On the Subject of Testing Wire Testing

Cut to optimised to test.

This module has a panel with 5 wires, a CONFIRM and DENY button, and 3 stage lights.

To disarm this module, cut each wire and depending on the wire colors, their order, and what happens when they are cut, CONFIRM or DENY the set of wires. Doing this successfully 3 times will disarm the module. If you press the wrong button it will strike and reset to stage 1.

Determining Validity:

For each wire, cross-reference its color and behaviour when cut to find its validity.

Key of Validity:

Refer to the table below to determine a wire’s validity. If at any point there are at least two invalid wires, press DENY. Otherwise, press CONFIRM.

Letter	VALID if...
A	There are at least 3 wires with red coloring.
B	This is NOT the second stage or the second wire.
C	The SN has any of the letters AEHLMPS.
D	ALWAYS VALID
E	If the wire below this one, looping around, does not have red coloring.
F	If this is Wire#3, or its position (1-5) shares a number in the SN.
G	There is at most one pressed in wire.
H	If the second SN character is a number, the fourth SN character is a letter between G-Z. If the second SN character is a letter, there is not a 4 in the SN.
I	There are less than three strikes.
J	There is a DVI-D port.
K	NEVER VALID
