The tennis club manager keeps the key to the snack room locked in a small safe in the clubhouse.
You want snacks.
To open the safe, you need a 14‑digit code.
The coach doesn't have a problem with you satisfying your cravings - but they want to make it a little more fun.
As a result, the coach leaves you a list of 14 tennis related questions - each has an answer that is a single digit from 0–9.
Write down the digit for Question 1, then Question 2, and so on, in order — the 14 digits you get form the code.
