MythBusters Meridian Edition Episode 3
In this episode of MythBusters Meridian Edition, we are testing the myth of what cards can open our back gate. All Meridians must be familiar with the experience of bwing locked out of the side gate when they arrive by bus. and we all know that the gate can only be opened by tapping the correct card(MJ teachers access only) at the card reader. In this episode, we are testing a number of "substitute" cards and we'll see which ones work.
1. EZ Link card:BUSTED
There was no response form the card reader. This is lagely due to the difference in electromagnetic frequency that can be read by the card. EZ Link is not compatible with the MJ reader.
2.Photocopy card: BUSTED
That's not a contactless card. Definitley impossible to be read by the reader.
3.Popular Card:TOTALLY BUSTED
There's no computer chip or anything metallic in that card. the reader'll be nuts if it could read it.
4.Kopitiam card: Plausible but still BUSTED
This is the most likely candidate but we are still unsuccessful at opening the gate. The reader was able to register the card and even flashed the green light, which means no error. But the card's code does not match the teacher's card. So too bad...still BUSTED.
That's all we've tested. next time, we will be testing the SENTOSA card as well as the "NETS WAVE" card. However, I shall predict that the SENTOSA card will be busted as well as the SENTOSA card can be registered by the EZ Link card reader. Which means its frequency is different from the MJ reader. So most probably it's busted. The NETS WAVE card I shall predict a plausible because this card is able to accpet a wider range of frequency so it is plausible that the reader is able to read it. But opening the gate will be another matter.
One alternative method will be to bring an industiral magnet, those very powerful ones, and slam it at the reader. Most probably, the stron magnetic force would destroy the reader and probably unlock the door.(Note: Don't try this. We don't guarnatee your safety)
And finally, the sure-open method. Bring an axe,chainsaw, or somthing big. Smash the electric lock and you'll be guaranteed clearance. But we will definitley not gurantee your safety. Especially if Ms Lai catches you.(Note: This is one of those "Don't try this at home" stuff. Seriously. you won't wana get caught doing this.)
