On the Subject of Complicated Wires

These wires aren’t like other wires. Fortunately, there’s a simple, easy to follow table to determine which need to be cut. It even has colors! Some lunatic could probably even turn this into an esoteric 4-way venn diagram.

  • 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 table below to decide whether or not to cut the wire.
