Me and my brother here got to 2 dots and wrote which combination triggered this, we tried swapping everything in random just to be sure but the 2 dots wouldn't change. Is there something we are missing?
Update 1: At this point we've taken up pen and paper and are drawing out diagrams like it's some sort of Sudoku puzzle. We've drawn diagrams of what goes where in order to create the dots but by the time we're on a roll the codes reset. Is it time to give up? I wasn't much for co-operative puzzles, anyway.
