well I got it..just dont really know how. Is there really a way to figure each one out or what? I just kept hitting switches and stuff and got it. At the end I did the math, got the right answer and still guessed at red or black. Ho would you know from the answer which one to cut (red or black)

The red or black was the easiest...


Spoiler






Dont read







last warning






Multiply out the number next to the hex numers at the top.

One is hex code for black the other for red....if you multiply out the numbers you get the correct answer and then select that color.


The previous step I figured was just adding and subtracting but I had enough time and was lazy I just kept clicking until it opened.

Because the first one is the numerical number or "hex" for red. and the second is the numerical number or "hex" for black. So if you did the equation next to that number and came up with the answer that was to the right. Then that was the color to cut.


Edited to add:
Ahh you beat me to it, I took the time to figure out the previous puzzle, it was rather simple. Hint flip the top left switch, look at the sum then turn it off. Click on the next one to the right, look at the sum and turn it off. Do the same for the third. By now you see the pattern and now have a numerical value for each switch.

Got it on the 4th try. I got one step further each time. At the end I remembered the movie Lethal Weapon where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover had to choose to cut either the red or black wire...I cut the right one.

Cool game, too bad the spoiler was given here.
Brings back "Tex Murphy" memories.

Yea but how many of us have nipple rings, work at staples, and blew the front end of our car up by skidding into a concrete block in a parking lot.

okay i went through it with about a minute to spare, but am to stupid to understand the switches. The first 2 parts were easy, but switches, i just kept clicking on and it came up correct, but don't know why. little hint please.

I understand the sequence of numbers in the swithes with the doubling and all, but what end result am i looking for.

I kept looking at the women on the left, thinking there is no way they are from here. I may have been distracted.

The switches go like this.

switch one 1
switch two 2
switch three 4
switch four 8
switch five 16
switch six 32
switch seven 64

see the pattern they just double every switch over then you figure out which switches to push to get your total.

It took me 2 times to figure this crap out then I come back here to find all the answers posted.
