In All the Time in the World, Bond is placed in a high-stakes position of having to defuse a bomb.

The worst part? You don't have the luxury of time to figure out how to defuse it. Once the time runs out, you'll need to restart until you're able to do it. Lucky for you, defusing the bomb is easier than it seems.
