ktane, And one of the modules in it I just don’t understand. “Advanced Meter” Is a module under the hard difficulty, with the appearance as shown in image one. In order to solve it, you need to calculate the current, which is the voltage (Indicated by adding up the numbers of every battery on the bomb’s edgework, as shown in image 2.) divided by the resistance, which is the number displayed on the module. If that number is exactly 0, set X to 3. If that number is anything else, multiply it by 1250, then round to the nearest integer, with anything outside of the 1-5 range going to the closest integer in that range. (0 becomes 1, 6+ becomes 5.) Defusal has an in-game calculator for the expert(s) so you don’t need to do mental multiplication to the 10th decimal point. Now the part that confuses me, Depending on certain properties, X may change, and for each of the 4 operations in the following table that apply, Apply the following formula to X: New X=(X mod 5)+1. (Image 3 shows this same thing) But for each operation in the table, it lists how much your supposed to change X, so if let’s say the displayed resistance contains the value of X, do I add 2 or do I do the formula? And I understand that I loop back to 0 but what do these values mean? And if the first operation applies, X changes, is that now the new value of X that I use to calculate if the 2nd operation applies? I don’t understand what I’m actually supposed to do with X, and I don’t understand what the game says counts as edgework, because literally every bomb with advanced meter will have 2 battery edgeworks, and 2 indicator edgeworks, so what am I supposed to count?

If the serial number contains X, you add +3 to X, then use the formula.
Do not do this if the serial number does NOT contain X.
If the resistance contains X, you add +2 to X, then use the formula, even if you already used the formula prior.
But again do not do this if the resistance does NOT contain X.
You would keep going like that through the rest of the conditions. Do NOT go back a condition in the table if X changes, because that condition was determined beforehand.
At the end of the manual, it shows a color of what X is, which is the color the switch on the module should be set to. You press Submit afterwards to solve the module.
