On the Subject of Getting your Wires Crossed

Wires are the arteries/veins of electronics, but so are everything else when a bomb goes off, so pay attention!

• For each stage, note down the color of the key wire, all attributes (color, label, position) of the correct button, the action performed and the flashed light if the button was held. Future stages will only ever query about this.
• Wire position and adjacency are evaluated using the numbers on the left, ignoring empty slots.

Stage 1

Number of wires
3	If the last wire is blue, the key wire is the first wire. Otherwise, if there are no black wires, the key wire is the last wire. Otherwise, if every wire color is unique, the key wire is the second wire. Otherwise, the key wire is the last wire.
4	If the color of the last wire is unique, the key wire is the 3rd wire. Otherwise, if the 2nd and last wire have the same color, the key wire is the 3rd wire. Otherwise, if the 3rd and last wire have the same color, the key wire is the 1st wire. Otherwise, if the 1st and last wire have the same color, the key wire is the 2nd wire.
5	If there is exactly one black wire and more than one blue wire, the key wire is the 3rd wire. Otherwise, if there are no blue or yellow wires, the key wire is the last wire. Otherwise, if the color of the first wire is unique, the key wire is the second wire. Otherwise, the key wire is the 4th wire.
6	If two or more wire colors occur exactly twice, the key wire is the 3rd wire. Otherwise, if the last wire and at least one other wire are yellow, the key wire is the 2nd wire. Otherwise, if there are no black wires, the key wire is the last wire. Otherwise, the key wire is the 5th wire.

Stage 2

Number of wires

Otherwise, if exactly one wire is white and it's not the first wire, the key wire is the one immediately above it. Otherwise, the key wire is the last wire.
5	If there is exactly one wire colored uniquely, the key wire is that wire. Otherwise, if there are exactly three wires of the same color, the key wire is the former of the remaining two. Otherwise, if any of the middle three wires is white, the key wire is the 2nd wire. Otherwise, the key wire is the 1st wire.
6	If the number of red wires and black wires add up to exactly three, the key wire is the bottommost wire whose color is not unique. Otherwise, if any wire color occurs three or more times, the key wire is the 1st wire. Otherwise, if exactly one wire is yellow and it's not the last wire, the key wire is immediately below that yellow wire. Otherwise, the key wire is the 4th wire.
