## On the Subject of Colour Flash

It’s easy to identify colours. Red, Blue, Green, etc. Turns out it's a bit harder when you display a word colour in a different colour though...

View Original

* A Colour Flash module will repeatedly flash a sequence of 8 different words representing colours in different colours.
* The possible colours are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Magenta and White.
* There is also a Yes button and a No button on the module.
* Only *one* of the Yes and No buttons need to be pressed to disarm the module, but must be pressed at the correct time according to the rules below.
* The colour of the last word in the sequence determines which set of rules to follow below.
* Follow the rules down from the top-most rule, down to the bottom-most rule for the block that applies to your module.

If Green is used as the word at least three times in the sequence, press Yes on the third time Green is used as either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.
Otherwise, if Blue is used as the colour of the word exactly once, press No when the word Magenta is shown.
 ***The colour of the last word in the sequence is Yellow:***
If the word Blue is shown in Green colour, press Yes on the first time Green is used as the colour of the word.
Otherwise, if the word White is shown in either White or Red colour, press Yes on the second time in the sequence where the colour of the word does not match the word itself.
 ***The colour of the last word in the sequence is Green:***
If a word occurs consecutively with different colours, press No on the fifth entry in the sequence.
If Magenta is used as the word as least three times in the sequence, press No on the first time Yellow is used as either the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.
 ***The colour of the last word in the sequence is Blue:***
If the colour of the word does not match the word itself three times or more in the sequence, press Yes on the first time in the sequence where the colour of the word does not match the word itself.
If the word Red is shown in Yellow colour, or the word Yellow is shown in White colour, press No when the word White is shown in Red colour.
 ***The colour of the last word in the sequence is Magenta:***
If a colour occurs consecutively with different words, press Yes on the third entry in the sequence.
If the number of times the word Yellow appears is greater than the number of times that the colour of the word is Blue, press No the last time the word Yellow is in the sequence.
 ***The colour of the last word in the sequence is White:***
If the colour of the third word matches the word of the fourth word or fifth word, press No the first time that Blue is used as the word or the colour of the word in the sequence.
If the word Yellow is shown in Red colour, press Yes on the last time Blue is used as the colour of the word.
Otherwise, press No.

## On the Subject of Colour Flash (Translated)

It’s still easy to identify colours. Yellow, Magenta, White, etc. Turns out it's a lot harder when you not only display a word colour in a different colour, but also in a different language...

*See Appendix TLM for language identification reference.*

This module is identical to Colour Flash, except the display and the buttons have been translated. Use the black barred sticker on the module to identify the language. If there is no such sticker, you are not looking at a translated Colour Flash module.

Perform the instructions as found on the manual page for Colour Flash, using these tables to help translated the words on the display as well as the two buttons.

## ***Button Translations***

**Notes:**

* Hebrew and Arabic are read from right to left. This also applies to the order of the two buttons.
* Certain Bengali and Malayalam ligatures may show up as separate characters on the module instead.

## ***Appendix TLM: Language Identification Reference***

Certain translated modules come with a sticker on them to indicate the language they're in. If there is no sticker, or the sticker does not look like in the image, you are either not looking at a translated module, or the module was translated by a different manufacturer.

The Identification Number on the black bar can safely be ignored. Only the 2-4 large letters below it are of relevance in identifying the language.

These letters indicate an ISO 639 code, used to classify languages. Each language is assigned a two and/or three letter lowercase abbreviation. However, the sticker shows these in uppercase. Use the table to help identify languages from their ISO 639 code.

## ***ISO 639-1 codes***

ISO 639-1 codes are two letter abbreviations for each language. These are typically based on the native name for the language (also known as endonym).

## Striking and Solving

The module will cause a strike if:

* an incorrect colour/word is pressed.

The module will be disarmed when:

* the correct colour/word is pressed.

## Strategy/Trivia

* The defuser does not need to state all colors and color words at the start of the module. They can just state the colour of the last word of the sequence and go from there.
	+ In fact, Souvenir will only ever ask about the color of the last word in the sequence, so you do not have to worry about the other words when you have Souvenir.
* There are not many shortcuts to this module, so unless you are experienced players, the most efficient way is to ask questions, with the defuser responding to each question with "Yes" or "No."
* On the Repository of Manual Pages, this is actually the **very first modded module** to be in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.
