If you know what this is from, don't cheat and don't tell anybody else! I thought it might be fun for those of you who love riddles and puzzles, like me.

Here is the keypad!

1 - 2 - 3
4 - 5 - 6
7 - 8 - 9

The first is larger than the second;
The second twice the third;
The third smaller than the fourth;
The fourth is half the first.

Four of the numbers
are not repeated.
Three are not in the top row,
Two are not in the right row.
One of the numbers is the final key.

------

Okay, that's the exact phrasing in the game. I'm assuming that by "right row", they mean "right column". The answer is a four digit keycode that unlocks a door.

Start solving!

...something is wrong with the wording of that riddle...

it's not possible for 9 to be one of the numbers

Yes, but some riddles are complete JERKS! It means that one of the numbers is the final digit in the keycode. Yes, it's pointless.
