On the Subject of Calendars

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas... or is it Kwanzaa...? Day of the Dead?

• In this module, you have a somewhat broken calendar with months you can scroll through using the arrows to the right of the calendar.
• There will also be a skinny colored LED indicator at the top of the module that will be either red, green, blue, or yellow.
• As you scroll through the calendar, you will notice either a single day circled with a red circle or a group of days bracketed off with red brackets.
• Using your current local date*, the information on the module, and edgework, you must find the specific day in the specific month to then click in order to solve the module. Any clicks on an improper day will cause you to receive a strike.

Step 1:

First, use the LED color and your current local date* to find out which month your answer is in. Season boundaries are inclusive.

• Spring: March 22nd – June 21st
• Summer: June 22nd – September 21st
• Autumn: September 22nd – December 21st
• Winter: December 22nd – March 21st

Your Current Season		Spring			Summer			Autumn			Winter
Your Current Date*		1–10	11–20	21–31	1–10	11–20	21–31	1–10	11–20	21–31	1–10	11–20	21–31
LED COLOR	Green	Jan	Nov	Aug	Jun	Mar	Dec	Feb	Jul	Sep	May	Oct	Apr
	Yellow	Dec	Jun	Apr	Oct	May	Feb	Aug	Nov	Mar	Jul	Jan	Sep
	Red	Feb	Jul	Oct	Jan	Sep	Aug	Dec	Apr	Jul	Mar	Nov	Jun
	Blue	May	Mar	Sep	Apr	Jul	Nov	Jun	Oct	Jan	Dec	Aug	Feb

*Current local date refers to the date that the bomb was activated on.

Step 2:

Next, use the rightmost*** number of the serial number and the holiday selected in red on the module to figure which day of your previously selected month is the answer. The red mark indicates a holiday somewhere in the world; if you are unsure of the holiday marked off, refer to the Appendix of Holidays on the next page. Some of the answers this table contain are formatted as such: #/#. If this is the case, use the first number if your selected month has that many days. Otherwise, use the second number.

	Rightmost*** Number of the Serial #

**If the holiday is Groundhog Day, click any day in the correct month 3 times. You will get two fake strike sounds, but then the module will be solved.
