BOMBANANA! Cable Module: Mute Manual vs Blind Cut
Cut the single correct cable on the Cable/Wire module without exploding. Mute Monkey looks it up in the in-game manual; Blind Monkey is the only one who can cut. The cut is irreversible, so the info chain must finish before anyone touches a wire.
The chain, in one line: Deaf calls module name + position + cable count + colors + LED. Mute finds the manual row and gestures a wire number. Deaf speaks it. Blind repeats it, waits for confirm, cuts once. Players keep failing by reversing that order or cutting before Mute finishes the lookup.
1Deaf: Lock the Facts First
-
1
Say it in this order every time
"Wires, [location]. [3 or 4] cables. Left to right: [color], [color], [color]... LED is [color]. Waiting."
-
2
Count cables that are actually there, not empty slots
Empty slots change the table row. "Four slots, three cables" means Mute uses the three-cable row.
-
3
Left to right is always from Blind's perspective
Blind's hands are on the bomb. Agree on this before the timer starts - if anyone says "my left," stop and reset.
2Mute: Look Up the Manual Row
-
1
Open the Cable/Wires page in the in-game manual
Find the intersection of cable count and indicator light color. The cell says which cable to cut.
-
2
Gesture only the answer: fingers for the wire number
1 = leftmost from Blind's view. Do not gesture a color - Blind cannot use color.
-
3
Never guess and never reuse a rule from a previous bomb
Tables can differ between bombs. Have a pre-agreed "I don't know / wait" gesture.
3Blind: Repeat, Confirm, Cut Once
-
1
Count the cables by touch, left to right
-
2
Repeat the instruction back: "Cutting third from the left. Confirm?"
Wait until Deaf says confirmed. Do not cut on the first instruction without a repeat-back.
-
3
Cut once, then report the result
"Cut. Cleared" or "Still live" - the team needs the outcome before starting the next module.
Common Mistakes That Blow the Bomb
- Cutting while Mute is still flipping pages. The chain must finish before anyone touches a wire.
- Counting slots instead of cables. Empty slots are not cables.
- Reading colors from Deaf's screen orientation. Left and right belong to Blind's hands.
- Mute gesturing a color instead of a number. Blind can only count positions by feel.
- Blind cutting without a repeat-back. One extra sentence prevents most detonations.
- Starting a second module before this cut is confirmed. Finish the chain, then move on.
