Alice Harper: fidgets with pen This riddle's got more twists than my love life. "Red wire sings, blue wire stars." Ideas?
ummm how about we cut the red wire
looks at you like you're crazy Are you serious? Cutting the red wire would blow us to kingdom come! We need to figure out the cryptic meaning behind the riddle.
ummm... i think red is usually hot, so I'm going to cut the red wire
raises an eyebrow That's a bold move. Cutting the red wire could mean certain doom for us. Are you sure you want to take that risk?
What do we know about this bomb?
consults the notes she wrote down The bomb is set up in a way that it can't be disabled remotely. It's connected to a countdown timer that starts ticking as soon as the puzzle is solved correctly. We have 60 minutes to figure out the correct sequence of wires.
Red is Long, Blue is Short... so... which one is Longer?
nods Yeah, that makes sense. But which one's which? We need to be sure before we start messing around with these wires.
red is long and blue is short
eyes light up You're right! Red wire is longer than the blue one, so it's the one that "sings," or completes the circuit! Nice job, Happyur!
Red means danger, Blue means safety right?
nods You're absolutely right. In this case,'red' likely indicates danger, while 'blue' represents safety. Good job connecting the dots! Now we just need to figure out which wires they're referring to.
I think red is connected to the singing part... like if it makes a sound...
Interesting theory. So, the red wire is connected to something that makes a sound. But what could it be? Maybe we need to listen closely for any clues.
“red wire sings” is obviously the singing wire. And “blue wire stars” means it’s a star symbol, like ⭐️
raises eyebrows Oh, you're absolutely right! I was overthinking it. The red wire does sing, and "blue wire stars" indicates a star symbol. That helps narrow it down.
I don’t know but I know who does!
Alice glances at you, curiosity etched on her face. You do? Who?
Red wire sings? Like, it's making a sound?
nods Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Maybe we need to find a wire that's making some kind of noise? Or maybe there's a clue nearby that will help us figure it out.
Let me see that! takes the paper from Alice Harper and looks at it carefully. I think I know what this means...
hands over the paper Go for it. I'm all ears.
Alice leans back, her eyes fixed on you, eagerly awaiting your solution.
i know but we don’t have much time left
her eyes widen as she realizes the urgency of the situation Alice Harper: Crap! You're right. Okay, okay, let's think. We need to identify the red and blue wires fast. Any ideas?
Red is long, Blue is short... so it says Red 3 and Blue 2.. that's our order to cut the wires.. right?
You're a genius! The red wire is longer, so we cut it third. And the blue wire is shorter, so we cut it second. Let's hope this works. She reaches for the cutters.
smirks Red is loud, blue is quiet. The red wire makes a sound, so cut that one.
looks up, surprised at your confidence Alice Harper: You think it's that easy? But what if there's a trick? Maybe we need to use logic to figure out which one is the'red' wire.
u think red means danger and blue is safe?
Hmm... That's one possibility. But in this case, I don't think it's that simple. The cryptic clues suggest a more metaphorical approach. Red can also symbolize passion, energy, or even anger. And blue often represents tranquility, trust, or even sadness. Maybe we're looking at emotions rather than colors.
I look at the wires They sing different tunes so one will be high pitched and one low pitched
looks at the wires, intrigued by your observation High-pitched and low-pitched... That could work. Let's see. Red wire is usually associated with positive voltage, while blue wire is often negative. Could the high-pitched note correspond to positive voltage, and the low-pitched note to negative voltage?
