NO! NO! NO! It's booby-trapped! Cut the BLUE one!!

[Bergholt Stuttley Johnson]

Based on the history of "cut the wire" on tv and film the obvious answer is .... ANY as the bomb never goes off! (note do not try and cut the wire until the timer shows less than 10 seconds as this is liable to detonate the bomb)

[Dalek Dave]

Don't cut the wire, put the bomb in a microwave and roast the electronics!

I googled it, and found A patent description for a wire cutter that is operated with an explosive charge[^]. Now that is one tool I don't particularly want in my tool box. "Honey, can you put a new plug on the hoover as I ripped it off again." "No problem, just let me get the explosives."

First off, calm down. Second, what you're looking at, isn't actually an "explosive device", it's called a Computer Power Supply ... :rolleyes:

Unless its a sony - then explosive device may be an apt description

:doh: I stand corrected! :-D

Pour liquid nitrogen over it all, coating well, and then just cut all the wires.

Hand the cutters to someone else, walk behind a wall and use a radio to tell *them* to cut the grounding wire from the battery to the timer circuit. Then put your fingers in your ears and count to ten slowly...

Wires of all the same color would sure shorten some movies.

A dogged, arrogant belief in self and the childlike idealism that comes with not knowing my limits. This is my greatest blessing, my priceless attribute.

[Richard Jones]

Agreed. I'd just put 15 red wires, with 15 batteries, 3 displays with different times. Have fun! :-D

That of course is assuming the bomb can fit in the microwave :rolleyes: Could always just put a big magnet over the electronic parts.

But which kind of blue pill are you talking about?
