The Potato Farm

I'm working on a text based forum game that we can all play. It's a bit like D&D in that I'm sort of your dungeon master. Here's how it's going to work. I'm going to post up a scenario which will have a series of puzzles which you will have to solve in order to progress. The actions that you take as an individual will be the actions of everyone on the forum aka we're all progressing at the same speed.

This particular game is called 6 Rooms. It is exactly as it sounds and the rooms will progressively get harder. I think it's got a nice feel and this should be a lot of fun. I will try and post results of every single action, even if it does not progress you through the game.

Gameplay:
You may post one action per day. (Any other posted actions EVEN IF THEY ARE CORRECT will be ignored. Day starts at 12AM EST)
You will earn one point for every action which progresses you through the game.
You will earn two points for performing the action which allows you to exit the room.
You will lose one point if you perform an action which kills the character.
You may make on inquiry about the room per day. Explanation and example here.
It is in your best interest to wait until I reply to another posters action before you post yours. It could be a wasted turn.
ALL POSTS ABOUT THE GAME OR QUESTIONS YOU HAVE WILL BE POSTED !!!HERE!!! This thread is for game specific actions only.

When you finish 6 Rooms, I'll throw some stickers out to the person with the most points.

Without further delay...

You awaken in a small room. A bare light bulb hangs from the ceiling. A dull hum comes from nowhere in particular.

A computer terminal sits on a plain desk in the corner: You examine the screen and find the display reading:

INPUT>

in plain green text. The cursor blinks.

There is a wire wastepaper basket under the desk and a oaken cabinet hangs on the wall above the monitor. A small red button on a shiny silver plaque hangs on the left wall.

On the opposite wall is a dull metal door with no knob. Two lights, one red, one green, are above the door. The red one glows softly. A hastily installed light switch is attached next to the door.

Look in wastepaper basket.

Try key on the locked cabinet.

You tentatively fit the key into the oaken cabinet. *CLICK* The key disintegrates in your hand. You slowly open the cabinet door to discover.... a plain Phillips Head Screwdriver.

type "199852" in the computer.

You type the code into the computer. Kid Rock suddenly stops playing. A few moments later the green light above the door switches on and the steel door groans and slowly opens. You make your way into the next room and the door slams shut behind you.

The hum grows louder.

You now stand in another smallish room, this one decorated in pink floral wall paper. A decorative Dora the Explorer lamp rests on a plastic table in the corner. A regular old toaster sits next to it. Another metal door stands in front of you with three lights above it: red, yellow, and green.

One the wall next to the lamp there are five friendly looking blue buttons. They are arranged as such (X indicates that the button is lit):

1. ( X ) 2.( X ) 3.( _ ) 4.( X ) 5.( X )


Next to the door, two wires, one red, one blue, stick out haphazardly from the wall. Above this is a very creepy lifelike painting of President Bush.

Examine the toaster.

You pick up the toaster. Some toaster leavin's fall onto the floor. To your astonishment a copy of Shaq's "Diesel" album was sitting under the toaster. You begin to reach out, but think better of it. Probably best to just leave it where it is. Nothing remarkable strikes you about the toaster.
