Gizmo Quiz #56

Cool stuff...

[Key_Master]

Welcome to this week's gizmo [banbots.com] quiz.

To be this week's winner, I'll need the name of the material and what it was first used for.

Good luck!

Hehe!

Finding a gizmo with keywords in your own language could be and extra challenge for the rest of us!

P.S.

My mother tonge is French. I can feel your worry.

Congrats JonB! Clever searching, I never thought the term "hand holding" would result in the answer. :)

Sorry for the delays. I'm working on a real life gizmo quiz of my own and it's preoccupying my time. Lost the combo to one of my MasterLocks. :(

Hope this can help Key_Master. ;)

how come only you and me were here?

I was here. I'd seen it on TV before and knew it had some super insulating properties. I thought it was called starlight or something like that and was searching for the wrong stuff. Oh well.

Busy 'managing' my 19 mos old daughter - no ti apoqweutgna;1a;ld - sorry 'bout that. She got hold of the keyboard. ;)

Sigh... I looked at the photo, and said to myself, "That could only be frozen smoke!" But then, I read the rest of the thread, and found it was quite thoroughly solved already. :(

I doubt I'd ever win a quiz that was posted in the AM by Eastern US Time... I'm just not willing to get up in the middle of the night to do it! ;)

May I suggest more expresso in the homebrew on next batch?

Aren't you guys glad I was out of the house today?
For some reason, aerogels are among those things that I happen to recognize on sight... ;)
Although I didn't know how they are made until now, so I actually just learned something!

Key_Master - that board is getting kind of full. Time for page 2 or are you going to pull some magic out of your hat?

lucky me?!? ;)

>>always a winner?

Gizmo Quiz # 6 was not won by anyone. It is the only exception. By rule they must take place on saturdays. See rules at bottom of the score chart [banbots.com].

>>(I propose an independent body to procure and administrate funny pictures for each upcomming Gizmo quiz).

Key_Master, do you volunteer for next week? This could be part of cycle : host one week, post funnies the next.

How is this?
