Shortly after you've met up with Haskell and the others, you come across a tank of fuel with a security valve whose code you have to crack to open. It's at entry #129.
There are three dials on it, with each dial having three segments, and on each of the segments are these numbers:
Dial One: 32,48,26 Dial Two: 13,16,24 Dial Three: 96,XX,64
You have to work out what XX is and turn to the entry with that number to get to the fuel inside. I know what the number is, having simply gone through the entries in the book to find the right one, which I did because I couldn't crack the code. What I want to know is what is the code, because I've not been able to work it out ? I know it's likely something obvious, and the other puzzles in Joe's books haven't been a problem for me, but this one has me stumped, and I'd really like to know what the code is, if only for my own peace of mind.
I just hope it isn't something too obvious.

I've never seen this one, or more likely i don't remember, but just from looking at it I think I have it. The numbers in the third row are the numbers in the first row multiplied by two. The numbers are mixed up in this row, and there is a pattern to it, but I'm not very good at explaining these things. Nonetheless:
96 is 48 times 2, 64 is 32 times 2, and I'd guess the last number is 52.

Yup. Dial Two has reshuffled and halved the Dial One numbers. Dial Three has reshuffled and doubled them.
NS.

Thanks for clearing that up.
