Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Connection Device

On the Subject of the Connection Device

And before you ask, no. You can’t play video games on this device...

This module consists of a screen with 14 keys (7 numbered, 7 lettered), a submit button and a power button. In order to solve this module, activate the Connection Device, open the correct app and submit a 6-character code at the correct time. (And be careful: The only way to clear your message is by submitting.)

  • Turn the device on by pressing the Power button (seems logical).
  • Use the first app whose use condition applies.
  • Enter a code that satisfies the code constraints for that app.
    • Additionally, every code must contain the first letter of the bomb’s serial.
  • Submit the code at a time that satisfies the app’s timing constraints.

WhatsApp

  • Use condition: Use if the device’s serial contains a letter in “WhatsApp” and the 2 digits on the device’s serial add up to a number greater than 8.

  • Code constraints:

    • The first character must be an odd number.
    • The last character must be an even number.
    • The code must contain the letters for the first port present on the bomb and in the list on the right.
  • Timing constraints: Send when the two seconds digits on the bomb’s countdown timer add up to the first digit of the bomb’s serial number.

Discord

  • Use condition: Use if both the device’s serial number and the bomb’s serial number contain a letter in “Discord”.

  • Code constraints:

    • The first character must be a number smaller than 5.
    • The code must contain the letters for the first indicator present on the bomb and in the list on the right.
    • The code can’t contain duplicate characters, except if the indicator code is BOB or NAN.
  • Timing constraints: Send when the two seconds digits on the bomb’s countdown timer add up to the last digit of the bomb’s serial number.

  • None (NAN)

Skype

  • Use condition: Use if neither of the other two apps apply.

  • Code constraints:

    • The first character must be a letter which has an even position in the alphabet.
    • The last character must be a digit that is 5 or higher.
    • The code must contain the letters for the first set of batteries present on the bomb and in the list on the right.
    • Only one character in the code may be repeated.
  • Timing constraints: Send when the two seconds digits of the bomb’s countdown timer add up to the first digit of the bomb’s serial number minus the last digit. (If this results in a negative number, add 10.)
