Complicated Wires

(note: this is an unofficial simplification created by @jonnymrtn it is based off of the official Bomb Defusal Manual version 1 with the verification code: 241)

On the Subject of Complicated Wires (simplified) These wires aren't like the others. Some have stripes! That makes them completely different. Perhaps you had to refer to a ridiculously complicated venn diagram in order to figure out how to handle these wires. And perhaps you had a bad time. The good news is, @jonnymrtn has written up an actually concise set of instructions on what to do! Maybe too concise... (seriously, it is too concise. You should only refer to this if the original venn diagram from the original manual was giving you a really hard time.)

•

Look at each wire: there is an LED above the wire and a space for a "★" symbol below the wire.

•

For each wire/LED/symbol combination, use the simple table below to decide whether or not to cut the wire.

•

Each wire may be striped with multiple colors. White wire

Blue wire (or White & Blue striped wire)

Red wire (or White & Red striped wire)

Red & Blue striped wire

No LED on and no ★ symbol

Cut the wire

Cut the wire if the last digit of the serial number is even

Cut the wire if the last digit of the serial number is even

Cut the wire if the last digit of the serial number is even

LED is on only

Do not cut the wire

Cut the wire if Cut the wire if Cut the wire if the bomb has a the bomb has the last digit parallel port two or more of the serial batteries number is even

Has ★ symbol only

Cut the wire

Do not cut the wire

LED is on & has Cut the wire if Cut the wire if ★ symbol the bomb has the bomb has a two or more parallel port batteries

Cut the wire

Cut the wire if Do not cut the the bomb has wire two or more batteries

See Appendix B for battery identification reference. See Appendix C for port identification reference. Page 13b of 23

Cut the wire if the bomb has a parallel port
