Title: Montana's way
Post by Iceman on Jun 7th, 2008, 6:47am

You're a newly recruited mobster Montana working for your boss Frank. In order to prove your worth to the organization and advance in rank, you agree to kill the snitch Raul. Frank wants him to die thanks to an explosive device with magnet, suited to be put under the car. Why? Because Raul’s greatest fear is to die like that. Your boss also said that you must activate and detonate this particular explosive while Raul is driving his car.

Frank was very specific about this, plus he sent his right hand Marty to supervise it. So if you kill Raul in a different fashion, Frank will outcast you from the organization, maybe even kill you. The thing is, Raul is very nervous and suspicious lately, and he often looks under his car to see whether there is explosive there. Still, is there a way to improve your chance to kill Raul as Frank specified and prove yourself like so?

Put it [hide]on top of the car[/hide]

or [hide]in the exhaust pipe [/hide](how big is the bomb anyways?)

Or put it [hide]under one of his seats[/hide]

Or just [hide]throw it at the car as its moving away and detonate it as it sticks to the car[/hide]

Like all problems involving cars, this can be solved if you watch enough Top Gear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKaU20eoFAc).

You must put the explosive where you are supposed to put it, that is, under the car. Frank was very specific about it.

Not allowed.

Not sure what exactly do you mean, but I'd say that you're not on the right track.

I mean that I would do what Richard Hammond does at the end of that video clip.

.....I missed the end, heh, the most important part of the video. Not bad, but I hadn't that in mind. Toys are not at your disposal.

Paint the bomb black (or whatever color the bottom of the car is, works even better at night) or talk to him before he gets in so he might forgot to check the bomb as he is giving you directions

Make the bomb look like one of the tubes under the car.

No to both. Raul isn't blind.

Put /two/ explosives under the car, one being more visible than the other. Raul will discover the first and won't search further... and then there were fireworks.  :)

Get hired by Raul as check-the-underside-of-the-car-for-explosives expert.
