On the Subject of Bob’s Parable
Listen, this whole thing would be so much easier on me if you just OBEYED!
Upon selecting the module, you will hear an voice tell you to press either the red or blue button. Press the black play button to rehear the voice. Disregard this injunction and press the opposite color button.
You will then hear a somewhat angrier voice to press a button. Based on the table below, decide whether to obey or disobey the instruction. This will give you a new color button. From that, press the opposite color button.
Upon disobeying, you will hear another instruction to press another button. Using the table below, decide whether to obey or disobey the instruction, and click that color button. This repeats up to three times, unless you should obey, in which case the module will solve immediately after pressing the correct button.
Note that in the table, [COLOR] can mean red or blue. Upon a strike, the module resets back to stage 1.
