This is a variation of a puzzle I found in a room. The room was more or less themeless 24 40 56 72 = 8 13 21 34 = 2 3 5 7 = 216 125 64 27 =
Cut your answer in two
The lock this puzzle corresponded to had a 4 digit number input.

Ooh, I like what they did with the fourth digit. That's funny, especially in the context of how to deal with the first three digits. Arguably it's unusual for a puzzle to be positively humorous, but it tickled me.

They actually didn't do that for the last digit. It was a little spin I put to it! In the original puzzle, the last number was 8, and you actually took a 0 from it (you were supposed to assume it was 08)

In that case, I like what you did with the fourth digit!

Wow, took me a while to get the last digit. I really didn't expect it to be like that. >< 24 40 56 72 = 88 (72+16), cut half become 8 8 13 21 34 = 55 (21+34), cut half become 5 2 3 5 7 = 11 (prime numbers), cut half become 1 216 125 64 27 = 6^3, 5^3, 4^3, 3^3 = 2^3 = 8, cut half become 0
So, the 4 digits are 8510? 8 cut half is not 4, right? ><
