BOMBANANA Level 5

If your team is stuck on BOMBANANA level 5, it is almost certainly the Calculator module — level 5 is where it first appears, and it is the first module in the game whose state changes mid-solve.

What level 5 throws at you

Community walkthroughs put level 5 at roughly a 3:00 timer with a Color Slider and the Calculator, plus a Slider hazard. That is not a hard bomb by later standards, but the Calculator is a new kind of problem: the arithmetic answer is not the end of the solve, and a press can move the panel to a light-based decision.

How to read it

Work the math module callout in order:

1. Read and solve the expression out loud.
2. Flag odd or even, and greater-than / less-than if it matters.
3. Call the LED colour.
4. Wait for the Mute to pick the actual key — the sum's answer is not always what you press.
5. Watch the panel after the input; the state may have changed.

The priority trap is the killer here: a result can be odd and greater than five at once, and the Blind should never pick the branch on instinct. The Mute, holding the manual and the LED, decides.

Levels 6 and 7

Level 6 immediately stacks Calculator with Cable and Color Slider under a Pressure hazard, which exposes any hesitation on the Calculator. Level 7 removes the safety of a fixed composition — four Random Easy modules with a Slider — and is a useful check that the early procedures have become automatic.

If you cleared level 7 and the game will not let you progress past it, that is a separate progression issue covered on the not launching / progress guide.

What is still unconfirmed

The exact level 5 composition and timer, and the Calculator's branch table, are still being verified against the full release rather than stated here as fact.
