[Orange/Red] Take Five

Taking the sentence "Everything you need is in the file." literally, I think I solved this puzzle in let's say, just one step.




But maybe I'm wrong and my solution is the result of pure chance just because there're 2 things in this puzzle that matches perfect each other for 2 specific reasons.

When a puzzle is part of a context (I mean, part of a narrative) you have a clue about what you are looking for…

So, IMO, for those puzzles "out of any context" is good to have some "flavor text" in the statement of the puzzle, providing help about what kind of solution is expected. This way, the player can check his own solution against the flavor text in order to know if the puzzle has been solved, not yet or the approach taken was completely wrong.
