    Thank you Jamie.  I know!  I was watching White Collar.  A silly TV show with a really good-looking guy as the star. (Just to give reason as to why I am watching a TV show in the middle of the day and that Don is sick.)
    Anyway, they are cracking a safe.  One guy has his ear to the safe and listening to for the clicks in the combination.  The other guy is turning the combination lock on the safe itself. I'm assumming those are the clicks when the lock releases one of its holds into place. 
    The guy listening to the safe says, "drop."  This makes sense. The other guy turning the combination lock calls out a number.  It seems randomly.
    I don't know if the number he calls out is the time it takes to hit the "drop" or is the number on the combination lock he is turning when the lock "dropped"
    into place.
    Does this make any more sense or is this making it more confusing?
    I'm baffled and now you probably are, too!  Ugh!!
    Thanks for stopping by and answering and liking the question.  You're Awesome!!
    :) :)

  • Lol! It makes a little more sense, but I was reading # as “hashtag” not “number“ so let me try and read it again :)

  • Nope, I’m still confused lol :) I think it means the number of clicks. I wouldn’t make a good jewel thief.

    I'm too busy cracking up to crack a safe myself!
    You're right.  We might be partners in crime in some things but jewel thieves, we are not!!
    Thanks Jamie and it's great to see you, as always! :) :)

    I didn't even think of that.  Now it is really a confusing question.  Something like Clouseau would write and I didn't even mean too!  Big Giggles!  That was a fluke!  I'm sorry.  Again, it didn't even cross my mind it would be read as that.  I was having trouble wording the question with limited characters.

  • Sometimes the confusing questions inspire the best answers though :)  It caught my attention. I’m sure element will be along shortly with a real answer lol. 

    Tell Don I said hi and I hope he feels better soon :)
