Welcome to the dangerous and challenging world of bomb defusing.

Study this manual carefully; you are the expert. In these pages you will find everything you need to know to defuse even the most insidious of bombs.
And remember — One small oversight and it could all be over!

Defusing Bombs

A bomb will explode when its countdown timer reaches 0:00 or when too many strikes have been recorded. The only way to defuse a bomb is to disarm all of its modules before its countdown timer expires.

Example Bomb

Front

Side

Modules

Each bomb will include a certain number of modules that must be disarmed. With a few exceptions, each module is discrete and can be disarmed in any order.

Instructions for disarming modules can be found in Section 1. "Needy" modules present a special case and are described in Section 2. Translation help for translated modules can be found in Section 3.

Strikes

Strike Indicator

When the Defuser makes a mistake, the bomb will record a strike which will be displayed on the indicator above the countdown timer. Bombs with a strike indicator will typically explode upon the third strike. The timer will begin to count down faster after a strike has been recorded.

If no strike indicator is present above the countdown timer, the bomb will explode upon the first strike, leaving no room for error.

The strike indicator will only display up to two strikes. Any additional strikes will not be displayed, even if the bomb allows more than two strikes.

Gathering Information

Some disarming instructions will require specific information about the bomb, such as the serial number or other widgets. This type of information can typically be found on the top, bottom, or sides of the bomb casing.

Many modules will require information about Indicators, Batteries, or Ports. See Appendix A, B, and C for identification instructions. Manual pages of certain modules requiring this information may not always refer to these appendices.

Further appendices provide elaboration on other widgets, as well as concepts that will be useful in disarming certain modules.

Section 1: Modules

Modules can be identified by an LED in the corner, usually the top right. When this LED is lit green, the module has been disarmed.

All modules must be disarmed to defuse the bomb.

On the Subject of Wires

Wires are the lifeblood of electronics! Wait, no, electricity is the lifeblood. Wires are more like the arteries. The veins? No matter…

A wire module can have 3-6 wires on it.
Only the one correct wire needs to be cut to disarm the module.
Wire ordering begins with the first on the top.

3 wires:
If there are no red wires, cut the second wire.
Otherwise, if the last wire is white, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, if there is more than one blue wire, cut the last blue wire.
Otherwise, cut the last wire.

4 wires:
If there is more than one red wire and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the last red wire.
Otherwise, if the last wire is yellow and there are no red wires, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one blue wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there is more than one yellow wire, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, cut the second wire.

5 wires:
If the last wire is black and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the fourth wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one red wire and there is more than one yellow wire, cut the first wire.
Otherwise, if there are no black wires, cut the second wire.
Otherwise, cut the first wire.

6 wires:
If there are no yellow wires and the last digit of the serial number is odd, cut the third wire.
Otherwise, if there is exactly one yellow wire and there is more than one white wire, cut the fourth wire.
Otherwise, if there are no red wires, cut the last wire.
Otherwise, cut the fourth wire.

On the Subject of The Button

You might think that a button telling you to press it is pretty straightforward. That’s the kind of thinking that gets people exploded.

See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.
See Appendix B for battery identification reference.

Follow these rules in the order they are listed. Perform the first action that applies:

If the button is blue and the button says "Abort", hold the button and refer to "Releasing a Held Button".
If there is more than 1 battery on the bomb and the button says "Detonate", press and immediately release the button.
If the button is white and there is a lit indicator with label CAR, hold the button and refer to "Releasing a Held Button".
If there are more than 2 batteries on the bomb and there is a lit indicator with label FRK, press and immediately release the button.
If the button is yellow, hold the button and refer to "Releasing a Held Button".
If the button is red and the button says "Hold", press and immediately release the button.
If none of the above apply, hold the button and refer to "Releasing a Held Button".

Releasing a Held Button

If you start holding the button down, a colored strip will light up on the right side of the module. Based on its color, you must release the button at a specific point in time:

Blue strip: release when the countdown timer has a 4 in any position.
White strip: release when the countdown timer has a 1 in any position.
Yellow strip: release when the countdown timer has a 5 in any position.
Any other color strip: release when the countdown timer has a 1 in any position.

On the Subject of Keypads

I'm not sure what these symbols are, but I suspect they have something to do with occult.

Only one column below has all four of the symbols from the keypad.
Press the four buttons in the order their symbols appear from top to bottom within that column.

On the Subject of Simon Says

This is like one of those toys you played with as a kid where you have to match the pattern that appears, except this one is a knockoff that was probably purchased at a dollar store.

One of the four colored buttons will flash.
Using the correct table below, press the button with the corresponding color.
The original button will flash, followed by another. Repeat this sequence in order using the color mapping.
The sequence will lengthen by one each time you correctly enter a sequence until the module is disarmed.

If the serial number contains a vowel:

		Red Flash	Blue Flash	Green Flash	Yellow Flash
Button to press:	No Strikes	Blue	Red	Yellow	Green
	1 Strike	Yellow	Green	Blue	Red
	2 Strikes	Green	Red	Yellow	Blue

If the serial number does not contain a vowel:

		Red Flash	Blue Flash	Green Flash	Yellow Flash
Button to press:	No Strikes	Blue	Yellow	Green	Red
	1 Strike	Red	Blue	Yellow	Green
	2 Strikes	Yellow	Green	Blue	Red

On the Subject of Who’s on First

This contraption is like something out of a sketch comedy routine, which might be funny if it wasn't connected to a bomb. I’ll keep this brief, as words only complicate matters.

Read the display and use step 1 to determine which button label to read.
Using this button label, use step 2 determine which button to push.
Repeat until the module has been disarmed.

Step 1:

Based on the display, read the label of a particular button and proceed to step 2:

If the display is 4, press the button with the same label you pressed in stage 3.

On the Subject of Morse Code

An antiquated form of naval communication? What next? At least it's genuine Morse Code, so pay attention and you might just learn something.

Interpret the signal from the flashing light using the Morse Code chart to spell one of the words in the table.
The signal will loop, with a long gap between repetitions.
Once the word is identified, set the corresponding frequency and press the transmit (TX) button.

How to Interpret

1. A short flash represents a dot.

2. A long flash represents a dash.

3. There is a long gap between letters.

4. There is a very long gap before the word repeats.

If the word is:	Respond at frequency:
shell	3.505 MHz
halls	3.515 MHz
slick	3.522 MHz
trick	3.532 MHz
boxes	3.535 MHz
leaks	3.542 MHz
strobe	3.545 MHz
bistro	3.552 MHz
flick	3.555 MHz
bombs	3.565 MHz
break	3.572 MHz
brick	3.575 MHz
steak	3.582 MHz
sting	3.592 MHz
vector	3.595 MHz
beats	3.600 MHz

On the Subject of Complicated Wires

These wires aren't like the others. Some have stripes! That makes them completely different. The good news is that we've found a concise set of instructions on what to do about it! Maybe too concise...

Look at each wire: there is an LED above the wire and a space for a "★" symbol below the wire.
For each wire/LED/symbol combination, use the Venn diagram below to decide whether or not to cut the wire.
Each wire may be striped with multiple colors.

	Wire has red coloring
	Wire has blue coloring
	Has ★ symbol
	LED is on

Letter	Instruction
C	Cut the wire
D	Do not cut the wire
S	Cut the wire if the last digit of the serial number is even
P	Cut the wire if the bomb has a parallel port
B	Cut the wire if the bomb has two or more batteries

See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
See Appendix C for port identification reference.

On the Subject of Wire Placement

Sometimes, the wire may look like a face, calming you down... and then you explode.

This module contains a grid of wires.
There are always 8 wires on it.
Wires can be red, blue, yellow, black or white.
In the following table, use only the column corresponding to the color of the wire connected to C3.
Cut a wire if it is a specific color and is connected to a specific spot on the grid as indicated in the table.

	Black	Blue	Red	White	Yellow
	Wire connected to C3 is
Cut if color	is connected to:
Yellow	D2	D1	D2	A2	D1
Blue	A2	C4	A1	C4	D4
White	D3	D2	D4	B3	B2
White	B2	C1	B4	A1	C1
Red	A1	B3	C4	B2	B3
Blue	C3	C2	C1	D3	B1
Black	B1	D4	A4	D2	B4
Red	C4	D3	B1	C1	C2
Yellow	A3	C3	A2	A4	A3
Yellow	D1	A1	B2	B4	A4

On the Subject of Wire Sequences

It's hard to say how this mechanism works. The engineering is pretty impressive, but there must have been an easier way to manage nine wires.

Within this module there are several panels with wires on them, but only one panel is visible at a time. Switch to the next panel by using the down button and the previous panel by using the up button.
Do not switch to the next panel until you are sure that you have cut all necessary wires on the current panel.
Cut the wires as directed by the following table. Wire occurrences are cumulative over all panels within the module.

Red Wire Occurrences
Wire Occurrence	Cut if connected to:
First red occurrence	C
Second red occurrence	B
Third red occurrence	A
Fourth red occurrence	A or C
Fifth red occurrence	B
Sixth red occurrence	A or C
Seventh red occurrence	A, B or C
Eighth red occurrence	A or B
Ninth red occurrence	B

Blue Wire Occurrences
Wire Occurrence	Cut if connected to:
First blue occurrence	B
Second blue occurrence	A or C
Third blue occurrence	B
Fourth blue occurrence	A
Fifth blue occurrence	B
Sixth blue occurrence	B or C
Seventh blue occurrence	C
Eighth blue occurrence	A or C
Ninth blue occurrence	A

Black Wire Occurrences

First black occurrence	A, B or C
Second black occurrence	A or C
Third black occurrence	B
Fourth black occurrence	A or C
Fifth black occurrence	B
Sixth black occurrence	B or C
Seventh black occurrence	A or B
Eighth black occurrence	C
Ninth black occurrence	C

On the Subject of Mazes

This seems to be some kind of maze, probably stolen off of a restaurant placemat.

Find the maze with matching circular markings.
The defuser must navigate the white light to the red triangle using the arrow buttons.
Warning: Do not cross the lines shown in the maze. These lines are invisible on the bomb.

On the Subject of Passwords

Fortunately this password doesn't seem to meet standard government security requirements: 22 characters, mixed case, numbers in random order without any palindromes above length 3.

The buttons above and below each letter will cycle through the possibilities for that position.
Only one combination of the available letters will match a password below.
Press the submit button once the correct word has been set.

On the Subject of Colour Flash

It’s easy to identify colours. Red, Blue, Green, etc. Turns out it's a bit harder when you display a word colour in a different colour though...

A Colour Flash module will repeatedly flash a sequence of 8 different words representing colours in different colours.
The possible colours are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Magenta and White.
There is also a Yes button and a No button on the module.
Only one of the Yes and No buttons need to be pressed to disarm the module, but must be pressed at the correct time according to the rules below.
The colour of the last word in the sequence determines which set of rules to follow below.
Follow the rules down from the top-most rule, down to the bottom-most rule for the block that applies to your module.

The colour of the last word in the sequence is Red:

If Green is used as the word at least three times in the sequence, press Yes on the third time Green is used as either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.

Otherwise, if Blue is used as the colour of the word exactly once, press No when the word Magenta is shown.

Otherwise, press Yes the last time White is either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.

The colour of the last word in the sequence is Yellow:

If the word Blue is shown in Green colour, press Yes on the first time Green is used as the colour of the word.

Otherwise, if the word White is shown in either White or Red colour, press Yes on the second time in the sequence where the colour of the word does not match the word itself.

Otherwise, count the number of times Magenta is used as either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence (the word Magenta in Magenta colour only counts as one), and press No on the colour in the total's position (e.g. a total of 4 means the fourth colour in sequence).

Continuation of previous table...

The colour of the last word in the sequence is Green:

If a word occurs consecutively with different colours, press No on the fifth entry in the sequence.

If Magenta is used as the word as least three times in the sequence, press No on the first time Yellow is used as either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.

Otherwise, press Yes on any colour where the colour of the word matches the word itself.

The colour of the last word in the sequence is Blue:

If the colour of the word does not match the word itself three times or more in the sequence, press Yes on the first time in the sequence where the colour of the word does not match the word itself.

If the word Red is shown in Yellow colour, or the word Yellow is shown in White colour, press No when the word White is shown in Red colour.

Otherwise, press Yes the last time Green is either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.

The colour of the last word in the sequence is Magenta:

If a colour occurs consecutively with different words, press Yes on the third entry in the sequence.

If the number of times the word Yellow appears is greater than the number of times that the colour of the word is Blue, press No the last time the word Yellow is in the sequence.

Otherwise, press No on the first time in the sequence where the colour of the word matches the word of the seventh entry in the sequence.

The colour of the last word in the sequence is White:

If the colour of the third word matches the word of the fourth word or fifth word, press No the first time that Blue is used as the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.

If the word Yellow is shown in Red colour, press Yes on the last time Blue is used as the colour of the word.

Otherwise, press No.

On the Subject of Piano Keys

What do you get when you drop a piano down a mine shaft? A flat minor.

See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.
See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
See Appendix C for port identification reference.
See Appendix Piano for piano/keyboard reference.

A piano keys module will present with 3 musical symbols in the top indicator and a 12-note keyboard to input with.
Each rule consists of one or more required symbol(s) and optional further requirements based on the bomb casing.
Follow the list of rules down until one matches the criteria for the module; then execute the sequence of notes listed.
A failed attempt will require re-entry of the entire note sequence.

*Required Symbol(s)*	*Further Requirements*	*Note Sequence*
b	Last digit of serial number is even	Bb Bb Bb Bb Gb Ab Bb Ab Bb
c or #	2 or more battery holders	Eb Eb D D Eb Eb D Eb Eb D D Eb
n and U	(No other requirements)	E F# F# F# F# E E E
C or T	RCA port is present	Bb A Bb F Eb Bb A Bb F Eb
B	SND indicator is present and lit	E E E C E G G
m or U or c	3 or more batteries	C# D E F C# D E F Bb A
b and #	(No other requirements)	G G C G G C G C
C or m	Serial number contains a 3, 7 or 8	A E F G F E D D F A
n or T or B	(No other requirements)	G G G Eb Bb G Eb Bb G
(No requirement)	(No other requirements)	B D A G A B D A

On the Subject of Semaphore

This module demands attention from the sea - unlucky for you the bomb's bone dry.

See the next page for semaphore reference.

A semaphore module will present with a previous button, a next button, an OK button and a semaphore indicator.
Use the previous and next buttons to navigate through the semaphore sequence, starting from the left-most semaphore character to the right-most semaphore character.
The semaphore sequence will contain some characters from the serial number on the bomb, but also includes one other character not present in the serial number.
Navigate to the one and only character that is missing from the serial number, and then press the OK button.
Control characters, such as 'Numerals', 'Letters', 'Error', 'Rest' and 'Cancel' are not considered as a valid answer.

Semaphore Reference

Numbers are signalled by first signalling 'Numerals', then the numbers. Similarly, letters are signalled by first signalling 'Letters', then the letters.

Use the following graphics as a reference to how to interpret semaphore characters.

Rest / Space	Numerals	Error / Attention	A or 1	B or 2
C or 3	D or 4	E or 5	F or 6	G or 7
H or 8	I or 9	J or Letters	K or 0	L
M	N	O	P	Q
R	S	T	U	V
W	X	Y	Z	Cancel / Annul

On the Subject of Emoji Math

Math is easy. But is it easy when the numbers are in another language? Let’s find out.

Decipher the characters on the display into numbers and solve the answer to the question. Enter the answer with the keypad and press ‘=’ to submit it. Use ‘-’ to toggle the negative sign for negative answers. There’s no delete button so press those buttons carefully!

For example: =(+=( translates to 1+1
The answer to enter is 2.

Character	Number
:)	0
=(	1
(:	2
)=	3
:(	4
):	5
=)	6
(=	7
:\|	8
\|:	9

On the Subject of Switches

A yes or no choice isn't too bad. Unfortunately you have to make five of them and any of them could be your last.

Switches need to be flipped to match the lit indicators either above or below them.

Avoid the following switch states:

On the Subject of Two Bits

This poorly programmed lookup device is as maddening with its slow responses as it is unforgiving with ill-timed inputs. Patience required.

Query a series of two-letter codes to track down the correct answer before submitting it. This primitive lookup machine is intolerant to incomplete and excessive inputs, as well as any input while it is busy.

Step 1: Determine Initial Code

If the serial number contains a letter, use the leftmost letter's numeric position in the alphabet as your base value (e.g. A=1, B=2). For no letters, use 0.

Add the last digit of the serial number multiplied by the number of batteries present.

If there is a Stereo RCA port present, double the current value.*

This value** is now the current code.

* Note: Skip this step if there is also an RJ45 port present.

** Note: Use the last two digits if the value is greater than 99. Prepend with a zero if less than 10.

Step 2: Determine character pair and Perform Query

Using the current code, look up the character pair. Enter that pair into the device and press "Query".

	-0	-1	-2	-3	-4	-5	-6	-7	-8	-9
0-	kb	dk	gv	tk	pv	kp	bv	vt	pz	dt
1-	ee	zk	ke	ck	zp	pp	tp	tg	pd	pt
2-	tz	eb	ec	cc	cz	zv	cv	gc	bt	gt
3-	bz	pk	kz	kg	vd	ce	vb	kd	gg	dg
4-	pb	vv	ge	kv	dz	pe	db	cd	td	cb
5-	gb	tv	kk	bg	bp	vp	ep	tt	ed	zg
6-	de	dd	ev	te	zd	bb	pc	bd	kc	zb
7-	eg	bc	tc	ze	zc	gp	et	vc	tb	vz
8-	ez	ek	dv	cg	ve	dp	bk	pg	gk	gz
9-	kt	ct	zz	vg	gd	cp	be	zt	vk	dc

Step 3: Repeat and Submit

The response code from the device from the query in Step 2 is now your current code. Perform Step 2 an additional 2 times, using the new code each time.

After receiving the response code from the final query, look up the corresponding character pair, enter the pair into the device and press "Submit".

On the Subject of Anagrams

Randomly punching in the letters will eventually give me another word. One of the arrangements must work, right?

The display shows a word. Rearrange the letters to form another word. It's got to work. It just has to. Note that the status light is on the top left of the module.

See Appendix 1819 for an anagrams table reference.

On the Subject of Word Scramble

These letters are confusing. I think they're in the wrong order.

The display shows a scrambled word. Decipher the word and punch it in to solve this module.

See Appendix 1819 for an anagrams table reference.

On the Subject of Combination Locks

This looks like a combination lock. I thought I was disarming this bomb, not unlocking it.

See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
See Appendix Two Factor for two factor identification reference.

Like a typical combination lock, this requires 3 numbers to unlock. Turn the dial to the right to the first number. Then turn it to the left for the second number. Finally, turn it to the right for the last number. That will unlock it!
If sequential numbers in the code are the same, perform a full revolution back to the same number.

How to decode the combination:
Each number ranges from 0-19. Refer to the table to determine each number. Be careful if there are two factor codes present because they change periodically!

First number:

Add the least significant digit of each two factor code together. If there are no two factor codes, use the last digit of the serial number plus the number of solved modules.
Add the number of batteries.
If the result is over 19, keep subtracting 20 until the result is between 0-19.

Second number:

Add the most significant digit of each two factor code together. If there are no two factor codes, use the number of modules on the bomb (including needy modules).
Add the number of solved modules.
If the result is over 19, keep subtracting 20 until the result is between 0-19.

Third number:

Add the first two numbers together.
If the result is over 19, keep subtracting 20 until the result is between 0-19.

On the Subject of Round Keypads

I think someone tried to make this module look really cool, but failed.

The circular keypad contains 8 symbols from the columns below.
Find the column below that contains the most symbols from the keypad.
If two or more columns have the most symbols, use the right-most column.
Press all buttons that have a symbol not present on the correct column.

On the Subject of Foreign Exchange Rates

If bombs were stock brokers...

Defusing this module requires the expert to have a device that can connect to the World Wide Web.

This module has the ability to connect to the internet and query the state of foreign exchange rates. There should be a three times three grid of keys, each with a light emitting diode. DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY ON THIS MODULE WHILE THE LIGHT EMITTING DIODES ARE FLASHING IN SEQUENCE.

The keys are grouped by rows:

Top row: ISO 4217 alphabetic code for the base currency.[1][2]

Middle row: ISO 4217 alphabetic code for the target currency.[1][2]

Bottom row: Value of currency to convert.

All light emitting diodes have turned green:

Enter the following uniform resource locator into your internet capable device:
http://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest?base=XXX&symbols=YYY
Replace XXX with the ISO 4217 alphabetic code for the base currency.
Replace YYY with the ISO 4217 alphabetic code for the target currency.
You will receive data in a Javascript object notation format, look for {"YYY": NUMBER}, where NUMBER will be the exchange rate. Using the exchange rate, convert the number in the bottom row to the target currency, round that number down and take note of the 2nd digit from the left[4]. Press the Nth key where N is the noted number (count keys from left to right, top to bottom)[5].

All light emitting diodes have turned red:

In this case the module failed to query today's currency rates. Get the ISO 4217 numeric code for the target currency's country and take note the 2nd digit from the right. Press the Nth key where N is the noted number (count keys from left to right, top to bottom)[5].

[1]: If there is more than one battery on the bomb, the base currency code and target currency code is swapped.
[2]: This may instead be the ISO 4217 numeric code.
[3]: Note the currency rates are updated around 4PM CET.
[4]: In the case the converted currency is less than 10, the noted number is 0.
[5]: In the case the noted number is 0, press the top left key.

On the Subject of Morsematics

Get it? Because it uses morse and maths! I'll see myself out...

Every letter of the alphabet is considered to have numeric value equal to its position (A=1, B=2 ... Z=26)
Numeric values outside the 1-26 range wrap around (Z+1=A, 26+1=1)
Three unique letters are being received on a loop, shown by the three flashing lights in the middle of the module
To solve the module, a correct response letter must be sent in morse using the transmit button in the bottom-right
The small switch at the top can be used to toggle the received letter lights

Transmitted morse is interpreted based on gaps between button holds.
Holding for more than double the length of the average gap is considered to be a dash, and anything shorter is considered a dot.
When transmitting, E and T are considered equal, as they are indistinguishable.

Take the 4th and 5th character of the serial number, this is your character pair.

Perform each step below in sequence, modifying your character pair progressively:

For each indicator that has a matching letter in the received letters; add 1 to the first character of your pair if the indicator is on, or the second character if it is off
If the sum of your character pair is a square number, add 4 to the first character; otherwise, subtract 4 from the second character
Add the largest received letter to the first character in your pair
If any received letters are prime, subtract them from the first character in your pair
If any received letters are square, subtract them from the second character in your pair
If batteries are present and any received letters are divisible by the number of batteries present, subtract those received letters from both characters in your pair

After performing all steps, perform whatever rule applies below:

Characters are equal: Transmit the first character
First character larger: Transmit the difference of the two characters
Second character larger: Transmit the sum of the two characters

See Appendix Alphabet for alternative alphabet encoding reference.

On the Subject of Orientation Cube

If the bomb doesn’t kill us a brain haemorrhage will.

In order to defuse this part of the bomb you will need good 3D orientation skills. A virtual cube needs to be rotated into a specific orientation using the four keys along the bottom. Unfortunately there is no display to indicate the current orientation of the virtual cube so you will have to imagine the state of the cube yourself.

The two keys in the bottom left will yaw the cube clockwise or anti-clockwise, respective to looking at the cube from the top.

The two keys in the bottom right will roll the cube clockwise or anti-clockwise, respective to the virtual observer. The virtual observer’s position is indicated on the module as an eye. NOTE: The virtual observer’s position may change.

For example, if the eye is at the bottom then it is facing the ‘FRONT’ face. Pressing ‘Roll clockwise’ will place the ‘LEFT’ face where the ‘TOP’ face is.

If the serial number on the bomb contains the letter R:

Rotate the cube so that the initial left face is in the same position as the initial top face, then press the SET button.

Otherwise, if the bomb has a lit indicator with the label TRN OR it has a lit/unlit indicator with the label CAR:

Rotate the cube so that the initial bottom face is in the same position as the initial right face, then press the SET button.

Otherwise, if the bomb has a PS2 port OR there have been one or more strikes:

Rotate the cube so that the initial bottom face is in the same position as the initial front face and the initial left face is in the same position as the initial bottom face, then press the SET button.

Otherwise, if the serial number on the bomb contains either the number 7 or 8:

Rotate the cube so that the initial right face is in the same position as the initial bottom face and the initial back face is in the same position as the initial front face, then press the SET button.

Otherwise, if there are more than two batteries on the bomb OR the virtual observer’s initial position is facing the initial left face:

Rotate the cube so that the initial top face is in the same position as the initial bottom face, then press the SET button.

Otherwise:

Rotate the cube so that the initial top face is in the same position as the initial left face, then press the SET button.

On a strike:

If you get strike then the virtual cube will be reset to the initial position. Be aware you may need to select a new rule if the observer is now in a different position.

On the Subject of Connection Check

What is this, some kind of circuit visualization? I don't even care anymore...

This module contains 4 number pairs placed on each side of 4 LEDs and a ''Check'' button.
To disarm this module, you must follow these steps:
1. Find out in which chart you will be looking for connections, using the rules given below.
2. For each LED look at the numbers on each side of it and check if there is a line connecting the circles denoted with those numbers in the right chart.
3. If there is such a connection, switch the LED to GREEN, otherwise switch it to RED.
4. Press the ''CHECK'' button. If LED positions are correct, the module will disarm. Otherwise the bomb will register a strike.

To determine the right chart on the next page you will need a character of the bomb’s serial number. Use the following rules to find out which character you need. Then, on the next page, search for that character in the codes that label the charts. The chart with a code containing your character is the chart you are looking for.

If the numbers on this module are all different, use the last character of the serial number.

Otherwise, if there is more than one ''1'' on the module, look at the first character of the serial number.

Otherwise, if there is more than one ''7'' on the module, look at the last character of the serial number.

Otherwise, if there are at least three ''2'' on the module, look at the second character of the serial number.

Otherwise, if there is no ''5'' on the module, look at the fifth character of the serial number.

Otherwise, if there are exactly two ''8''s on the module, look at the third character of the serial number.

Otherwise, if there are more than 6 batteries or no batteries on the bomb, look at the last character of the serial number.

Otherwise, count the number of batteries on the bomb. Use that number to decide which character of the serial number you should look at. E.g.: if there are 3 batteries, look at the third character of the serial number.

On the Subject of Forget Me Not

This one likes attention, but not too much attention.

The main display will update on each solved module*. The current display stage is shown on the smaller display.
Add the displayed number to the corresponding number gained from the chart below, and record the least significant digit from the total. This is the calculated number for that stage.
When all other modules* have been completed, the display will turn blank.
Press the calculated numbers on the keypad in the order they were obtained.
If an incorrect calculated number is entered, the button for the displayed number for that stage turns green.

First number:

If the bomb has an unlit CAR indicator, the number is 2.
Otherwise, if the bomb has more unlit indicators than lit indicators, the number is 7.
Otherwise, if the bomb has no unlit indicators, the number is the number of lit indicators.
Otherwise, the number is the last digit of the serial.

Second number:

If the bomb has a serial port and 3 or more digits in the serial, the number is 3.
Otherwise, if the previous calculated number was even, the number is the previous calculated number plus 1.
Otherwise, the number is the previous calculated number minus 1.

All other numbers:

If either of the previous two calculated numbers were 0, the number is the largest digit in the serial.
Otherwise, if both of the previous two calculated numbers were even, the number is the smallest odd digit in the serial, or 9 if no such digit exists.
Otherwise, the number is the most significant digit of the sum of the previous two calculated numbers.

*Some modules are ignored by Forget Me Not modules.

On the Subject of Astrology

Sometimes, the stars have it out for you. Is this bomb a good or a poor omen?

Your fortune reading consists of the alchemical symbols of a classical element, a celestial body, and a zodiac sign.
Calculate the Omen score of this reading:
For each pair of symbols, look up their relationship value in the tables below, and add to the Omen score.
For each symbol, if the English name of the symbol has a letter in common with the serial number of the bomb, add 1 to the Omen score.
Subtract 1 from the Omen score for each symbol without a letter in common with the serial number.
If the Omen score is positive, press GOOD OMEN anytime the number of the Omen score is a digit in the timer.
If the Omen score is negative, press POOR OMEN anytime the number of the Omen score is a digit in the timer.
If the Omen score is 0, press NO OMEN at any time.

On the Subject of the Mystic Square

O knight in shining armour, deliver us from the evils of the skull!

“row”/“column” on this page always refers to the table below.
Do not uncover the skull before uncovering the knight.
How to find the skull:
1. If the middle position is empty, the skull is under the 7. Continue to step 4.
2. X X
  
  X
  
  X X
  
  The middle number determines which row/column to use. If the last digit in the serial number is in one of the five cross positions as shown in the diagram on the right, use rows. Otherwise, use columns.
3. Start from the empty position on the module. Using the table below, consider each number in the row/column and check if it's a direct neighbour to the current position. If it is, continue from that position. The final position is where the skull is located.
4. To disarm the module, move the sliders into a target constellation shown on the next page.

On the Subject of Adventure Games

This appears to be a strange interface for an old text adventure game. All of the inventory management puzzles you have come to know and love, but none of the story.

The three screens show the enemy you are facing, a list of statistics about your character and the world, and a list of the objects in your inventory.
In your inventory is three weapons, plus five miscellaneous items.
You must decide which of the items to use to prepare for the battle, then which weapon to use.
Use the left and right arrows to scroll through statistics and inventory.
To use an item or weapon, press “USE” when it is displayed in the inventory.
Use the item table below to determine whether or not to use each item.
Items can be used in any order, but all applicable items must be used before a weapon is used to fight the enemy.
Use the weapon table and the enemy statistic table to determine which weapon to use to fight the enemy.
For each weapon, compare the player’s relevant stat (STR, DEX, or INT), plus any bonus, to the enemy’s same stat.
To defeat the enemy most efficiently, use the weapon which has the highest stat advantage (or lowest disadvantage).
If two weapons have the same stat advantage, either can be used.

Statistic	Description
5 STR	Strength (STR) of player, used in combat
5 DEX	Dexterity (DEX) of player, used in combat
5 INT	Intelligence (INT) of player, used in combat
5’ 5”	Height of player, in feet and inches
15°C	Temperature, in degrees Celsius
9.8 m/s²	Force of gravity, in meters per second squared

On the Subject of Plumbing

I'd wash your hands after this one...

The module has 4 input pipes (left) and 4 output pipes (right). At least one input pipe and one output pipe will be active.
The defuser must connect all active input pipes to all active output pipes, whilst taking care not to connect inactive pipes, using the 6 by 6 grid of pipes. Clicking on a pipe in the 6 by 6 grid will rotate it.
All pipes connected to an active pipe must also correctly connect to other pipes. Any pipe with a connection not going into another pipe (or going into an inactive in/out pipe) will cause a strike upon checking the solution.
Once the solution has been entered, press “CHECK” to verify the solution. An incorrect solution will cause a strike.
Active input and output pipes are determined using the table below. If the pipe has more points for it than against, it is active.

Red Input For: Serial contains a ‘1’ For: Exactly 1 RJ45 port Against: Any duplicate ports Against: Any duplicate serial characters	Yellow Input For: Serial contains a ‘2’ For: One or more Stereo RCA ports Against: No duplicate ports Against: Serial contains a ‘1’ or ‘L’
Green Input For: Serial contains 3 or more numbers For: One or more DVI-D ports Against: Red Input is inactive Against: Yellow Input is inactive	Blue Input Note: Always active if all other inputs are inactive For: At least 4 port types For: At least 4 batteries Against: No ports Against: No batteries
Red Output For: One or more Serial ports For: Exactly one battery Against: Serial contains more than 2 numbers Against: More than 2 inputs are active	Yellow Output For: Any duplicate ports For: Serial contains a ‘4’ or ‘8’ Against: Serial doesn’t contain a ‘2’ Against: Green Input is active

On the Subject of Cryptography

WLMY ETGXFD EQCD ED PQKW WT CMFF EZYDFB.

SEE THE NEXT PAGE FOR AN EXCERPT OF "A CHRISTMAS CAROL".
SEE THE SUBSEQUENT PAGE FOR FREQUENT LETTERS AND WORDS.

This module will display ciphertext which contains a sentence from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (aka the plaintext). The plaintext has been encrypted via a substitution cypher, meaning each letter in the alphabet is substituted for a different letter.

The letter E will always mean the letter E.
Apart from the letter E, no letter can substitute itself.
All punctuation has been removed from the ciphertext.
Above the display are five keys each with a letter that is found in the plaintext.
Once the ciphertext is decrypted, press each key only once, in order that they appear in the plaintext.
Entering the incorrect sequence will gain a strike, try the sequence again from the beginning.

NOTE: The meaning of the word colors is currently unknown, however you can safely ignore them.

Excerpt from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".

Scrooge knew he was dead? Of course he did. How could it be otherwise? Scrooge and he were partners for I don't know how many years. Scrooge was his sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole friend, and sole mourner. And even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event, but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral, and solemnised it with an undoubted bargain. The mention of Marley's funeral brings me back to the point I started from. There is no doubt that Marley was dead. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate. If we were not perfectly convinced that Hamlet's Father died before the play began, there would be nothing more remarkable in his taking a stroll at night, in an easterly wind, upon his own ramparts, than there would be in any other middle-aged gentleman rashly turning out after dark in a breezy spot -- say Saint Paul's Churchyard for instance -- literally to astonish his son's weak mind.

Scrooge never painted out Old Marley's name. There it stood, years afterwards, above the warehouse door: Scrooge and Marley. The firm was known as Scrooge and Marley. Sometimes people new to the business called Scrooge Scrooge, and sometimes Marley, but he answered to both names. It was all the same to him.

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grind-stone, Scrooge! A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dogdays; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas.

External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn't know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet, could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often 'came down' handsomely, and Scrooge never did. Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks, `My dear Scrooge, how are you? When will you come to see me?' No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle, no children asked him what it was o'clock, no man or woman ever once in all his life inquired the way to such and such a place, of Scrooge. Even the blind men's dogs appeared to know him; and when they saw him coming on, would tug their owners into doorways and up courts; and then would wag their tails as though they said, `No eye at all is better than an evil eye, dark master!'

But what did Scrooge care! It was the very thing he liked. To edge his way along the crowded paths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep its distance, was what the knowing ones call `nuts' to Scrooge.

On the Subject of 3D Maze

You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike. Exits are to the north, south, east, and west.

The defuser starts in a random position and orientation in one of the ten mazes below.
Locate the defuser using a 3D view of the maze walls, which also shows the symbol on the floor of the current space, and if there is a symbol in the space ahead.
The maze map is cyclic; moving off one of the edges will take the defuser to the space on the opposite side, provided there is no wall in between the space.
One of the walls is the goal, the rest will cause strikes if moved into.
To defuse the module, locate the goal wall, and move through it from either side.
Using the methods below, calculate a row (0-7), a column (0-7), and a direction; the goal wall will be the first wall from these coordinates in the given direction.

Row:

Start with the first numeric digit in the serial number.
Add 1 for every unlit indicator with a letter in “MAZE GAMER”.
If the row number is greater than 7, subtract 8.

Column:

Start with the last numeric digit in the serial number.
Add 1 for every lit indicator with a letter in “HELP IM LOST”.
If the column number is greater than 7, subtract 8.

Direction:

Each maze contains three star icons marked on the map.
On the floor in each of these locations is a letter, which maps to the direction to the goal wall: “N” becomes North, “S” becomes South, “E” becomes East, and “W” becomes West.
Beware of letters not in these marked locations, they carry incorrect decoy instructions!

On the Subject of the Mouse In The Maze

Inside some bombs is a mouse that is remote-controlled via a chip in its spinal cord.

The mouse is located inside one of the following mazes.
The mouse can move forward or backward or turn left or right.
To disarm the module, navigate the mouse to the accepting position and press the circular button with the labyrinth.
Pressing the button at any other location causes a strike.
The accepting position is marked with one of four colored spheres. Which one depends on the color of the torus in the middle of the maze, according to the table below.

On the Subject of Chess

Under pressure, chess can feel more like a game of battleships.

This module is based on a 6×6 chessboard (referenced on the following page) and all figures follow the standard FIDE movement rules.

The chess module will present with a display and two rows of six buttons each.

There are six unique coordinates that represent six positions on the chessboard.
Use the numbered keys in the bottom row to browse through the different coordinates. A green LED below the button will indicate the position of the currently selected coordinate.
Using the reference table below, each position can be assigned a certain chess figure.
The chess figures will cover 35 of the 36 possible fields with their combined movesets.
All chess figures are colorless but can block each other's movement.
Find the one field that isn't covered by any of the chess figures and enter the coordinate to defuse the module.
To enter the coordinate, press the letter first, then the number. The LEDs will turn red to confirm the input of a solution.

Use this table as reference to determine the correct figure for each position:

Position #1: Monarchy vs Theocracy

Occupied by a king if Position #5 is occupied by a queen.

Otherwise, the field is occupied by a bishop.

Position #2: Commander of the Army

Occupied by a rook if the last digit of the serial number is odd.

Otherwise, the field is occupied by a knight.

Position #3: A Matter of Regents

Occupied by a queen if there are less than two rooks on the board.

Otherwise, the field is occupied by a king.

Position #4: The Iron Tower

Always occupied by a rook.

Position #5: Conflict between Good and Evil

Occupied by a queen if the field is white.

Otherwise, the field is occupied by a rook.

Position #6: The Scepter, the Sword and the Crosier

Occupied by a queen if there are no other queens on the board.

Otherwise, occupied by a knight if there are no other knights on the board.

Otherwise, the field is occupied by a bishop.

Chess Board Reference

Use the following graphic as a reference for the chess board layout.

On the Subject of Silly Slots

Sassy Sally said sorry since soggy Steven slurped soup.

Only press the KEEP button when the slots are in a LEGAL state. Only pull the lever when the slots are in an ILLEGAL state. The module will automatically defuse after 4 pulls of the lever.

The slots are in an ILLEGAL state if any of these statements are true:

There is a single Silly Sausage.
There is a single Sassy Sally, unless the slot in the same position 2 stages ago was Soggy.
There are 2 or more Soggy Stevens.
There are 3 Simons, unless any of them are Sassy.
There is a Sausage adjacent to a Sally, unless every adjacent Sally is Soggy.
There are exactly 2 Silly slots, unless they are both Steven.
There is a single Soggy slot, unless the previous stage had any number of Sausage slots.
All 3 slots are the same symbol and colour, unless there has been a Soggy Sausage in any previous stage.
All 3 slots are the same colour, unless any of them are Sally or there was a Silly Steven in the last stage.
There are any number of Silly Simons, unless there has been a Sassy Sausage in any previous stage.

UNDERLINED words are placeholders, substitute them for the correct word using the matrix below and the keyword found on the module’s display. This keyword changes when the lever is pulled.

		Sassy	Silly	Soggy	Sally	Simon	Sausage	Steven

On the Subject of Number Pads

Try putting in 0000. No? Try 0001. Still not working? We might be here for a while...

See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.

See Appendix B for battery identification reference.

See Appendix C for port identification reference.

Enter a 4-digit code using the numbered buttons.
Press the green button labelled ENT to submit the entered code.
Press the red button labelled CLR to discard the entered code.
Perform the first action that applies on each level.
The CLR and ENT buttons' colors are to be ignored.

Using the wheel chart, starting from the center, pick a path by following the instructions below for each level you are on. (center level is 1, next one out is 2, etc.) Each path you take is the code digit corresponding to its level number unless contradicted by higher levels' instructions. Follow the final instructions after you complete all four levels.

On the first level, the paths are in order from the upper-right corner going clockwise. On the rest of the levels, they are also in clockwise order.

Level 1:

If three or more of the numbered buttons are colored yellow, take the first path.
If all three of the numbered buttons 4, 5, and 6 are colored white, blue, or red, take the second path.
If the serial number contains a vowel, take the third path.
Otherwise, take the fourth path.

Level 2:

If there are at least two blue numbered buttons and at least three green buttons, take the first path.
If the numbered button 5 isn't blue nor white, take the second path.
If there are less than two ports on the bomb, take the third path.
Otherwise, take the fourth path, and if the top row of buttons contains a green button, subtract 1 from the first digit (if it's 0, it becomes 9).

Level 3:

If there are more than two white numbered buttons and more than two yellow numbered buttons, take the first path.
Otherwise, take the second path and reverse the current 3-digit code.

Level 4:

If there are 2 or less yellow numbered buttons, take the first path and add 1 to each digit (if a digit is 9, it becomes 0).
Otherwise, take the second path.

Final Instructions:

(follow all instructions in this order)

If the last digit of the serial number is even, swap the first and third digits.
If there are an odd number of batteries, swap the second and third digits.
If neither of the above criteria is met, swap the first and fourth digits.
Finally, if the sum of all the digits in the code is even, reverse the code.

Otherwise, if three colours flashed and exactly one hasn't been pressed, press that colour.
Otherwise, if at least three colours flashed, press the lowest priority colour.
Otherwise, if one colour flashed, press that colour.
Otherwise, press green.

On the Subject of Laundry

Sorting and folding are the least of your worries.

All the messes from the previous explosions must be cleaned up. Using the Laundry Symbol Reference L4UHDR9 and the rules below, determine the correct setting on the machine panel. Once satisfied, insert a coin. On error, a sock will be lost, and a strike gained.

Determine the piece of clothing that has to be cleaned with the tables below. For all values higher than 5, subtract 6 from the total until the new number is less than 6. For all negative values, add 6 until you have a value between 0–5.

The Clothing Item (table L41) is determined by the number of unsolved modules (excluding needy modules) + total amount of indicators.
The Item Material (table L42) is determined by the total number of ports + the number of solved modules – battery holders.
The Item Color (table L43) is determined by the last digit of serial number + batteries.

Use washing instructions based on the material, drying instructions based on the color, and use ironing and special instructions based on the item. But, prioritize the following rules from top to bottom:

If the color is Clouded Pearl ALWAYS use non-chlorine bleach.
If the item is made out of leather, or in the color Jade Cluster, it can’t go above 120°F. To be safe ALWAYS wash at 80°F.
If the item is a corset or the material is corduroy then use special instructions based on material.
If the material is wool or the color is Star Lemon Quartz ALWAYS dry with high heat.
If a letter of the clothing material matches a letter in your serial code, then the color takes over the special instructions.
BUT if there are exactly 4 batteries in 2 holders and a there is a lit BOB indicator, ignore all other rules. Bob did the work for you. Just throw in the coin. Thanks BOB.

Input the solution through putting The Washing Symbol top-left, The Drying top-right, Ironing on the top display and Special on the bottom display.

On the Subject of Probing

Not that kind of probing...

This module has six wires and two crocodile clips. Each wire carries three alternating currents (AKA 3-phase current), each phase a different frequency. The possible frequencies are 10Hz, 22Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz.

In order to probe the circuit you need to connect the red clip to a wire and the blue clip to a different wire. Common frequencies in both wires will cancel out and the display will show the remaining frequencies, in order from lowest to highest.

If the red and white wire contains a 50Hz current connect the red clip to the wire with the frequencies 10Hz, 22Hz and 60Hz, otherwise if the red and yellow wire does not contain a 10Hz current connect the red clip to the wire with the frequencies 22Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz, otherwise connect the red clip to the wire with the frequencies 10Hz, 22Hz and 50Hz.

If the yellow and red wire contains a 10Hz current connect the blue clip to the wire with the frequencies 10Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz otherwise connect the blue clip to the wire that contains the frequencies 10Hz, 22Hz and 50Hz.

Leave the clips connected for at least six seconds to defuse. Leaving the incorrect wires connected for more than six seconds will cause a strike.

NOTE: Be aware that each time a strike is gained the frequencies in each wire may change.

On the Subject of Caesar Cipher

Communication was dangerous back in the days. Can you figure out what the original message was?

Decipher the characters on the display with the help of Caesar’s tactics. There’s no delete button, so press those buttons carefully!

For example: if the offset is -2, D becomes B and L becomes J. The table below can be used to calculate the required offset. If the offset column contains an = sign, that value should be used, regardless of other rules that apply.

Condition	Offset
Serial number contains a vowel	-1
Number of batteries	+1 per battery
The last digit of the serial number is even	+1
Indicator with label CAR is present	+1
Parallel port and lit indicator with label NSA is present	=0

On the Subject of Resistors

“It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.”
― Leonardo da Vinci, on procrastination

The module contains 2 input pins (A and B), 2 resistors, and 2 output pins (C and D). Follow the rules to make the correct connections. To make a connection, click one pin and then another. Press CLEAR to remove all connections.

Take the first digit of the bomb's serial number (or 0 if there are no digits). The primary input is A if even, B if odd.
Take the last digit of the bomb's serial number (or 0 if there are no digits). The primary output is C if even, D if odd.
The target resistance in Ω is calculated as follows:
1. Take the first two digits of the bomb's serial number.
  e.g. 2E7X19 → 27, ZJ3MLN → 3, ABCDEF → 0
2. For each battery present on the bomb (up to a max of 6), multiply by 10.
Connect the primary input to the primary output, with the target resistance.

Note: all resistance values are checked to be within 5% accuracy.
If a lit FRK indicator is present, also connect the primary input to the other (secondary) output, with the target resistance.

Note: this means C and D will also be connected with some non-infinite resistance. This value is not checked as part of your solution, and so can be anything.
If step 5 did not apply and at least 1 D cell battery is present, connect the secondary input to the secondary output, with 0Ω resistance.
Press CHECK when finished to check the solution. All input/output pairs not mentioned should be disconnected.

Consult the following page to learn how to produce the target resistance.

Producing resistance

An input and output can be connected via one of five paths.

No resistors, 0Ω of resistance.
Top resistor.
Bottom resistor.
Both resistors in serial.
i.e. input → top resistor → bottom resistor → output
The combined resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.
Both resistors in parallel.
i.e. input → top resistor, input → bottom resistor,
top resistor → output, bottom resistor → output
The combined resistance is less than either of the individual resistances.

For the curious... it's: 1 / (1 / (top resistance) + 1 / (bottom resistance))
Don't worry, this won't be on the test!

Reading resistors

Each resistor has a sequence of three colored bands, indicating a two-digit number and a multiplier. A fourth band indicates a tolerance value (not used). The fourth band is separated by a gap from the first three. Resistors can be rotated; take care to read the bands in the correct direction.

Color	First Band	Second Band	Multiplier
Black	0	0	1Ω
Brown	1	1	10Ω
Red	2	2	100Ω
Orange	3	3	1,000Ω
Yellow	4	4	10,000Ω
Green	5	5	100,000Ω
Blue	6	6	1,000,000Ω
Violet	7	7	10,000,000Ω
Gray	8	8	—
White	9	9	—
Gold	—	—	0.1Ω
Silver	—	—	0.01Ω

For example, Green Violet Yellow indicates 57 × 10,000Ω = 570,000Ω.

On the Subject of Skewed Slots

This has to be illegal somehow...

See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.
See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
See Appendix C for port identification reference.
See Appendix Math for a mathmatical terms reference.

A skewed slots module contains 3 numeric displays and a submit button on it.
Based on the current display on the slots, submit the correct digits based on following sections of rules. Each section is labeled with which slot it applies to.
After all the rules have been applied, if the number is below 0, add 10. Otherwise if the number is above 9, subtract 10. Repeat this until the number is between 0-9.
If you submit the incorrect digits, the slots will automatically spin and a strike will be assigned.

NOTE: The original digit is the digit before it was modified at all.

All Slots
Replace any 2 with a 5 and any 7 with a 0.
For every lit indicator add 1 to the number and subtract 1 for every unlit indicator.
If the number is a multiple of 3, add 4 to it.
Otherwise, if the number is greater than 7, multiply it by 2.
Otherwise, if the number is less than 3 and it's an even number, divide it by 2.
Otherwise, if there is an RCA or a PS/2 port on the bomb, skip the rest of the rules in this section.
Otherwise, take the original digit and add the number of batteries on the bomb.

1st Slot
If the number is even and greater than 5, divide it by two.
Otherwise, if the number is prime, add the rightmost number in the serial number.
Otherwise, if there is a parallel port on the bomb, multiply it by -1.
Otherwise, if the original digit to the right is odd, leave this number unchanged.
Otherwise, subtract 2 from it.

2nd Slot
If there is a unlit BOB indicator, leave this number unchanged.
Otherwise, if the number is 0, add the original digit from the 1st display.
Otherwise, if the number is in the Fibonacci sequence, add the next number from the Fibonacci sequence based on the first occurrence of the number.
Otherwise, if the number is greater than or equal to 7, add 4.
Otherwise, multiply it by 3.

3rd Slot
If there is a serial port on the bomb, add the largest number from the serial number.
Otherwise, if the original digit is the same as any of the other original digits, leave this number unchanged.
Otherwise, if the number is greater than or equal to 5, add up all the individual digits in the binary form of the original digit for the new number.
Otherwise, add 1 to the number.

On the Subject of Microcontrollers

It’s called “micro”-controller, yet this thing in there is pretty big. Probably because it can cause a pretty big explosion...

Use the controller’s imprinted type and its size to determine its pin configuration with the diagrams below.
The white mark on the controller indicates where the pin with the number 1 is located. The other pins are in ascending order on the side with the number 1 and then continued backwards on the other side.
Using the table below determine the correct color code for each connected element.
For each pin choose the correct element by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons and confirming your input with the OK button (the next pin will be selected automatically).

Pin Configurations

Strike (STRK) Controller:

Diode (LEDS) Controller:

Countdown (CNTD) Controller:

Explosion (EXPL) Controller:

Component Color Codes

	Input Voltage (VCC)	Analog Input (AIN)	Digital Input (DIN)	Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)	Reset (RST)
If the last digit of the controller's serial number is 1 or 4	Yellow	Magenta	Green	Blue	Red
Otherwise, if there is a lit indicator "SIG" or a RJ-45 port	Yellow	Red	Magenta	Green	Blue
Otherwise, if the bomb's serial number contains C, L, R, X, 1 or 8	Red	Magenta	Green	Blue	Yellow
Otherwise, if the second numerical digit of the controller's serial number matches the number of batteries on the bomb	Red	Blue	Yellow	Green	Magenta
Otherwise	Green	Red	Yellow	Blue	Magenta

Note: Ground (GND) is always coded with white.

On the Subject of Perspective Pegs

Everything is different from the perspective of another.

Step 1: Key Colour

Calculate the alphabetic position difference of the first two letters in the serial number. (A = 1, B = 2, etc.)
Regard the difference between alphabetic positions to be positive.
If there are four or more letters in the serial number, add the position difference of the third and fourth letters.
Look up this number on the Key Colour table to obtain a colour.

Step 2: Sequence Permutation

Starting from the peg with three or more sides in this colour and proceeding clockwise, read the outermost facing colour of each peg to form a colour sequence of length five; this is the current sequence.
Determine which column of the Sequence Permutation table to use.
For each entry in the relevant column:
- If the prime sequence is present in the current sequence, replace the first occurrence with the alternate sequence to form the new current sequence.
- Otherwise, if the reverse of the prime sequence is present, replace the last occurrence with the reverse of the alternate sequence.
Finally, take the first three colours in the current sequence to obtain the key sequence.

Step 3: Key Sequence

Angle the bomb with one peg close to you and in the centre of your view, then observe the five colours facing you in a line; this is the candidate sequence for this view.
The key sequence is present in one of the five candidate sequences exactly once, either forward or reverse.
Locate the candidate sequence that contains the key sequence, and press the three pegs representing the key sequence in order.
If the key sequence is the same backwards as it is forwards, you can press the three pegs in either forward or reverse order.

Table 1.1 Key Colour

Regard the difference between alphabetic positions to be positive.

Take the least significant digit of the number, and look up in the table:

0	3	Red	5	8	Blue
4	9	Yellow	2	6	Purple
1	7	Green

Table 1.2 Sequence Permutation

R – Red, Y – Yellow, G – Green, B – Blue, P – Purple

On the Subject of Murder

This module is powered by the restless soul of a murder victim. The only way to disarm it is to solve the case so the victim can pass peacefully to the afterlife.

See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.
See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
See Appendix C for port identification reference.

Select the murderer, murder weapon, and location on the display panels and press "ACCUSE" to disarm the module.
The module displays one location in red - this is the room in which the body was found. It is not necessarily the room in which the crime occurred.
The table below shows the location of the suspects and potential weapons at the time of the murder. The murderer must have been in the same location as the murder weapon at this time.
Some suspects and potential weapons have already been eliminated from the investigation - these are not listed on the module.

Suspects:

If there is a lit indicator with label TRN, use row 5 to locate the suspects.
Otherwise, if the body was found in the Dining Room, use row 7.
Otherwise, if the bomb has 2 or more Stereo RCA ports, use row 8.
Otherwise, if there are no D batteries on the bomb, use row 2.
Otherwise, if the body was found in the Study, use row 4.
Otherwise, if there are 5 or more batteries, use row 9.
Otherwise, if there is an unlit indicator with label FRQ, use row 1.
Otherwise, if the body was found in the Conservatory, use row 3.
Otherwise, the suspects can be located using row 6.

Weapons:

If the body was found in the Lounge, use row 3 to locate the weapons.
Otherwise, if there are 5 or more batteries, use row 1.
Otherwise, if the bomb has a serial port, use row 9.
Otherwise, if the body was found in the Billiard Room, use row 4.
Otherwise, if there are no batteries on the bomb, use row 6.
Otherwise, if there are no lit indicators on the bomb, use row 5.
Otherwise, if the body was found in the Hall, use row 7.
Otherwise, if the bomb has 2 or more Stereo RCA ports, use row 2.
Otherwise, the weapons can be located using row 8.

On the Subject of the Gamepad

Oh, the layout of the buttons on this thing takes me back to my childhood! Except I didn't expect to see that on a time bomb, even. Play time is over, I suppose.

See Appendix Math: Mathematical Concepts Reference for more information.

Two 2-digit numbers will appear on the top LCD display. The bottom has eight keys: the input keys (◀▲▼▶AB), Return, and Backspace.
Determine the correct command, made of two subcommands, to input, depending on the properties of the two numbers. Use the first match.
The two numbers are notated x and y. Individual digits are notated as abcd. A number followed by n means a multiple of that number.

Global Overrides	If x = 11n, switch the first keypress with the second, and the fifth with the seventh. If a = 1 + d, switch the third and fourth keypresses, as well as the sixth and eighth. If x or y is a highly composite number, switch the order of the subcommands. If x and y are perfect squares, flip the entire sequence.

On the Subject of Shape Shift

The concept is simple: change a shape into another shape according to certain rules. The rules, however, are not so simple.

Starting at the shape displayed on the module, follow the flowchart and submit the first shape which is visited twice.

On the Subject of Tic Tac Toe

All those years of getting ties in Tic Tac Toe might finally pay off.

To defuse this module, all nine buttons must be filled with “X”s and “O”s.

The display labeled “Up Next:” shows either an “X” or an “O”. The keypad displays some numbers between 1 and 9 and some already placed “X”s and “O”s. After placing a piece, the displays go blank.

The numbers in the chart on the following page indicate the location on the keypad where each piece should be placed.

Use the rules below to determine the starting row:

If the last digit of the serial number is even, the starting row is either 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. Otherwise, the starting row is either 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If there is at least one parallel port, use the even values. Otherwise, use the odd values.
If there are more unlit indicators than lit indicators, the starting row is the lowest remaining value from rule 2.
If there are more lit indicators than unlit indicators, the starting row is the highest value remaining from rule 2.
If there are an equal number of lit and unlit indicators, the starting row is the average of the remaining values from rule 2.

In the chart, determine the appropriate placement column based on the relative number of “X”s and “O”s already on the board. Begin at the starting row and move down your selected column until you reach a number that corresponds to an unfilled spot on the keypad. If you pass row 9, continue at row 1.

If placing the piece in this location would result in a tic-tac-toe, you MUST press “PASS” and continue in the same row; otherwise, place the piece by pressing the location on the keypad and then move to the next row in the chart.

Two consecutive passes will result in a piece being placed (and displayed) in one of the available spaces. This may result in a tic-tac-toe but will not incur a strike. In such a case, move to the next row in the chart.

Upon a strike, the row resets to the initial starting row and the keypad displays the placed pieces and remaining numbers. All previous placements remain until the module is defused.

Table 1

ROW	“X”	“O”	“X”	“O”	“X”	“O”

On the Subject of Follow the Leader

Child’s play. Just follow the leader. Only if you fail to follow, the penalty is somewhat more explosive.

This module contains 8-12 wires connecting numerically labeled plugs in a loop. Each wire leads from one plug to another plug in clockwise order. In this manual, wires are numbered according to the plug they lead from; a wire from plug 1 to plug 2 is considered to be “wire 1”, while a wire from plug 12 to plug 1 is considered to be “wire 12”.

Progress through the module by first cutting the starting wire, then cutting each applicable wire in the order of the sequence. Each wire will need to be either cut or left uncut based on the state of the previous wire(s) in the sequence. Avoid cutting wires out of sequence.

Determining the starting wire

Follow the first rule below that applies:

If an RJ-45 port is present and there is a wire leading from plug 4 directly to plug 5, begin at that wire.
Otherwise, if there is a wire that begins at a plug matching the number of batteries on the bomb, begin with that wire.
Otherwise, if there is a wire that begins at a plug matching the first numeral of the serial number, begin at that wire.
Otherwise, if there is a lit indicator with the label CLR, disregard all further instructions and cut all wires present on this module in descending numerical order.
If none of the above apply, the starting wire is the wire earliest in numerical order.

Cutting wires

Always cut the wire at the starting plug.Then progress to the next wire.
From this position, cut the wires as directed by the steps in the following table. The starting step corresponds to the first letter in the serial number. If the serial number contains no letters, begin at step A.
When progressing to the next wire, also progress to the next step alphabetically in the table to determine whether to cut the wire.
“Previous wire(s)” may refer to wires beyond the original starting position in the sequence.
If the wire at the starting plug is red, green or white, progress through the steps in reverse alphabetical order instead.

Step	Cut this wire if:
A or N	The previous wire is not yellow or blue or green.
B or O	The previous wire leads to an even numbered plug.
C or P	The previous wire should be cut.
D or Q	The previous wire is red or blue or black.
E or R	Two of the previous three wires share a color.
F or S	Exactly one of the previous two wires is the same color as this wire.
G or T	The previous wire is yellow or white or green.
H or U	The previous wire should not be cut.
I or V	The previous wire skips a plug.
J or W	The previous wire is not white or black or red.
K or X	The previous two wires are different colors.
L or Y	The previous wire does not lead to a position labeled 6 or less.
M or Z	Exactly one or neither of the previous two wires are white or black.

On the Subject of The Bulb

How many bomb defusal experts does it take to screw in a light bulb?

This module has two buttons labeled I and O and a light bulb, which is either see-through (translucent) or opaque, and is one of six colors: blue, green, purple, red, white or yellow.

If you incur a strike because you pushed a wrong button, ignore it and continue. If you incur a strike because you unscrewed or screwed in the bulb at an incorrect time, you must undo that before continuing.

Begin at Step 1 below.

While the bulb is screwed in, a long press on either button will reset the module back to Step 1. Attempting this while the bulb is out will incur a strike.

Step 1	If the light is on and the bulb is see-through, press I and go to Step 2. If the light is on and the bulb is opaque, press O and go to Step 3. Otherwise, unscrew the bulb and go to Step 4.
Step 2	If the bulb is red, press I, then unscrew it and go to Step 5. If the bulb is white, press O, then unscrew it and go to Step 6. Otherwise, unscrew the bulb and go to Step 7.
Step 3	If the bulb is green, press I, then unscrew it and go to Step 6. If the bulb is purple, press O, then unscrew it and go to Step 5. Otherwise, unscrew the bulb and go to Step 8.
Step 4	If the bomb has any of the following indicators: CAR, IND, MSA or SND, press I and go to Step 9. Otherwise, press O and go to Step 10.
Step 5	If the light went off at Step 1, press the same button again, then screw the bulb back in. Otherwise, press the button you haven’t yet pressed, then screw the bulb back in.
Step 6	If the bulb went off when you pressed I, press the button that you pressed in Step 1, then screw the bulb back in. Otherwise, press the button that you pressed in Step 2 or 3, then screw the bulb back in.

Step 7	If the bulb is green, press I, remember SIG and go to Step 11. If the bulb is purple, press I, then screw it back in and go to Step 12. If the bulb is blue, press O, remember CLR and go to Step 11. Otherwise, press O, then screw the bulb back in and go to Step 13.
Step 8	If the bulb is white, press I, remember FRQ and go to Step 11. If the bulb is red, press I, then screw it back in and go to Step 13. If the bulb is yellow, press O, remember FRK and go to Step 11. Otherwise, press O, then screw the bulb back in and go to Step 12.
Step 9	If the bulb is blue, press I and go to Step 14. If the bulb is green, press I, then screw it back in and go to Step 12. If the bulb is yellow, press O and go to Step 15. If the bulb is white, press O, then screw it back in and go to Step 13. If the bulb is purple, screw it back in, then press I and go to Step 12. Otherwise, screw the bulb back in, then press O and go to Step 13.
Step 10	If the bulb is purple, press I and go to Step 14. If the bulb is red, press I, then screw it back in and go to Step 13. If the bulb is blue, press O and go to Step 15. If the bulb is yellow, press O, then screw it back in and go to Step 12. If the bulb is green, screw it back in, then press I and go to Step 13. Otherwise, screw the bulb back in, then press O and go to Step 12.
Step 11	If the bomb has the remembered indicator, press I, then screw the bulb back in. Otherwise, press O, then screw the bulb back in.
Step 12	If the light is now on, press I. Otherwise, press O.
Step 13	If the light is now on, press O. Otherwise, press I.
Step 14	If the bulb is opaque, press I, then screw the bulb back in. Otherwise, press O, then screw the bulb back in.
Step 15	If the bulb is see-through, press I, then screw the bulb back in. Otherwise, press O, then screw the bulb back in.
