Gizmo Quiz - 2/12

[incrediBILL]

Sorry for the delay but the gizmo quiz will be up within 30 minutes.

I'm on pacific time and sick (thanks to my virulent wife) so I slept in a bit late today.

[incrediBILL]

Here's the gizmo:
[gizmoquiz.tripod.com...]

Can you answer the following:

What is it?
How/Why/What/When is it used for?
And SHOW THE IMAGE! to prove your homework.

Good luck, and may the farce be with you.

[incrediBILL]

OK, where's the guesses....

It's not that hard.

[cmatcme]

Has it got something to do with a vacuum cleaner?

[kodaks]

Is it all or partly magnetic?

[incrediBILL]

nothing to do with a vacuum

- that's too much like housework which I avoid

[incrediBILL]

magnetic - to the best of my knowledge it's not magnetic whatsoever

[cmatcme]

Is it part of an object or is it the full picture of the object?

[kodaks]

Is it something used inside or outdoors?

[incrediBILL]

full picture of the FRONT side of this object.

HINT: is used with other objects :)

[incrediBILL]

may be used inside or outside, or sideways or upside down if you're adventurous

[cmatcme]

Is it some modern seating equipment?
No - wait can't be!

[kodaks]

Is it some sort of hook or latch?

[incrediBILL]

it's not a latch or a hook

[incrediBILL]

Is it some modern seating equipment?

Something does SIT on it, sort of.

If YOU sat on it you would need medical attention.

[kodaks]

Is it's size larger or smaller than a basketball?

[cmatcme]

Is it electrical then?

[incrediBILL]

Is it's size larger or smaller than a basketball

I would say most models are a little bit smaller

[incrediBILL]

Is it electrical then?

Nope, 100% manual

[cmatcme]

Is it some form of weaponary?

[incrediBILL]

HINT: electrical things may be attached to it :)

[incrediBILL]

not weaponary although it would hurt like hell if someone beat you with it

[moishe]

so it is heavy? steel or plastic?

[cmatcme]

At the back there seems to be a square object, is that a pack which supports electrical objects which are attached to it?

[incrediBILL]

heavy? steel or plastic?

It's not heavy, but it is made of metal.

[incrediBILL]

At the back there seems to be a square object, is that a pack which supports electrical objects which are attached to it?

It's not a power strip or anything, nothing plugs into it, but things can be ATTACHED to it.

[kodaks]

Is it a now-adays object, or is it ancient/medieval?

[cmatcme]

Is it velcro or like a plug (at the back)

[incrediBILL]

Very modern, it's one of the latest models.

[cmatcme]

Very modern, it's one of the latest models.

Does that mean I could go down to a superstore and pick it up off the shop?
