On the Subject of Simon Supports Tax Evasion

We couldn't agree on a module idea so we decided to commit fraud.

This module will display five colored ties surrounding a large square button.

There are going to be 3 flashes, multiple colors each, in a cycle. The cycle restarts each time the square button flashes.

Each flash has one descriptor associated with it. To find said descriptor, examine the flashing colors. The desired descriptor will be present in all of the flashing colors' lists (Table A) but will be absent from the non-flashing colors' lists.

To disarm the module, press the square button within one cycle on each positive descriptor's (Table B) flash. If no present descriptors are positive, press the button during the cycle restart.

Table A:

Tie Color Possible descriptors
Red Simon, Cruel, Boss, Translated
Blue Simon, Puzzle, Boss, Lookalike
Yellow Simon, Lookalike, Faulty, Cruel
Orange Time-Based, Cruel, Translated, Puzzle
Magenta Faulty, Lookalike, Boss, Puzzle
Green Simon, Time-Based, Lookalike, Cruel
Pink Translated, Faulty, Cruel, Time-Based
Lime Boss, Time-Based, Faulty, Translated
Cyan Lookalike, Translated, Puzzle, Faulty
White Simon, Boss, Puzzle, Time-Based

Table B:

Descriptor: Positive if:
Simon There are two or more batteries
Boss The number of lit indicators equals the number of unlit indicators.
Cruel There is an empty port plate.
Translated The serial number contains a vowel.
Lookalike There are no D batteries.
Faulty There is a parallel or serial port.
Puzzle The last serial number digit is even.
Time-Based The number of batteries is odd.
