Da bomb!

Quite a cool little Flashgame challenge.

The Package

I'm proud to say I "cracked" it the first time. (with like 4 minutes left so see if you can beat that )

 

[old.Tohtori]

Cool one, got left with 8 minutes

 

[Spis]

did it with 7 minutes left.. Fun game

 

[Blackjack]

first 8-9 mins left didn't take a look at the watch right before doing the last puzzle.
It actually took me a while to realize what the first one was about

 

[Himse]

Spoiler

Usually the keypad is like this
123
456
789

you have to make sure none of those numbers in each row aren't in the same row on the keypad. e.g. you're given for example:

4*1
75*
*83
x*x

so the first number you will put in should be 2 in the second row because your given 1 and 3 in the other rows, and they cant be on the same row.

4*1
752
*83
x*x

next step is to put in a 9 in the top one because you already have 7 and 8 in other rows

491
752
*83
x*x

next put in 6 in the last row and then put in the 0 because its just one left over.

491
752
682

I did all the other ones except the crappy switch one first off... it took me so long coz I had to write it out. I knew exactly what the problem was and how to solve it though, just took my time the wire one was piss easy if you know hex codes for colours

Wrong I'm afraid.

Spoiler

Every row, horizontally and vertically, has to add up to 15

 

[cog]

I had no idea how the first bit worked, I just hit buttons til it opened the other parts seemed much easier 6 minutes left

 

[Spis]

Doc i think your keypad explanation is weird..

Spoiler

It just have to be 15 in each row if you put them together?

Ah, pirkel was faster

 

[DocWolfe]

Wrong I'm afraid.

lol well my method worked as well

 

[Pirkel]

lol well my method worked as well

Well that's weird cause your final solution is wrong afaik

Ah well you spent a lot of time on the explenation so a rep for you

 

[Thorwyn]

Wrong I'm afraid.

Spoiler

hm... I´ve solved it completely different. You´re just adding the missing buttons to the keypad. Now you need to enter 916312. 3, 6 and 9 are giving a "?", so you don´t know what they actually are. 1 and 2 are correct. So you basically just need to try the permutations of 3, 6 and 9 representing the "real" 3, 6 and 9. There are just 6 possible permutations, so it´s not that hard.

I had real trouble with that one with the 12 switches... then all of a sudden it hit me and then it was easy spent like 6 minutes on that alone

 

[cog]

Someone explain how the first bit works! I was completely mysitified on that I just randomly hit buttons til it opened

 

[DocWolfe]

Well that's weird cause your final solution is wrong afaik

Ah well you spent a lot of time on the explenation so a rep for you

the example I gave wasn't the same as the problem with the bomb. I'll show how my solution works below

Spoiler

2*4
75*
*18
x*x

- 3 goes in the second, so you dont have 1, 2 or 3 on the same row
- 6 goes on the third row, so you dont have 4, 5 or 6 on the same row
- 9 goes on the first row, so you dont have 7, 8 or 9 on the same row
- 0 goes last

think my brain just works differently

You just change the digits until you see a green light. The key is, that the green light isn´t the one below the actual digit. So the best thing to do is change one digit at a time until you´ll see a green light, then don´t touch that digit anymore. Rinse repeat.

Spoiler

basically its just clicking till you get a green light come up... the green light below the number doesn't necessarily correspond to that number though. so the 4th number might be right but the 1st light lights up because of it

Hooray so my tactic was in in fact completely justified!

 

[confused]

Wire colours??? i just cut black as it was closest to my mouse

 

[evzy]

Something just over 9 mins left - cool that

 

[old.Tohtori]

Colour code in the back of the box.

 

[CorNokZ]

FFS!!! I have 20seconds left when I get to the last part(Yes I am a gimp at this..)

Cut red?!
Cut black?!

I look at the didgets do a quick calculating

CUT RED!

















Boom

 

[Wild]

found the last bit easy but the telephone one was a bitch and ended up doing it just by guessing and got it right first time lol 9 mins 25 sec's
