Minutes to Zero

A bomb stands on a mined hexagonal area within a triangular ‘no-go’ zone. Surrounding this is a larger triangular working area. The team’s task is to defuse and recover the bomb. To defuse the bomb a tube must be removed and placed in the working area. If it falls into the ‘no-go’ area it is lost. There are only two tubes therefore there are only two chances of success!
