On the Subject of Wire Spaghetti

Looks like somebody’s first attempt at wiring up a PCB. At least they tried...

  • The module consists of up to 21 coloured wires.
  • All wires will be one of 15 colours: aqua, black, blue, brown, green, dark grey, dark red, light grey, light red, lime, orange, pink, purple, white, or yellow.
  • To disarm the module, cut all wires in the correct order.
  • Cut the wires in the order dictated in the chart on the next page (top to bottom), swapping the positions of the indicated wires for each true statement in the variable table below.
  • Always progress through the variable table from top to bottom. Wires can be swapped more than once.
  • If more than one wire of the same colour appears, they must all be cut before moving onto the next colour. Cutting an incorrect wire will cause a strike.
