only 1 passcode is possible - the correct one |

Indefinite.
Because you didn't say if there were 2, 8, 10, or 16 different numbers to choose from.

no, there is only ONE passcode, you said so yourself
"a 4 digit number passcode"
"a" is singular in this case, since "passcode" is singular, you didn't say anything like "set of passcodes"
therefore, only one passcode is needed |
|
|
none
smash the passcode

i said number passcode
if not specified, then that covers the scope of all numbers |

"Because you didn't say if there were 2, 8, 10, or 16 different numbers to choose from"
4 digits = 4 single numbers only, from 0 to 9
"13" is TWO digits, not 1 digit
there are only 10 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) different kinds of single-digit numbers |

I was referring to binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal counting systems.
In hexadecimals, 13 = D.

But either way, 2^4, 8^4, 10^4, and 16^4 for respective counting systems.
I'm incorrect, right?

Technically 10^4 different possible combinations.
In simpler terms; ten to the power of 4.

No, this is some sort of trick question.
Hmm.

Fine, I'm just going to throw a wild guess and say ∞ possible combinations...

satchel charge + door + detonator = entry [2]
