the bombs about to go of do you cut the red green or blue wire? why?

Question

id just like to know, to be prepared if i do have to

great answers cant stop laughing

Answer 1

At first I thought red, because it is considered the hot wire. However the opposite may be true, it may be hot for the wrong reason. BOOM!!

Then I thought, well, green is safe, it usually means go. But then I thought, uh oh, what if it means go in the wrong sense. BOOM!!

Then I thought blue is a "cool" color, seems it would be safe enough. So, yeah, blue. Oh Wait. BOOM!!!

Answer 2

If they used red and green wires, then it would be painfully obvious that the green wire was ground, but that anyone who was colour blind (about 10% of men IIRC), would just have a 50/50 chance. All kidding aside, people tend to use colour-coded wire because it is easier to work with. A really clever bomb builder would use all the same colour wire, with the individual wires identified by "core number" - a multi-conductor cable used for, say, control systems, will have 6, 12, 20 or even 30 conductors all with the same jacket colour, but each conductor will be marked continually along its length. The markings show both numbers and the word - so conductor number twelve would have "12 - TWELVE - 12" marked all along its length. (For industrual applications, this allows two people to terminate the ends of the cable in separate and even isolated locations, using a wiring diagram that tells each of them where core numbers 1,2,3, etc. get connected.) Of course, bomb makers *never* seem to do that, so it is always a red or blue wire

Answer 3

Simple goofy answer : Blue, cause I like blue.

Long serious answer:

Colors really doesn't matter at all when you are defusing bombs.

Shoot, you could make a bomb with all wires being black.

Color coding is moronic thing to do, but movie industries loves it for some weird reason.

Just simply cutting a wire in most cases will make the bomb blow up. Disabling the trigger that makes bomb go boom is what needs to be done.

It could be simple as putting cardboard in between trigger, or cutting the power line that gives the trigger power. Or as difficult as dismantling many triggers. ; light sensor, sound sensor, motion sensor, vibration sensor, heat sensor, and few that i can't think of.

Answer 4

Cut the red and blue wire at the same time, because a green wire usually means that it is grounded.

Answer 5

Green.... because green in electricity is usually the ground wire.... so it is probably the one they would think you wouldn't cut

Answer 6

Cut 'em both. Who says only one wire is gonna defuse it?

Answer 7

I'd carefully pull the fuse out of the explosive compound.

Answer 8

all 3 at the sametime

Answer 9

Shot him in the back of the head, they walk & talk nowadays.

Oh, and when he's dead, evac the area & let the fcuker blow up.

Answer 10

s#@t my pants and let someone else cut the wire while i hide
