  1. Waaaaaaaaaaay too easy.


  2. Yes, but the prize usually matches the difficulty, at least roughly. I don’t need another tripod so I won’t be entering, and I assume it’ll go to some kid who doesn’t have a tripod already, and for whom this component is relatively new and interesting.

    I wonder if, with some prize donations and possibly submissions of tricky “things”, there could be a second contest each week, with harder challenges and cooler prizes. What say you, Alan?


  3. Yes, it’s easy, but only if you have seen one before 🙂


  4. Yes this is one of the easier ones… I don’t want to do tough ones every week. 🙂 That way everyone can participate. I am thinking that the monthly contest could be expanded to have a very tough item to guess in addition to the comment portion.


  5. It’s a *** ***. And a tiny one at that. You should do something harder like a neutrino detector or a pipe pig. I know hundreds of things that would be better name that things.


  6. Hi positive anion,

    Email in your answer, please do not answer in the comments.


  7. Alan – How many entries do you usually get for a contest?


  9. No big secret. 🙂 It ranges from about 70 to 300 depending on how hard the question is.
