That made my brain hurt. :)

Sorry, I want try to create puzzle where one part helps to discover other part. This other part should be logical unsolvable without use the first part.
Did you proceeded this way ?

i have no idea what is in the upper left corner (it looks like "R 16" and "R 17" for possibly rows 16/17?) but if so i dont know what that has to do with anything
but just to the right of the R 16/17, are those table graph-looking things? (something like this): http://www.jqueryplugins.com/plugins/chart-and-graph/

the font of the word "unlocked" was very poor (but made for a much better solve)
the lock was pretty cool
but the solve was fantastic
no guessing
i used extensive edge logic throughout

No guessing!

I here must repeat: "this puzzle is possible to solve logical without guessing".
This logical solving is possible for human only. Computer software cannot do it when we don't count AI :).
Yes this "solving" isn't ordinary but is logical without questing.

Marena, I really enjoyed this puzzle. I saw the question mark, and since it was a larger puzzle, I wasn't sure I wanted to get stuck with a puzzle the required guessing. But I gave it a try anyway, just for the challenge. Well, I got through it, but wow, there was soooooo much edge logic involved. When I finally had a breakthrough, it finished nicely. And then I had to chuckle at the final image. Very clever idea.

I hope someone gets rid of the question mark so that others might be enticed to try this unique puzzle.
