Temple Password
$begingroup$
You and your friends Brutus and April are exploring an ancient temple when you encounter a locked door with a stone keypad next to it numbering 0, 1, 2 and 3.
Out of curiosity you decide to type in an answer.
1321
A booming voice then says,
Three of those numbers are correct in correct position
Your not so intelligent friend Brutus shoves you away and types in:
1333.
Now Zero of those numbers are correct in correct position says the Great Big Voice
Perplexed by this answer your friend April decides to test it by typing:
1322.
Now One of those numbers are correct in correct position says the Voice
Frustrated by the whole encounter Brutus smashes his fist into the keypad typing
1210.
Now One of those numbers are correct in correct position says the Voice.
However, Brutus broke the Zero Key. But no worries, you think for a second and then type the correct answer.
Well, what was it?

I think you should type in
132
Reasoning
Your friends names are Brutus and April so perhaps you are Julius (hinting at Caesar cipher).
The four entries in the code might possibly represent four rotors, each of which can occupy four positions. Each button press represents how many spaces the corresponding rotor is to be shifted.
Say, for example, our starting position is labelled 0000.
Then the first code shifts the rotors into relative positions 1321.
Brutus enters his code, 1333, and it shifts the rotors to relative positions 2210 (1+1,3+3,2+3,1+3 mod 4).
When April enters her code, 1322, the rotors are shifted into the relative positions 3132.
Finally, when Brutus enters 1210, the rotors are shifted into relative position 0002.
From the feedback of the booming voice, applied to the relative positions of the rotors, it's not too hard to deduce the correct relative positions to be 1322. The 4th roto is already in place so you just need to type 132 to align the others.

Not at all a bad answer, wasn't the solution I was looking for simply since, by context, the answer should be four digits.
