    New puzzle for ye

    (Video may be up to 20 seconds) Design and build a voice recognition device or robot stationed next to a toilet that flushes it when prompted by the voice command, "Crowley." We must see you speak for 10 seconds prior to saying "Crowley" (you can say whatever you wish for this 10 seconds) but only see the flushing when "Crowley" is uttered. We must see the speaker's face, the flushing mechanism and the toilet bowl in the video framing the entire time

    Hahaha This one would be cool, and I could do it if I had more time, but 2 days isn't long enough. :(

    And there's this one, also on the toilet theme haha

    IMAGE. Design a better astronaut toilet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_toilet. We will submit the best designs to our inside man at NASA. They may use it, or flush it down the current space toilet, but maybe you'll end up making a future astronaut REALLY happy.

    AH this one is possible, but the toilet seems like a pretty solid design.
    But Frankie, you could be a SPACE PLUMBER! :rofl: You might want to skip the trial with Mrs. Wolowitz's meatloaf.

    Anyone know where any of these places are?

    Last day of the hunt and they just added this item. We have to identify these places and get a selfie there in exactly the same position

    The seventh photo down looks like the Unisphere at Arthur Ashe Stadium (http://queens.about.com/cs/attractions/p/Unisphere.htm), except there is no building that close to it that I can recall. Maybe try googling Unisphere to see where else there might be one?

    Not sure if I'm too late, but the 3rd one is the mannequin pis in Brussels Belgium. I have a photo of it from last year, but not a selfie, so I don't think it would work for you.

    I don't think that's the unisphere either. It looks way too small. On second glace, that dude is wearing a Mets hat so it might actually be. I'm actually going to be in flushing tomorrow, so I can stop by there on my way home if you need.

    But then maybe, that's why he has that weird look on his face cuz he's a Mets fan and he sees that imitation unisphere so he takes the selfie to show all his friends back home. I did that with the Sydney harbour bridge. Except without the selfie.

    Here you go, just in case.image

    Can anybody get a photo taken at the South Carolina State Building today? I know it's an odd request but it's urgent and there'd be a Pearl Jam pressie in it for you :)

    Yeah we figured out the European ones I think but by that time it was too dark here to try find anyone in those places!

    I think Ident42 has me covered for NY though :)

    Haha we won't find out who won for at least a month! We submitted 140 items in the end I think, which isn't bad though we could have done more had people not been tied up with work. It was a little stressful at times but for the most part it was great craic :)

    So glad you enjoyed it. :)
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
