Correction:
In step 3 if the remainder is 2 or 3 subtract 2 (resulting in 0 or 1).
Hint:
My g/f Atira points out that if you've been out of high school awhile you have forgotten the basics of a master lock. So:
Clockwise a couple times to reset
Clockwise to the first number
Counter-Clockwise past the first number to the second number.
Clockwise directly to the third.
Yank hard.
Thank god I'm dating a younger woman, I'd have never remembered that on my own.

That's not a Master Lock- its an American brand lock.
I'm not usually such an ass about stuff like that, but I don't know if it would work right on a masterlock.
Very cool, though.

It worked for my old high school lock. Now I can actually use it again!
