On the Subject of The Phrase Maze
Continue going down until its BLANK. No, I meant LITERALLY BLANK. What do you mean WE JUST BLEW UP?
This module consists of a display with a phrase on it and four switches surrounding the display.
To solve this module the defuser must navigate through the maze on page two from the currently displayed phrase to the goal phrase. The goal phrase can be determined by following the instructions below. In the maze each phrase will be represented with a symbol. Refer to the table on page three and four to find the phrase each symbol represents.
Flipping a switch will move the defuser in this direction if there is not a wall, however the switches can only be flipped at certain times to prevent a strike. For each phrase in the table on page three and four, two values are given. If a switch is up, flip it when any digit of the bomb’s timer contains the left value. Otherwise, flip it when any digit of the bomb’s timer contains the right value.
Hitting a wall in the maze at any point will cause a strike.
Determining the Goal Phrase
- If there is a Crazy Talk module on the bomb, the goal phrase is the phrase displayed on that module.
- If there is more than one Crazy Talk module on the bomb, the goal phrase is the first displayed phrase on any Crazy Talk module in the maze from left to right, top to bottom.
- Otherwise, if there is a Regular Crazy Talk, Krazy Talk, or Placeholder Talk module on the bomb, the goal phrase is the first in the maze whose symbol is in the serial number from right to left, bottom to top.
- Otherwise, if the indicators on the bomb contain three or more letters in CRAZY, the goal phrase is the first in the maze whose values are in the serial number from bottom to top, left to right.
- If none of the phrases have their values in the serial number, the goal phrase is “NO REALLY.”
- Otherwise, if a needy module is on the bomb, the goal phrase is “HOLD ON CRAZY TALK WHILE I DO THIS NEEDY”.
- Otherwise, the goal phrase is the first in the maze which contains all letters in the serial number from top to bottom, right to left.
- If none of the phrases contain all letters in the serial number, the goal phrase is “STOP.”
Note that anytime you are told to find the first of something in the maze you start from the initially displayed phrase and loop around if necessary.
