Dice Death Trap

This trap was inspired by the movie Cube. If you want to watch it for yourself, then it should still be on netflix. Anyways, today's man of the hour is named Sam. Now, Sam is a very persuasive man. Only problem is his persuasion is used with a pistol or other threats. He has even forced someone to kill a threat to him, earning that person a life sentence. Sam has used every person he can to help him, but what will he do now that he has to help himself.

The Trap
Sam wakes up with his hands and feet tied up, leaving him in the shape of an x. Infront of him is a gate with a lined set of blades. There also is something to the sides of them which will allow them to move towards him.

How this Trap works.
Sam will have 60 seconds to free himself from the trap. But obviously this is a saw trap, so it is not gonna be painless. To get out of these chains, he will have to find something sharp enough to break what is holding him down. What is it you may ask, well it is the knife he has used to get people to do his bidding. He must use the knife to cut off his hand. With his hand free, he will be able to undo the chains and escape. However, if he chooses to keep his hand, he will be cut into little tiny peices.
