On the Subject of The Green Wire

Hold on- this doesn’t look right.

Note: If the module does NOT have a green wire or has a shorter wire base on the left side, you are looking at the wrong manual.

A “The Green Wire” module has six plugs on each side of the module, each of which can have a wire in it. There are always 3–6 wires with only one being colored green.

ALL wires need to be cut to disarm the module.

Wire ordering begins with the top-most wire as first, the wire below that as second, and so on. Empty plug pairs are not counted in this order.

Plug ordering begins with the highest plugs on both sides as the first, the second-highest plugs on both sides as the second, and so on, going down.

If an instruction tells you to cut a wire that is not there or has already been cut, you may safely skip over it.

The green wire is in the first plug:
  • If only five of the plugs are filled, cut the wire directly above the empty plug.
  • Next, cut the wires in the 4th, 5th, and 6th plugs in that order.
  • Next, if any red or blue wires were cut in the process of the previous instruction, cut the green wire.
  • Finally, cut the remaining wires from bottom to top.
The green wire is in the second plug:
  • If the first and sixth plug both hold a black, white, or no wire, cut the closest wire below the green wire.
  • Next, if the third and fourth plug both hold a red, blue, or yellow wire, cut all other wires from top to bottom except those two.
  • Next, cut all blue wires in any order.
  • Finally, cut the wires in plugs using the following order: 5th, 6th, 2nd, 4th, 3rd, 1st.
The green wire is in the third plug:
  • Cut the second wire last, no matter the following instructions.
  • Next, cut any wires in even-numbered spots according to the wire ordering rule.
  • Next, cut any wires in even-numbered spots according to the plug ordering rule.
  • Finally, cut the remaining wires from top to bottom.
The green wire is in the fourth plug:
  • If the green wire is the lowest wire on the module, cut the closest wire above the green wire.
  • Next, if no yellow wires are present, cut every blue wire from top to bottom.
  • Next, cut every black or white wire in any order.
  • Finally, cut the remaining wires from bottom to top.
The green wire is in the fifth plug:
  • If all six plugs are filled, cut the third, then the sixth wire.
  • Next, cut any wires directly adjacent to plugs that hold black wires.
  • Next, if at this point there are two, three, or four uncut wires remaining, cut all remaining red wires in any order.
  • Finally, cut the remaining wires in even plugs from top to bottom, then cut the rest of the wires from bottom to top.
The green wire is in the sixth plug:
  • If the same amount of even-numbered plug pairs are filled as odd-numbered plug pairs, cut the green wire.
  • Next, if there are more than two of the same colored wire, cut all wires in prime numbered plugs, not counting plug 1.
  • However, if the above rule does not apply, cut all wires in composite numbered plugs, then if a wire is in plug 1, cut that wire afterward.
  • Finally, determine the order to cut any remaining wires by using the following list: Green, Black, Yellow, Red, Blue, White. If two or more of the remaining wires are the same color, they can be cut in any order as long as it follows the list provided.
