It becomes obvious only after making the less than obvious assumption that locks can work in OR fashion rather than the usual AND fashion. How does one put 462 locks on a cabinet such that opening any one lock opens the cabinet?
- simongr3dal 4y agoYou could put several doors the cabinet. If using a chain, connecting locks in parallel between the links would be AND, and locks in series between the links would be OR.
- tromp 4y agoI've seen cabinets with multiple doors, and can even imagine them reaching the same space. But I've yet to see a cabinet lockable with a chain:-(
- Arrath 4y agoWhy, it simply requires the cabinet to be accessible all-around so you can fully wrap the chain, and a handle or the like to thread the chain through!
