Yes, it's bomb disposal time again. You're the expert sent in to diffuse a large thermo-nuclear device, planted by one of those helpful evil bombers who loves to give you a chance.
When you open up the cover you're faced with this: 6 white wires numbered 1 to 6 6 black wires numbered 1 to 6 6 pink wires numbered 1 to 6 6 blue wires numbered 1 to 6 6 orange wires numbered 1 to 6 6 red wires numbered 1 to 6 On the inside of the cover is a photo of magician David Blaine. Two lines of hints: One wire from each colour must be cut. Only the correct sequence of 6 cuts will diffuse the bomb. As you open the cover the clock starts ticking ...

Dr Chutney...
I think I know what you are getting at for the solution. The only problem I am having is I don't remember the colors being the same as what you state. So I will leave it up to someone smarter than I. Kevin

Is there something particular you need to know about Blaine to catch on here? 'Cause if there is, I'm diving out the nearst window & running for cover, because I know nothing about him,apartfrom the fact that he seems to be on a lot of magician's s#%t lists.

I'll just say you could be Blaine's biographer and you'd be no better off than someone seeing his name on that bomb cover for the first time.

A swelling mushroom cloud bursts over the city .....
No, just kidding. The villain twirls his moustache in sheer exasperation as our hero, no Fool he, safely diffuses the weapon. Thwarted, our evil genius plots his revenge. "Next time." he mutters. And next time, true to his nature, he will no doubt give us a fighting chance yet again.

Kaboom!!
Think of the colours written in a 6 x 6 grid. Highlight the third column. There's only one combination that will work.

Wow, was I way off. I was thinkning about the trick he did Color Deception. It used 6 colors, and I was cutting the wires in order of the way he did the trick.
Maybe I should have held off and posted that one to see how it would have gone. Kevin

Will you walk into my parlour? said the Spider to the Fly,
Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to show when you are there. Oh no, no, said the little Fly, to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair -can ne'er come down again. |

MRD Friday,
Think of each letter in Blaine's name as being a letter found in the colors. the B in Black... The L in blue... so on and so on Greg

To vertically line up the letters BLAINE?

6 wires numbered 1 to 6
If the colours are spelled out in a 6 x 6 grid the only possible combination is the one shown.
