Hey there, I'm Garland Candlesticks! I could really use your help with something.
You see, I have this important pamphlet in my luggage, but I just can't remember the combination to open it!
Chris Elgee gave a talk recently that might help me with this problem. Did you attend that?
I seem to recall Chris mentioning a technique to figure out the combinations...
I have faith in you! We'll get that luggage open in no time.
This pamphlet is crucial for me, so I can't thank you enough for your assistance.
Once we retrieve it, I promise to treat you to a frosty snack on me!

Check out Chris Elgee's talk regarding his and his wife's luggage. Sounds weird but interesting!

Solution

Let's attend KringleCon for this challenge. The way to get this lock opened is to put some (not too much) pressure on the lock (click 2-3 times), spin one dial until it get stuck, then move one to the next dial until that one get stuck. When all 4 dials are stuck, press the rest of the way on the lock and it should open. That's all there's to it!
