According to Peter, the system contains ten different tests.
The first test
The test involves a wood case containing a 7x7 grid of small lights. Two of the spaces near the lower left in the grid do not feature lights, leaving a total of 47 lights. Instructions are read by Peter:
In Ability, Walter points out that the term "recruit" is also used in the ZFT manuscript. Olivia has Peter program the box to turn off the lights automatically in order to fool Jones. However, she later has to face a similar device attached to explosives and she is successful in turning off the lights without any assistance.
