It's fun being an engineer and a parent. You find yourself just naturally exploring these things. I came to the same conclusions about the toys with the binary switches, and also tried to do the unused combos. But my favorite were the toys that require the kids to twist or push buttons in a sequence. It had no batteries so it was all mechanical, and it was fun trying to reverse engineer the mechanics so that it only opened the door when the right combo was used, but also didn't seize up when the wrong combo was used, and you didn't have to "reset" it to start over.
