Letter: A key question with a mixed readership

Published 27 February 2019

From David Hoskin, Driffield, East Yorkshire, UK

Readers gave several excellent answers to a question about how many rotors on a key safe one should move to lock it (The Last Word, 26 January). These will doubtless find applications in others' everyday lives. A problem is that, sadly, not all honest householders read New Scientist and, presumably, a number of intelligent rogues do.
