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 |
