Arduino Combination Button? - arduino

Question

I am trying to set up an Arduino Uno plus a RelayShield along with 6 push buttons(standard), and 3 LED's(red, yellow, green). Now what I have code to do is to take in a button push combination that is 6 pushes long(order only matters for what is set in the array). I have everything wired up to a breadboard and all that other jazz. My problem is, none of the LED's are working(I followed detailed instructions from instructables - minus the code), and it doesn't matter how many button pushes there are, only button 3 triggers the relay.... Now, for simplicities sake, I didn't wire up all 6 buttons, and I just shortened the array down to 3 and adjusted accordingly(I didn't want to hook up 6 buttons right now). Can someone verify this code for me? Or tell me what is wrong with it? Thanks in advance!
