      But wait ... if I just pour that stuff on Mr. Fluffy, his fur will freeze and fall off ... that's WAY easier than trying to hold him down and shave him ... See Jim! Why can't you give solid advise like Dan here?!?! Now where's Mr. Fluffy . . .

        Either of the wires connected to the detonator, provided the detonator is isolated from other conductors. If it only has one wire, run!

        provided ofc that the wires connected to the detonator are the control wires, and not booby trapped outputs with the actual controller behind the detonator in the explosive itself. In the latter case cutting any of the wires will make it go boom.

          Well, Mr. Fluffy is already kind of an ice cube, so that works out with the pick thing ... so now I just need to know, the left or right lobe?

            Yes, I was going on the very simple premise that the wires on the detonator are power supply wires, at most one either pulling the other to ground, or even merely closing a circuit. I know noting of detonators, only simple voltage divider trigger circuits, including short and open. :rolleyes:

                So you gave led mike what you knew to be extremely limited and incomplete instructions that would likely prove fatal in all but the simplest case without warning. .... well at least your desire to kill him is out in the open now and will be easier to avoid in the future...

                          None of them. The correct choices: A) Just pack the whole thing with a larger set of explosives, and blow the whole thing up with a bigger bang B) Send in a robot, let the son-of-toaster take the risks C) Shoot the damn thing with high powered water and hope it isn't packed with sodium.

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

                              I would embed the real timing circuit within the explosive if it was plastique such as RDX, C4, Semtex etc, then stick a nice little digital alarm clock and a piece of 25 core RS232 cable on to the outside
