The super macro guessing game

[Mike Bell]

Congrats on the new lens, Jim! :D

Is it a padlock?

[BearLeeAlive]

Some sort of locking mechanism?
Yes, but a clarification is needed.

I am blasting out the door for an hour or so, will check back then.

[frzndaqiri]

My goodness. At that magnification/size I would have sworn the non shiny bits were cardboard. Whew. :oops:

[AirBrontosaurus]

It looks like the top-right corner of a padlock.

BTW, congrats on the new lens! You'll love it.

[BradT0517]

Busy day here so just grabbed a quick shot. This really should go quick.

I cant seem to see your picture

[BearLeeAlive]

Congrats on the new lens, Jim! :D

Is it a padlock?

Thanks Mike,

I see you posted just as I did, but you are absolutely right, it is a cheap one that comes with luggage.

Chris, you'd be the second right answer, and thanks, I know I will ejoy this lens for sure. :D

[AirBrontosaurus]

Erm... i supposed I should read the other guesses before I make one of my own... oops. ;)

[Mike Bell]

Here's the new pic! Nice easy one!

[memorex88]

looks like ice cubes in orange crush to me

[Mike Bell]

looks like ice cubes in orange crush to me

No - but it is edible. The field of view is only about 9x6mm.

I have to sleep now but will check in in about 7 hours or so. :)

[DanteCaspian]

One of those evil jello fruit salads.

[3Turner]

a melon

[VGP]

Peaches?

[jr#8]

ribbon candy

[BradT0517]

I was thinking jello with vegetables but those are really small vegies

[AirBrontosaurus]

The meat and a seed of a tomato or a pepper?

[Matoch]

I'm pretty sure it's an orange.

James

[aLFaDaRK]

One of those evil jello fruit salads.

Yup, my guess is Jello too

[Mike Bell]

The meat and a seed of a tomato or a pepper?

CORRECT!

http://static.flickr.com/107/307977285_52eb214ba1_o.jpg

I thought that one would go easily! :rolleyes:

You're up, AirBrontosaurus. :)

[BradT0517]

The meat and a seed of a tomato or a pepper?

Wow good job:lol:

[Rehuel]

Wow good job:lol:

Yeah, I would've bet money on Jello.

[BradT0517]

Yeah, I would've bet money on Jello.

Me toountil he said what the size was

[AirBrontosaurus]

Yay! I should have something up soon.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Alright, here we go!

[Citizensmith]

Oh, a white plastic button thingy. Probably on a device of some kind.

Do I need to be more specific?

[basroil]

i'de say some sort of thin glass or plastic cup..

[3Turner]

keyboard button

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope to everything so far.

Although plastic was sorta on the right track.

[BradT0517]

how about a plastic caster wheel

[Becky N]

Part of the embossing in a plastic card?

[AirBrontosaurus]

Nope, not yet.

My first hint is in the form of a riddle:

What gets wetter and wetter as it dries?

[Skrim17]

ice cube tray, or just the cube.

[BradT0517]

dry ice

[cfpackerfan]

It's not a guess for the pic, but the answer to the riddle "what gets wetter and wetter the more it dries" is .... a TOWEL. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

It's not a guess for the pic, but the answer to the riddle "what gets wetter and wetter the more it dries" is .... a TOWEL. ;)
You is a wise one Cat. ;)

[Skrim17]

but he said wetter and wetter AS IT dries, not the more it dries...does that matter?

[aLFaDaRK]

A towel holder then? hah

[thomascanty]

but he said wetter and wetter AS IT dries, not the more it dries...does that matter?

Maybe there's an implied word there: "as it dries (you)".

[frzndaqiri]

I don't know if it goes with the clue, but is is a roll on deodorant?
*looking again, I think it's late and I'm in left field*

[lexustami]

A roll of toilet paper?


Tami

[BradT0517]

A roll of toilet paper?


Tami

Hello Tami welcome to the forums not really much else to say other than enjoy it and I hope you learn alot

[AirBrontosaurus]

A towel holder then? hah

I'll count that ;). It's part of my towel rack.

You're up, aLFaDaRK

Good guesses everyone, and I'm glad you liked my riddle (it's one of my favorites). My other favorite one is... How far can a dog run into the woods? (answer will come later)

[cfpackerfan]

Can I answer it? ;) :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

* waving hand wildly in the air* ooooooo-- ooooo! Me! Me! Pick Me!!

[thomascanty]

I know the answer, too!

[AirBrontosaurus]

* waving hand wildly in the air* ooooooo-- ooooo! Me! Me! Pick Me!!

Yes, Miss Cat, what it is? ;)

[thomascanty]

Cat already went to bed, so I'll answer... Halfway. After that, the dog is running OUT of the woods. :D

[BradT0517]

Cat already went to bed, so I'll answer... Halfway. After that, the dog is running OUT of the woods. :D

Sadly I had to Google that one:lol:

[thomascanty]

Sadly I had to Google that one:lol:

About ten or fifteen years ago a friend of mine gave me a quiz with about 30 questions like that. In fact, that was one of them.

[AirBrontosaurus]

Yup! Good job everyone!

[jr#8]

This is SMGG. Not fiqure out the riddle. So lets get on with the images at hand!!!

[thomascanty]

We're still waiting for aLFaDaRK...

[BearLeeAlive]

This is SMGG. Not fiqure out the riddle. So lets get on with the images at hand!!!
Oh, but to spice things up a bit is fun, and I've never had too much fun!!! :lol:

[Skrim17]

uhm...alpha guessed 23 hours ago and I've got an itchy macro finger...

[BradT0517]

uhm...alpha guessed 23 hours ago and I've got an itchy macro finger...

Go ahead and post then

[misspix]

Ooooooh, orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream *drool*

[thekid24]

[Skrim17]

not a fish, or ice cream

[thomascanty]

That cheese flavored popcorn that is a popular gift this time of year at work, in those huge tubs that are separated into three compartments: buttered, caramel and cheese.

[BradT0517]

an oragne ICEE or slush or something
underwater creature
sugar
is the par we are looking at upside down or right side up

[misspix]

That cheese flavored popcorn that is a popular gift this time of year at work, in those huge tubs that are separated into three compartments: buttered, caramel and cheese.

Good one Lonnie :)

[Skrim17]

none of the above :)

[thomascanty]

Good one Lonnie :)

Not good enough, apparently. And I was sure I was right...

[cfpackerfan]

That cheese flavored popcorn that is a popular gift this time of year at work, in those huge tubs that are separated into three compartments: buttered, caramel and cheese.
MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm

[AirBrontosaurus]

Hm... I'm not sure why, but this screams "seashell" at me. Although that would probably count as an underwater creature.

[Skrim17]

underwater is OK

[AirBrontosaurus]

An anemone then?

[Skrim17]

nope

[Pete]

Polka-dot flannel?

[Skrim17]

uh-uh

[Pete]

Did I get it right then? Or was that an agreement of a dumb-ass answer?

[Skrim17]

sorry, leftpondian for no.

[Skrim17]

air bront's guesses have been the closest so far.

[BearLeeAlive]

uh-uh

Did I get it right then? Or was that an agreement of a dumb-ass answer?
uh-uh = no
uh-huh = yes

At least up here in the frozen north ;)

[Skrim17]

thanks for the translation Jim

[BearLeeAlive]

thanks for the translation Jim
No problem Crissa ;)
There does seem to be a few forms of English bandied about.

[Pete]

uh-uh = no
uh-huh = yes

At least up here in the frozen north ;)


Thanks Jim... I see now. Usually, I depend on head movements to differentiate.. Finally, left-pondians have taught me some English (US) I don't know...

[Skrim17]

lol

[BearLeeAlive]

Thanks Jim... I see now. Usually, I depend on head movements to differentiate.. Finally, left-pondians have taught me some English (US) I don't know...
I do find it amusing the different figures of speech we use in the English language across the globe. See TPBM chat.

[Matoch]

How about shrimp?

James

[Skrim17]

not a shrimp

[BearLeeAlive]

Fish lips

[scraps]

Just did a quick one, pretty busy today.

[jr#8]

some part of a toy truck looks like a hydrolic piston

[thomascanty]

The hand on a Lego man.

[scraps]

That must be some sort of record. I need to go get some extension tubes I guess...

Your up Thomas

[thomascanty]

Almost as easy as a tennis ball? :lol: I don't know why I recognized that so fast. I haven't played with Legos since the 70's.

But, I'm ashamed to admit, I don't have anything ready to post and I'm busy packing for a trip. I hope to put my tubes to good use during this trip and get some things ready for this thread. In the meantime the first person to post a picture can take over.

[Mike Bell]

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8284/mg8773kv5.jpg

[Epluim]

Is it the cover of a power cord - like one of those whit plastic thingies that run up a wall to conceal a cord running to the ceiling?

[memorex88]

a battery?

[basroil]

next hint, i hate it when rarefractions are created where they shouldn't be (proably too big a clue)

[memorex88]
