Your description above says:
"4 turns right (clockwise) to first number
3 turns left (anti-clockwise) to second number
2 turns right (clockwise) to third number"
I read this and thought maybe things are backwards south of the equator,
but in the video you go with
4 times to the left to the first number
3 turns right to the second number
2 turns left to the third number

A bit confusing, but otherwise a nice video.

Say I have incorrectly put in a combination. What do I do in order to reset it?
