You make it through, only getting burned a few times; painful but nothing major. The room you enter next is small, with nothing but five sticks of dynamite in the middle. As you walk in you trigger a tripwire that turns on the clock attached to the bomb. It reads two minutes. A voice says,

"There's a pair of pliers next to the dynamite. There are two wires; a red and blue. You snap the right one and the timer's deactivated. You snap the wrong one and you're a pile of dust. I would get going; if you don't switch the bomb off in time, you won't have to worry about how long you have left to escape my labyrinth anymore."

By the time you pick up the pliers and debate which wire to cut, you have only ten seconds left. Which do you choose?

Your options:

A) The red one's always the bad one! Cut it! (Page 20)

B) The blue, everyone assumes it's the red! (Page 9)
