This module allows the defuser to gamble for a chance at a less difficult module. Afterwards, the defuser must cut all of the applicable wires.

The module starts with 6 wires behind a closed door.
Prior to revealing the wires, the defuser can press the gamble button for a chance to remove a wire from the module.
Each successful gamble will remove one wire and decrease the chances of another successful gamble.
The amount of wires behind the door will be displayed at the top-left, and the percentage chance of the next successful gamble will be displayed at the top-center.
The module also has a 4 digit ID number at the top-right, and two LEDs that will either be green, red, or off.
If the defuser successfully gambles to have 0 wires, the module will automatically be completed; however, the defuser can choose to proceed with any number of wires.
Once the defuser presses the reveal button, the wires will be revealed; if the defuser fails a gamble attempt at any point, the module will immediately reveal 8 wires.
Once the wires are revealed, the defuser should cut all applicable wires per the manual’s instructions then press the submit button to complete the module.
The bomb will receive a strike for any incorrect wires cut or when the module has been submitted prior to all necessary wires being cut.

Once the wires are revealed, proceed to the rules on the following pages to complete the module.

Wire 1: If the bomb has at least 3 batteries and the ID number is less than 5000, cut the wire.
Wire 2: If the module has at least one blue wire, cut the wire.
Wire 3: If the bomb has at least one D battery and at least one lit LED, cut the wire.
Wire 4: If the serial number has 4 letters, cut the wire.

Wire 1: If the third or fifth wire is either yellow or green, cut the wire.
Wire 2: If both of the LEDs are green or the top LED is red and the bottom LED is off, cut the wire.
Wire 3: If the last digit of the serial number is even, cut the wire.
Wire 4: If the bomb has more unlit indicators than lit indicators, cut the wire.
Wire 5: If the bomb has a Serial port but no red LEDs, cut the wire.

If both LEDs are red, the wires must be cut in reverse order (i.e. Wire 1 follows Wire 6’s rules, Wire 6 follows Wire 1’s rules, etc.).

Wire 1: If the third and fifth wires must be cut, cut the wire.
Wire 2: If the bomb has at least 2 batteries but no AA batteries, cut the wire.
Wire 3: If two of the wires are blue, cut the wire.
Wire 4: If the bomb has a lit indicator FRK or BOB or if the module has at least 3 purple wires, cut the wire.
Wire 5: If the bomb has a duplicate port or the ID number is even, cut the wire.
Wire 6: If the bomb has two different LEDs, cut the wire.

If the ID number starts with a 4 or 7, the wire rules shift down one wire (i.e. Wire 2 follows Wire 1’s rules); Wire 1 follows Wire 8’s rules.

Wire 1: If the defuser failed the second or third gamble attempt, cut the wire.
Wire 2: If the module has no yellow wires, cut the wire.
Wire 3: If the module has a green LED and a 3 in either the ID number or the serial number, cut the wire.
Wire 4: If the bomb has an unlit indicator SND or NSA or the top LED is off, cut the wire.
Wire 5: If the sum of the ID number’s digits is less than 17, cut the wire.
Wire 6: If at least 4 of the other wires must be cut, cut the wire.
Wire 7: If the bomb has a PS/2, Stereo RCA, or RJ-45 port, cut the wire.
Wire 8: If this wire is not red and there are no red LEDs, cut the wire.
