What are sticking points

[sweet_kitten]

I think I know what they are but can someone tell me what they are and how they are relevant to crackin the lock?

Read the MIT guide. If you still dont know the answer, search.

It's not in the MIT guide. Shows how automatic these responses are becoming. Although in this case, it doesn't seem prudent to give the relevant information.

Sticking points are the spots where a combination lock (the kind with a single dial) seems to "stick" when you pull on the shackle or handle, making it difficult or impossible to rotate. In the past, if a spot stuck, it meant that that number was part of the combination; now, the wheels often have many "false" gates, meaning that it may or may not be.
