On the Subject of The Modkit

It is literally do or die.

See Appendix A for indicator identification reference.
See Appendix B for battery identification reference.
See Appendix C for port identification reference.

• The module consists of a display with module components, a "❖" button, a "◆" button, multiple smaller buttons and several containers for a wire panel, a symbol keypad, an alphanumeric keypad, a set of LEDs and a set of arrow buttons.
• In order to disarm the module, choose the right components for it and then solve it using the corresponding instructions in the pages below.
• Interacting with module components when the current component selection is not the correct one will cause a strike.
• Use the arrow buttons near the top display to cycle between the possible module components and press the "◆" button to toggle the corresponding component.
• If no component meets its condition to be in the module, press the "❖" button to disarm the module.

Refer to the table below to decide what components to include.† Use the column corresponding to the most common port type on the bomb. If multiple are tied (including the case where the bomb has no ports), use the leftmost tied column. Include a component if any of the characters in the corresponding table cell are in the serial number.

To avoid confusion, zeros in this manual are represented by the character Ø.

†A config exists to enforce specific components on The Modkit. If the components reveal themselves in any combination, treat it as if these are required to solve the module. The top display will say "DISABLED" in all caps to notify components being enforced.

*For each module given from the required components, the serial number in the next set of pages will be denoted as "SN".

To disarm the module, cut all necessary wires. If no wires meet their cut condition, instead press the "❖" button to disarm the module. Wire order is from top to bottom.

Locate in the wheel chart below the cell corresponding to the first digit of the serial number. Then, proceeding clockwise if the serial number has an even number of digits and counter-clockwise otherwise, cut the first wire if it is colored with any of the first three colors of the wheel. Then, use the following three colors in a similar fashion for the second wire, and so on.

On the Subject of Adjacent Symbols

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Symbols], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, press all symbols in the right order. Each symbol needs to be pressed only once.

Take the serial number of the bomb and replace each letter with its alphabet position, obtaining a sequence of numbers. Then, convert those numbers into directions using the direction chart below.

Using the sequence of directions, obtain a sequence of symbols by traveling the symbol map below, starting in the black square. The black square has no corresponding symbol. The grid loops around (up/down movements remain on the same columns and left/right movements remain on the same row).

Press the symbols on the module in the order they appear in the symbol sequence, then press each symbol that did not appear in the sequence in the order they appear on the module, from left to right.

One of the four colored buttons will flash. Press the "❖" to start the button flashing. The flashed sequence will lengthen by one each time you correctly enter a sequence until the module is disarmed.

For each flash in the sequence, use the table below to decide which button to press. Locate the cell with the color and arrow direction of the flashed button, then look at the cell pointed by it. If the total number of flashes in the sequence is odd, press the button with the same color of the arrow in the cell. Otherwise, press the button with the same arrow direction.

On the Subject of Runic Wires

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, Symbols], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, cut all wires, from 1 to 5, in this order. Before you cut any wire, activate all symbol keys that share a color with the wire. Pressing the symbol keys will toggle their active state from off to on and vice versa. Use the table below to match each symbol to its colors. A symbol can belong to more than 1 rune. Multi-colored wires consist of multiple rune types. Cutting a wire out of order or with the wrong runes will deactivate the runes to prevent destructive magic and result in a strike. Cutting the last wire incorrectly may delay the solve on this module.

On the Subject of Semaphore Keys

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Alphabet, LED], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, follow the first rule that applies. If multiple keys are valid, only one of them needs to be pressed:

1. If the serial number contains both the letter and the digit of one of the keys, press that key.
2. Otherwise, if one of the keys' number is prime and there is a green LED on, press that key.
3. Otherwise, if all three LEDs have the same color, press the key that has the letter that comes first alphabetically.
4. Otherwise, if the digital root of the sum of the serial number digits is one of the keys' numbers, press the key with that number.
5. Otherwise, if one of the keys' letter is a vowel and there is an yellow LED on, press that key.
6. Otherwise, if one of the keys' number is equal to the number of orange LEDs, press that key.
7. Otherwise, if two or more keys have consecutive letters, press the key with the consecutive letter that comes last alphabetically.
8. Otherwise, if one of the keys' letter is in the word "PRESS" and two or more LEDs have the same color, press that key.
9. Otherwise, press the middle key.

On the Subject of Alphanumeric Order

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Alphabet, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, press all alphanumeric keys in the right order. Press the "❖" button to start disarming the module. This will cause zero or more arrow buttons will light up. Use those arrows' colors and the Venn diagram below to decide in which order to press the keys.

On the Subject of Color Compass

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [LED, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, input three sequences of arrow buttons. After each successful input sequence, one LED will turn off. Use how many different LED colors and what LED colors are present to obtain each sequence from the table below. Each sequence symbol may refer to the color or direction of the arrows. A strike resets the current input sequence.

On the Subject of Sequence Cut

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, Symbols, Alphabet], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, cut all wires present in a specific color order. Identify the symbol present in the module with the lowest number in the table below to obtain an initial color order. Then, for each alphanumeric key, from left to right, perform a switch in the color order using the following rules:

• If the key's letter is in the serial number, its referring position is the same position of the first occurrence of that letter in the serial number, where position 1 is the left-most character of the serial number. Otherwise, it is equal to that letter's alphabet position (A1Z26), modulo 7, plus 1.
• If the key's digit is between 1 to 7 inclusive, it refers to that position in the color order. Otherwise, if the digit is Ø, it refers to the position equal to the position of the first digit in the serial number, where position 1 is the left-most character of the serial number. Otherwise, it refers to the last position of the color order, which is 7.
• Switch the position referred by the key's letter with the position referred by the key's number. If those positions are the same, no switch is made.

Once you obtain the final color order, cut the wires in the order provided. In the case of cutting multi-colored wires, only the earliest color in the resulting color order is considered; the other color in that wire can be ignored.

On the Subject of Power Grid

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, Alphabet, LED], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, cut all wires that can be cut. If no wires can be cut, press the "❖" button to disarm the module.

The diagram below represents the bomb's power grid. Each circle represents a power source. All power sources matching an LED on the module are emitting power. The others aren't. A live power supply is a sequence of wires that connects an emitting power source to the bomb passing through at least one character present in the alphanumeric keys.

All wires that DON'T belong to any live power supply can be cut. Any wires that belongs to at least one can't.

On the Subject of Cruel Wire Sequences

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, Alphabet, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

• Within this module there are several panels with wires on them, but only one panel is visible at a time. Switch to the next panel by using the down arrow and the previous panel by using the up arrow.
• Do not switch to the next panel until you are sure that you have cut all necessary wires on the current panel.
• Cut the wires as directed by the following table. Each table cell refers to the alphanumeric keys. Cut a wire if any of the cell characters is on the keys. If a wire is multiple colors, cut it if any of its colors in the table instructs you to. If a wire has none of the table colors, do not cut it.
• Wire occurrences are cumulative over all panels within the module.

On the Subject of Blinking Wires

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, LED, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

Press any arrow to start disarming the module. One of the LEDs will flicker. Use the up and down arrows to change the color of the flickering LED and the left and right arrows to change which LED flickers.

Use the table below to obtain the correct color for each LED. Then, cut the FIRST wire you were instructed to cut. DO NOT cut any wires until all LEDs have been correctly set. Read the table from top to bottom.

On the Subject of Key Score

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Symbols, Alphabet, LED], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, press all symbols and alphanumeric keys in ascending order of their score. In case of ties on any key, press those in any order before proceeding to the higher scored keys and after pressing the lower scored keys.

The score of each alphanumeric key is equal to the alphabet position of its letter (A1Z26) multiplied by its digit. The score of each symbol key is equal to the symbol value multiplied by the LED value in the same position. Both values can be obtained in the tables below.

Press the "❖" button to start disarming the module. The keys will display an LED sequence. Use the up and down arrows to cycle through the available sequences.

Each of the displayed sequences is one of the sequences in the grid below, except that one and only one of the keys has its LED opposite of what it should be. That key is a lying key. To disarm the module, press the only key that isn't a lying key.

Black rectangles represent off LEDs and white rectangles represent on LEDs. For ease of reading, the rectangles are enlargened.

On the Subject of Color Offset

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Symbols, LED, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

Each of the arrow buttons has associated to it an offset between 1 and 6. The same is true for the symbol keys.

When an arrow button is pressed, each LED will change to another color using the table below, going to the column corresponding with the sum of the pressed arrow's offset with the offset of the symbol in the same position of the LED, modulo 6.

To disarm the module, press the symbol key that has a different offset than the offset that symbol has in the table at the bottom of the page. Pressing a symbol key that has the same offset as another key will result in a strike.

The ❖ can be used to revert the LEDs back to the initial state. This initially requires Ø arrow presses after pressing the ❖ button, but if more resets are done on this module, more arrow presses before a ❖ press are required to reset the LEDs.

Offset	Symbols		Offset	Symbols

On the Subject of LED Directions

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Alphabet, LED, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, complete all three stages. Each stage corresponds to an alphanumeric key/LED pair, from left to right.

In each stage, follow the rules of the stage's LED color, then press the corresponding alphanumeric key to submit the input. A strike resets input.

On the Subject of The Third Wire

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, Symbols, Alphabet, LED], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, press the one correct key. Look at the colors of the third wire, then count the number of other wires that share a color with it and the number of LEDs that share a color with it.

Use the sum of the obtained values to find the target character in the table below. If that character is in one of the keys, press that key. Otherwise, find the character with the smallest Manhattan distance to the target character that is in one of the keys and press that key. If multiple characters are tied, choose any of them. The map does NOT wrap around.

(A Manhattan distance is defined as the sum of the horizontal and vertical distances between points on a grid.)

That is your starting position in the maze below. Your destination is the cell corresponding to the sum of all serial number digits, modulo 64. Use the arrow buttons to navigate the maze.

Walls on the maze represented by colored dotted lines can be transposed if an LED is lit with the same color of the wall.

On the Subject of Paranormal Wires

Note: If your module's components aren't exactly [Wires, Symbols, Alphabet, LED, Arrows], you are looking at the wrong section of this manual!

To disarm the module, cut all wires. Any wire is safe to cut first. After each cut wire, something will change about another of the module's components. Follow the rule that applies to the most recent change to decide which wire to cut next. Rules consider only uncut wires. If a rule instructs you to cut a wire that does not exist, instead cut the topmost uncut wire.
