Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock

On the Subject of Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock

Anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, players
familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number
of outcomes. Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock was created by Internet pioneer
Sam Kass as an improvement on the classic game. All hail Sam Kass. Hail.

To disarm this module, determine the correct signs to press.

First, determine the decoy. If the five signs are arranged in

a regular pentagon, there is no decoy. Otherwise, the decoy is the one that is in
the middle of the arrangement or in the middle in a line of three (horizontal,
diagonal or vertical).

Next, go through the rows of the following table and determine the highest-
scoring sign in each row. Stop at the first row in which there’s no tie and the
highest-scoring sign is not the decoy. Then press the signs on the module that
beat this sign. If no row applies, press all signs except the decoy.

Which sign beats which? It’s very simple. Scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock.
Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors
decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes
rock. And, as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

through G. Logic gates are explained on the second page. The D
circuit has 8 inputs and 1 output. Determine all gate types
and find an input configuration that will set the final
output to on.

The first row of 8 LEDs tell you the input states. The second row of 4 LEDs
tell you the output states of gates A through D. Use the arrow buttons to
cycle through different input configurations, and determine the gate types
of the first four gates.
One gate type will occur twice on the circuit, all others once. In the
following rules, if the found gate type already occurs, and you already
found the duplicate, continue taking single steps until you find an
available gate type.
To find the gate type of gate E:
Start at the gate type of gate A in the diagram above.
Take the +n number of the gate type of gate B. Take that many steps
following the arrows.
To find the gate type of gate F:
Start at the gate type of gate E in the diagram above.
Take the +n number of the gate type of gate C. Take that many steps.
To find the gate type of gate G:
Start at the gate type of gate F in the diagram above.
Take the +n number of the gate type of gate D. Take that many steps.
Once you've established all gate types, cycle to an input configuration that
will set the final output to on. Press ‘CHECK’. If the output is off, you’ve
earned a strike.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Logic Gates

A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most logic

gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment, every input and every
output is either off (0, false) or on (1, true).

There are seven basic logic gates: NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR and XNOR. The NOT
gate has one input and one output. The others have two inputs and one output.
Inputs are normally drawn on the left, outputs on the right.

Has only one input. True becomes false, false becomes true. This gate
NOT
will not be used on the module directly.
When both inputs are true, the output is true. Otherwise, the output is
AND
false.
When either or both inputs are true, the output is true. When both
OR
inputs are false, the output is false.
(Exclusive-OR) If either, but not both, inputs are true, the output is
XOR
true. If neither or both inputs are true, the output is false.
It operates as an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. When both inputs are
NAND
true, the output is false. Otherwise, the output is true.
It operates as an OR gate followed by a NOT gate. When either or both
NOR inputs are true, the output is false. When both inputs are false, the
output is true.
(Exclusive-NOR) It operates as an XOR gate followed by a NOT gate. If
XNOR either, but not both, inputs are true, the output is false. If neither or
both inputs are true, the output is true.

A field of 36 letters will appear on the screen within the

module. Some of these letters will spell out words, which may
be spelled backwards and appear in any direction.

1. The chart below contains boxes with letters in the

corners. For each of the four letters in the corners of the display, find a
box on the chart that has that letter in the same corner.
2. Once all the relevant boxes have been located, use the last digit of the
serial number (even or odd) to determine the correct words to reference.
3. Only one of those words will appear on the display. Select the first and last
letter of the correct word to disarm the module. The bomb will record a
strike if any other words are selected.

On the Subject of Rubik’s Cube

Remember this impossible thing? Now it’s on a bomb. Have fun.

The bomb presents an unsolved Rubik’s cube. To disarm the

module, solve the Rubik’s cube. The following steps can be
used to determine the sequence of moves necessary to solve it.
If you get lost, press the Reset button to return the cube to
its original state.
Table 1
Start with Table 1 on the right. Observe the color
U L F Moves
of the U, L and F faces on the cube. Cycle each
corresponding column down a number of rows as 0 1 2 L’ F’
specified in Table 2. 3 4 5 D’ U’
Take the serial number, but eliminate the
6 7 8 U B’
character at the position corresponding to the
color of the D face (again, using Table 2). 9 A B F B
Look up each remaining character of the serial
C D E L D
number in the modified Table 1 to obtain two
moves per character, or a total of 10 moves. F G H R’ U
If the R face is red, green or blue, take both moves I J K U’ F
in order for each serial number character.
L M N B’ L’
Otherwise, take the first move for each serial
number character, then the second move for each O P Q B R
character. R S T D L
If the R face is red or yellow, change the first
U V W R D’
five moves to their opposites.
If the R face is green or white, reverse the order X Y Z F’ R’
of all the moves.
Finally, perform the resulting sequence of moves
Table 2
on the cube.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Combination Locks

On the Subject of Combination Locks

This looks like a combination lock. I thought I was disarming this bomb, not
unlocking it. [9]

See Appendix B of original manual for battery

identification reference. < > Reset
See Appendix Two Factor for two factor identification
reference.

Like a typical combination lock, this requires 3 numbers to unlock. Turn the
dial to the right to the first number. Then turn it to the left for the second
number. Finally, turn it to the right for the last number. That will unlock it!

If sequential numbers in the code are the same, perform a full revolution back to
the same number.

How to decode the combination:

Each number ranges from 0-19. Refer to the table to determine each number. Be
careful if there are two factor codes present because they change periodically!

First number:

1. Add the least significant digit of each two factor code together.
2. If there are no two factor codes, use the last digit of the serial number
plus the number of solved modules.
3. Add the number of batteries.
4. Subtract 20 if the result is over 19.

Second number:

1. Add the most significant digit of each two factor code together.
2. If there are no two factor codes, use the number of modules on the bomb
(including needy modules).
3. Add the number of solved modules.
4. Subtract 20 if the result is over 19.

Third number:

1. Add the first two numbers together.

2. Subtract 20 if the result is over 19.

On the Subject of Flag Identification

Only flag nerds and vexillologists will reach level Guinea-Bissau.

This needy module displays a flag on a flagpole and four

buttons beneath it.

When the needy module activates, a random flag will be

displayed. Each button will display the name of a country. To
disarm the needy, press the button that displays the name of the country that
corresponds to the shown flag. You have 45 seconds to disarm the module.

A strike will be incurred when a wrong button is pressed. The module will be
deactivated after a wrong button press.

Here is a website that shows all flags of 195 countries of the world with their
names.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Tetris

On the Subject of Tetris

Chances are you’ve already played many iterations of this game. At this point, how
can we be sure that Tetris isn’t some kind of meta-virus that propagates itself
through game developers and modders?

To deactivate the module, the player will be required to

place 3 Tetris pieces onto the game board.

Pieces can be rotated, moved left and right, and placed using the arrow
buttons.

Pieces will not fall with time, but instead will be placed as far down as
possible.

Completely filling a row will cause that row to be removed, and other rows
will fall down to fill the empty space.

If the board fills up, the player will be unable to place new blocks, and
will gain strikes.

Appendix Two Factor: Two Factor Identification

Reference
Digital displays can be found on sides of the bomb casing showing a serial
number.

The display shows up to a six digit number for two factor authentication. The
number rotates every 60 seconds for security. When the serial number changes,
three audio tones will sound.
