The super macro guessing game

[cfpackerfan]

Yeah, that's another reason why Im not posting. :p I may not be able to handle the upkeep, should it go past 1 or 2 guesses, LOL

[webcrawlur]

Last time I posted it was guessed on the VERY first try. LOL. I am embarassed to the point of waiting a bit till I get better. :)

I think it happens to most of us. If you dare, look back at my very first one and you'll feel much better, lol. It was a pic of an eye and so, so, so, obvious, felt like a bozo after that one, ha ha.:lol:

Try again, we all get better with practice...

[Thompsunshine]

Well....you could always post and I could edit :-D

Of course, you would have to let me know what it is ROFL

*blink blink*

[cfpackerfan]

Are you saying that you dont have a shot prepared? :lol:
I'm off to bed. WIll have to pass on this golden opportunity. :) Go take a shot of a tennis ball Sunshine... they are HARD ones to guess, :rolleyes: :lol: :p

[Citizensmith]

I think tomorrow I'll have to try and get a bunch done to hold as backup. There are all kinds of possibilities at work.

Ohh geezzzz Does this mean incredibly obscure items that I won't know what they are? :shock:

[jr#8]

Some one post something

[Livinthalife]

Well if noone will post I will, give me a sec to dig something up and load it

How bout this? Hope this isn't too easy.

Sorry bout the sever cropping...

[thomascanty]

A chess piece? (Pawn?)

[Livinthalife]

not a chess piece...bit smaller...

[Livinthalife]

Well I gotta go and won't be on for about 12 hours. I thought there was going to be more people on :( anyways... You guys can continue on guessing or start a new game which ever works best. I will post the answer in about 12 hours or so.

the "turned" end of a toothpick

A little wooden wotsit that you put in a piece of wood with rows of holes in it to keep the score in a sort of game thing?:) Am I making any sense? :D .....................What? :lol: :lol:

Thanks, Lonnie! That's what I meant - I just couldn't find the words! :oops:

It was wrong anyway. :cry:

C'mon photobitz - you're up!

[photobitz]

hmmm... perhaps I should have held my tongue. I'll pass to anyone who has a pic.
Gotta get to bed.

It is an a not an o, Terri. And not part of a logo.

I've got to take my wife to a meeting now. I volunteered because the meeting is in a pub. I may be some time!

Keep guessing. I have another view and clues to follow.

[Mike Bell]

The beer was good.

Too difficult, eh? OK here is another view of the same object:

http://static.flickr.com/85/241654848_e83ec01e9f_o.jpg

Okay, that's helpful :rolleyes: :lol:

Only obliquely. You probably have several of these in your house but not necessarily in your camera bag.

[BearLeeAlive]

A battery?

[Mike Bell]

A battery?

Congratulations, Jim! I made the pics pretty difficult but maybe the clues gave you it. Well done anyway! :)

It is a Duracell AA battery

[misspix]

Ahhhhh, veddy tricky Mike! Veddy tricky indeed ;) Good one!

[BearLeeAlive]

Congratulations, Jim! I made the pics pretty difficult but maybe the clues gave you it.

It was the last pic, the clue actually threw me as I always have a few in my camera bag as spares for the flash.

BRB in 10 or so, gotta take a pic.

[BearLeeAlive]

Here ya go.

Terri, your highly technical description of the device is on the right track. I want a bit more precision in your answer, though 'thingy' I am sure, is used in technical descriptions world wide. ;) :lol::lol:

But, can you mend a broken heart with duct tape? :lol:

Not a box cutter

I LOVE Red Green!! :lol:

Did you see the episode when he needed to connect two pieces of duct work, and couldnt figure out what he should use?? ROFL! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[BearLeeAlive]

This is not that hard. Terri was on the right track with her first guess. Do you all need a clue or bigger pic or sumpin?

Do remember my company does home building and renovations.

[Mike Bell]

...........

OOOH! A CLOOOOO! :D

Is it the cut edge of some kitchen flooring stuff - the spongy kind?

[BearLeeAlive]

Not flooring

This is on the right track

[misspix]

hmmm, not a box cutter tho
Carpet cutter/knife?

[BearLeeAlive]

None of the above but you all are heading in the right direction.

Ya outta bring your hubby in on the guessing then, I don't have many delicate gagetry (read female gadgetry:lol:).

Nuther hint: this object is used more towards the finishing end of things (after the drywall)

I'll be back in a couple hours.

[misspix]

Is it a scraper? Is that the right word???

[jr#8]

router bit or saw blade

Well, what's he good for then.........lol
<<<Not really expected this to be answered>>

:lol: ;) :lol:

[photobitz]

Hey! I should have guessed that!!! You lost me with the drywall thing though.

[jr#8]

lets see you get this one

[Skrim17]

Looks like a watch band, but I would imagine it is much tinier than that...GI Joe's watch band?

[BearLeeAlive]

Rubber knurling on a L lens?

[Guineh]

Looks like a gear

[misspix]

Looks like some other technical gadgetry to drive me mad :confused: :lol:

How bout.....a picture frame holder upper thingy? You know, that thing that you attach yourself to the back of a frame ;)

[Thompsunshine]

Hey girl, you got it too but I'm going to have to fail you for cheating and looking at jr#8's answer......:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Thompsunshine]

Howsabout a corrugated nail?

That is without a doubt...the coolest guess i have ever seen on here!

[misspix]

*snicker* Thanks! Stick around, you will no doubt be amazed at my technical guessing ability :lol: :lol: :lol:

[dylix]

OH. a timing Belt!!

[Citizensmith]

The edge of a file (as in one for grinding stuff not one for putting paper in).

[Mike Bell]

Focus ring on one of your telescopes?

[jr#8]

Nobody was even close.
Off to work C U arounf 4 PM
Hint .All of us have Probably used this but not for the purpose it was intended for

[photobitz]

Cookie cutter or an egg ring? No idea what else you'd use them for though...

[Reefbone]

Based on your hint all I can think of is "hammer" but that can't be it... can it?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

screwdriver handle?

[Digitally_Altered]

BBQ grill ?

:shock:

[jr#8]

BBQ grill ?
I think some of us need to get a grip on reality
BTW no one was close so keep on guessing
Maybe in a little I'll post a different part of the object

[BearLeeAlive]

It's the side of one of those pleated cups chocolates come in.

[Citizensmith]

It's the side of one of those pleated cups chocolates come in.

I think you could have it there. More specifically, a Reeses Penut Butter Cup paper cup thingy side?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Ohhh. Reese's wrapper looks like a good guess BearLee.

I'm gonna have to say... a grip of some sort (was that "grip on reality" a hint?)

[BearLeeAlive]

I loves Reese's......Mmmmmmmmmmm

[misspix]

Me too! And I don't share :twisted:

[jr#8]

I'm gonna have to say... a grip of some sort (was that "grip on reality" a hint?)
Thats right but its just a hint
Hint: object is 7" long But the image is only about 3/4" long
Can be used with one hand.
And a dead givaway is someone on this forum uses it more then others.

[BearLeeAlive]

And a dead givaway is someone on this forum uses it more then others.
That narrows it down to a couple thousand, should be easy now. :lol:

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Its a strap... that wavy fabric on it

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Watch band? lol

[jr#8]

just checking in not one answer even close.
last hint for the night
someone on this forum uses it more then others
and it has to be pure before he/she can use it!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

hmm dunno but congrats on senior member status!

[jr#8]

didn't relize that was my 1000th post. And thanks and on my b-day also.

Holy crap jr#8, you've been serenaded by the Moron Tubular Choir.......;) JK, you two sounded great

But jr#8, your clues confuse more than help.

[webcrawlur]

Holy crap jr#8, your clues confuse more than help.


I agree...:( :p

[chansh]

A condom????

[chansh]

I've got it now!
One of those thing that help you GRIP a jar lid to help you open it. I've used one to take off a stuck filter on my lens.

If I right, the hints are good.

Or is just a filter wrench.

[jr#8]

Still no one has got it. Time for a different view of the object.
something from the other end.
this will probably give it away

[Matoch]

It's those locking tongs whatever they are called.

Hrmmm ya that's the best I can do.

James

[Skrim17]

some surgical instrument?

[jr#8]

looking for a specific name.

[milleker]

Locking Forceps?

[Reefbone]

Hemostats

[jr#8]

Reefbone your up.
Now do the hints make sense?

[Reefbone]

Reefbone your up.

Unfortunetly I'm at work. I have my camera but no way of getting the pics off the card. No real macro lens either so I guess I should just give up my turn. Seems like Matoch was the first one with a reaonable guess. Don't know it's my place to do so but l will defer to him.

[jr#8]

I'd say
Milleker
ur up then

[Reefbone]

I'd say
Milleker
ur up then

did you mean Matoch?

[jr#8]

did you mean Matoch?
Nope Milleker he was the closest with the forceps

[BearLeeAlive]

Someone (who would obviously know more on the subject than me) told me those were something that they refered to as a "roach clip", not a medical tool. I have no idea what they are taking about though. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

Ah, thus the recognition by someone with the username Reefbone. :lol:

[Citizensmith]

BearLee, you just quoted yourself. Have you been smoking something?

One of my hints.
I still cant belive one of my SMGG went 5 pages not the usuall 2-4 posts.

[TooManyHobbies]

After having my first one guessed on the second post, my next one went maybe a page. So if I ever get a chance again, I've got a good one stored up.

[BearLeeAlive]

One of my hints.
I still cant belive one of my SMGG went 5 pages not the usuall 2-4 posts.
It only went one page, you must have your preferences set for short pages or sumpin', and that is about right though you really need to work on your hinting skills. ;) :lol:
I have done the same thing where I gave clues I thought would help and nobody but me understood them. The story of my life, nobody undersands me.:lol:

Your second pic was a great clue though, that is what gave it away.

:shock: Whatever are you speaking of Jim?!?

[milleker]

This is my first macro guessing game post, so i'll do an easy one.

Shouldnt need a hint. Its grainy, taken with extension tube in not the greatest of light. Looking for the technical name of the object.


http://www.johnmilleker.com/content/photography/macro_0915.jpg

[Citizensmith]

Its the twisty grippy thing for securing a plug into a socket. Commonly found on equipement that is used outdoors or moved around alot, like attaching a GPS antenna to a control box or on some audio cables.

Not sure if that counts as a technical name but hopefully you can understand what I think it may be.

[misspix]

Router bit? *the thread sits back in stunned silence as Terri posts a guess without the word "thingy*

[TooManyHobbies]

Coax connector, like BNC?

[Citizensmith]

Coax connector, like BNC?

Coax/BNC yeah but not always, some of the cables I've had those connectors on are multi strand things. Thinking about it, they are also on the old Base-10 network cable connectors. Thats one common little connector there. :)

If its correct you take the next image, I've got none at the moment. Been too busy to be taking pictures.

[KittyKat1982]

drill or bit?

[milleker]

CitizenSmith, Close enough! While i've only seen this one called BNC different sized connectors could be called different. And of course in a macro theres no size reference.

Since CitizenSmith passed, go for it Jeff.. :)

This one is a connector off of an antenna.

I design radio networks. Base-10 is coax. BNC connector refers to the type of coax or fiber optic connector that is the simple push and twist type instead of the screw on type or the push on tension type. I'll have an image up in a minute.

[TooManyHobbies]

Here is clue number one. I'm sure someone will get this on the first try.

[Matoch]

Is it a frog?

[TooManyHobbies]

This only goes to prove that I suck at this game and need to try a lot harder or that I needed to go to bed and didn't want to keep the game waiting.

[Citizensmith]

Hey, nice frog photo!

[BradT0517]

that stinks the first guess

[TooManyHobbies]

Hey, nice frog photo!

Thanks.

I'm going to bed for sure now. This site is addicting.

[sydneyguy30]

this frog is so cute man

This only goes to prove that I suck at this game and need to try a lot harder or that I needed to go to bed and didn't want to keep the game waiting.

Instrument tuning screws?

[Thompsunshine]

Bolts with wooden ice cube nuts and fine particled debris?:shock:

[jr#8]

looks like some type of electrical hold downs. Are they two different entities?

[BearLeeAlive]

Bolts with wooden ice cube nuts and fine particled debris?:shock:
Huh? :lol: LMAO
Girl, are you even sure what you described there.......lol

[Matoch]

Instrument tuning screws?

This is kindof close but I'm looking for something a little more specific. As in what is this a part of.

James

[BearLeeAlive]

Stops on piano keys.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Guitar trem/bridge?

[Thompsunshine]

Huh? :lol: LMAO
Girl, are you even sure what you described there.......lol


Well yeahhhh...I understood it perfectly, geesh! :mrgreen:

[Thompsunshine]

Howsabout....a tuning screw for a guitar.

(I soo wanted to guess a nut and bolt for a G-string)...but I refrained. Trying to be a good girl :-D)
