Diffuse the bomb NOW!

no this one is pretty easy, in less than five minute any people who are a little computer literate can probably solve it.
(i took 7 minutes)
(15 min is far too much time)

Shoot, took me 3 tries and a hint.

Maybe I'm stupid.

well apart from the Blac/red thing at the end, the other things are quiet logic
the first thing is like mastermind
the second one is based on a japanese game (anyone having taken ANA would have seen more difficult Sudoku)
the third one is the easy: "how do you count up to 31 on one hand?"

the game in itself isn't that hard, all you have to know is what is the origin of the puzzle.

Seven minutes, but it would have been less if I had used a calculator for the multiplication puzzle

Quite a fun puzzle.

The black/red puzzle is perfectly logical and can be solved with 100% accuracy. The instruction are written on the back wall of the box, just finish the calcs and match the hex value to the wire colour.

7 mins (countdown clock reached 8 mins). I lost time in the second stage figuring out how to move the fucking 'missing keys' into position (1 min). All the while, listening to Madonna's 'La Isla Bonita' no less.

without Google i'd not have learned that was hex value of colour

Not a bad brainbender, but it only took five minutes to solve. I outsmarted myself on the fourth one for a while until I realized that the answer was staring me in the face, heh.

5 minutes.

Quite easy.

Sort of pondered on the last one (not very famliar with color codes).

First, the fact that the intro is so fucking long sucks: I don't need to watch some drama play out, just tell me what to fucking do.

Second, I'm stuck on the third stage. I think I know what I need to do, it just doesn't fucking work...

The first one I just kept doing until it worked, the second was almost braindead easy. But I don't know anything about computer coding shit...

The one with the 16 switches ? It's binary. Just add up to 1111.

I know it's binary, and the binary for 1111 is 10001010111, but I can't enter it because it's 15 digits, not 16.

Nevermind, I got through it by the seat of my pants. Got killed at the wire when I made a guess based on crappy assumption.

EDIT: Solved in five minutes on third try.

Tried it, got bored, what's stopping you from putting it under your desk and making a run for it? I know he says he's watching you, but the bomb can't be that powerful.

Got it on the 2nd try. I was stuck on puzzle two the first time, then realized the obvious answer.

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2005-10-21 04:36pm

Got stuck the first time around, but the hints that it was all math based made it ridiculously simple. Though admittedly everything except the keypad and the wires were solvable through mostly guesswork.

The counter was at close to 6:00 when I finished it on my first try. Without my calculator, I would have finished closer to 4:00. You need to know jack shit about binary or hex anything to solve, you only need math and logic. Not incredibly hard, I liked it a lot.

The last part, I just did the math operation they asked for. Since the top number matched the "cut this" number I guessed it was the red wire since it was the one on top. Had it been the bottom number, I would have cut the black wire. As for the part with the switches, every switch is a power of 2. From 2^0 to 2^11

5 minutes, first try. Not that hard... No calculator too ;P

Finished close to 9 minutes

Got in under five. Didn't know the values matched up to hex color values in the last one, but where the hooked up to the bomb, red was on top, black on bottom, and since the right number was on top, I cut it
