Description
You wake up in a mysterious elevator, seemingly with no way out. Trying to press any of the buttons only makes numbers appear on the display and you can't seem to find the code. And would someone turn off that stupid music?! (This is a puzzle and there are some hints in the first comment. Enjoy!)
