Is that similar to the 42314 trick on a coke machine? (press 4th
selection from the top, then second, etc.).

It had its own station, with a train from/to York at the beginning/end of
the main daytime shift. This also, IIRC, lasted until the 1980s.

permutation; the order in which matches are picked doesn't count.

Beware of the one at Bank on the eastbound Central Line platform. It bounces

unless you want a glucose shower!
