[SolidxSnake]

First guess was lens box

[fiveFPS]

Lens box


ok you guys got it right =)..

[3Turner]

Okay, let me find something to post.

[3Turner]

All right, here we go.

[fiveFPS]

My friend think it is a shirt. I think it some sort of print on fine sand paper

[3Turner]

Not a t-shirt and not sandpaper.

[-Pleiades-]

a ball?

[3Turner]

Not a ball.

[lavanut]

Stop sign

[3Turner]

Nope, not a stop sign.

Same material, but very much smaller that a sign. Fits in your hand.

[Mom27andblessed]

a dog tag? A reflector for your bike?

[CameraMan741]

stop signs a cross guard holds? lol

is it made of paper?
is it made of that metal stop signs are made of?

[3Turner]

Not a dog tag, reflector or stop sign across guard holes. :D

Not made of paper, made of metal, but probably not the same exact as a stop sign metal.

[Mom27andblessed]

road hazard warning sign?

[Mom27andblessed]

key chain?

[3Turner]

Not a sign of any kind....previous hint was "it can fit in your hand", you can hold it.

Not a key chain, though it does come in contact with "key chains" at times.

[lavanut]

small padlock?

[Mom27andblessed]

ah....it has to be

[3Turner]

Not a padlock.

Hints so far:
Metal
Small, can fit in your hand
Come into contact with "key chains"

Next hint: some people collect these

[SolidxSnake]

bottlecap

[3Turner]

bottlecap
Why yes, it is.
http://turner-photos.smugmug.com/photos/357982173_skZyU-L.jpg

[Mom27andblessed]

DOH!

[lavanut]

OK, so educate me... what kind of bottlecap is it? Must not be something I drink.

[SolidxSnake]

up for grabs

[3Turner]

OK, so educate me... what kind of bottlecap is it? Must not be something I drink.
Smirnoff Ice, the strawberry flavored one....many bottle caps left over from a party I had a couple weeks back....which were collected by a friend after I took pictures :lol:.

[lavanut]

Ahh... I've seen the Smirnoff stuff on TV but never had it myself.

I've got one if no one else does. I did this for one of my co-workers this week for a game of sorts they'll have next week. One person recognized it right away, but others were stumped. We'll see how you folks on the forum do.

[3Turner]

fuse

[lavanut]

nope
(and it's not a bottlecap either ;))

[Mom27andblessed]

radiator?

[SolidxSnake]

Looks like some sort of connector or cable. Plastic molded with gold-plated pins.

[lavanut]

Yes it is... should we try to get more specific as to what kind or let it go at this? It's a very common cable...

[SolidxSnake]

Yes it is... should we try to get more specific as to what kind or let it go at this? It's a very common cable...

Ethernet (RJ-45) or phone (RJ-11)

I believe those are the numbers =_=

edit: nope, not phone, RJ-11 has only 4 conductors.

[lavanut]

You nailed it. RJ-45 it is. I thought this might be easy for folks here!
299527

[SolidxSnake]

You nailed it. RJ-45 it is. I thought this might be easy for folks here!
<snip>

Never looked at it from that angle before :D

Up for grabs again :)

[Mom27andblessed]

OK...I'll give it a go again!

[Chet]

Knurled thumb screw?

[Mom27andblessed]

I've no idea what that is! LOL!!!

[SolidxSnake]

I've no idea what that is! LOL!!!


http://www.camec.com.au/images/5131-021.jpg

That's a nut, but the "knurled" part is the part with the grip on it in the diamond pattern.

[fiveFPS]

geez chet... you're very good at this

[Mom27andblessed]

ok..then it is knurled...but not a screw

[Chet]

Wrench handle?
Screw driveR?

[tomd]

kitchen utensil?

[Mom27andblessed]

Tom is awful close...but not a utensil in the traditional sense

[10range]

can opener?

[Chet]

Dull meat tenderizer?

[Mom27andblessed]

nope

[Chet]

Fork?
knife?
spoon?

[Chet]

wine bottle opener?

[Mom27andblessed]

I'm fairly certain everyone has seen this...most probably have one

[Chet]

hog ring pliers?
napkin ring?

[Chet]

Circumstraint ?

[Mom27andblessed]

no
no
no Chet...you are one twisted individual!

[Chet]

Had to look it up I'll bet.... me too ;)

With 7 kids you never know what people accumulate.

[Old chap]

something Plastic ?

[Old chap]

plastic cup out of drinks machine ?

[lavanut]

Kitchen faucet

[Mom27andblessed]

no. no ... no

this usually comes as part of a set

[lavanut]

top of a salt or pepper dispenser top

(OK, so I'm redundant... but I repeat myself..)

[Mom27andblessed]

pepper dispenser

Its the nut on top of my pepper mill! a screw was guessed...but not the nut! :)

[SolidxSnake]

Its the nut on top of my pepper mill! a screw was guessed...but not the nut! :)

[webcrawlur]

I believe it's you, good guess.:)

[Mom27andblessed]

:lol::lol::lol::p

[lavanut]

OK, here goes another for everyone...
Mommer, I believe you (and others) said before "...can't be too close."
Have fun with this one...
299830

[webcrawlur]

A salted/sugared nut or shell of a nut most likely.

[lavanut]

It's not that easy...

[3Turner]

end of stick pulled out of sand

[lavanut]

Nope...

[tomd]

ear plug?

[Skrim17]

is it food?

[lavanut]

ear plug?
Nope

is it food?
I don't think it's normally considered food. I wouldn't want to eat it.

[3Turner]

root

[Daniel2000]

poop? :p

[Daniel2000]

used toothpick?

[lavanut]

root
used toothpick?
poop? :p

No
No
and heavens no!

I'm about to call it a night, but I'll leave you with a little hint. These things are normally found outside, and what you see in in the pic is obviously a small part of a larger object, but there are many of these things on the larger object.

Hope that's enough of a hint yet sufficiently vague to keep you thinking...
I'll check back in the morning.

[<AkulA>]

Thorn

[fiveFPS]

dirty tip of a pencil or sugar cane?

[lavanut]

Thorn
dirty tip of a pencil or sugar cane?

Nope to both, though this will hurt a bit if you step on it barefoot or grab it too hard with your hand.

[Old chap]

Give us all another clue ?

[lavanut]

OK, a quick recap...

-it's not a nut
-it's normally found outside
-it's not a thorn but can sometimes be a bit sharp
-the image is but a small part of the overall object, but there are many of these small parts on the main object
-it's not a stick, but I guess it can be considered "woody"

And a new hint... I don't think these are found in tropical areas, but I know they're widespread across the US and Canada. I haven't been to Europe, but I'm pretty sure they're found there too.

[tomd]

acorn?

[thomascanty]

Pineapple?

[tomd]
