    You are in a game show with four other contestants. The objective is to crack the combination of the safe using the clues, and the first person to do so will win $500,000.

    The safe combination looks like this:

    ??-??-??-??

    A digit can be used more than once in the code, and there are no leading zeroes.

    Here are the clues:

    1. The third set of two numbers is the same as the first set reversed.

    2. There are no 2's, 3's, 4's or 5's in any of the combination.

    3. If you multiply 4 by the third set of numbers, you will get the fourth set of numbers.

    4. If you add the first number in the first set with the first number in the second set you will get 8.

    5. The second set of numbers is not greater than 20.

    6. The second number in the second set multiplied by the second number in the fourth set equals one higher than the numbers in the first set.

    And get moving, I think another contestant has almost figured it out!
