Saturday's Gizmo Quiz

A little early, sorry.

[2oddSox]

OK,

What is this

what 'was' it used for, and where 'was' it used?

Good luck,

2odd...

(sorry for starting early, I've been called out for a job a little later - and I couldn't get the link working so you'll have to cut 'n' paste :)

Thanks NFFC, I kept getting an error page for some reason.

2odd...

[2oddSox]

Ack! I'm so sorry folks, I've really gotta go. Best I pull the plug on this before anyone gets into it.

Blame my boss and the guy who called in sick.

Hy humblest apologies!

Bummer, and it's such a cool looking gizmo...

Dragon Seismograph. A ball is in the mouth of each dragon and the mechanism will drop the ball from the appropriate dragon to indicate the direction of an earthquake.

A WebmasterWorld ruler?

Gizmo Quiz #73 [webmasterworld.com]

[Macguru]

So what to do with one? It's no longer saturday anywhere...

I suggest giving another chance to 2oddSox for next week, with another gizmo.

[2oddSox]

Hey I'm really sorry about that. I'm in a new country and new job, so I gotta jump when the boss says. Even for server maintenance on Saturday nights :(

(at least while I'm waiting for all my websites to start making me a decent living...)

I see some people saw the wrong picture anyhow. It was going to be the earthquake device, but just as I was uploading it, the missus walks in, takes one look at it, and said, 'Oh, that's an ancient Chinese earthquake device'. As you do.

So I put another one up with the WebmasterWorld ruler in front of it.

Anyhow, if I'm forgiven I'm happy to try again.

2odd...

[werty]

2oddsox, I agree and think that you should host it next weekend.

[Macguru]

2oddSox,

I believe all FOO-ites can understand this and will gladly give you another chance. ;-)

But since we had only one game during the last month, I think we need another "rule" to improve it's reliabilty. Also, "THE WORD GAME! [webmasterworld.com]" became really stiff competition to the Quiz now... :)

I suggest we could also elect a back-up host for the next week? He could take over the Gizmo Quiz if the official host can't do it for some reason.

2oddSox, if we have a consensus on this new rule, I volunteer to be your back-up next week. If some agenda change happends, we keep in touch via Sticky Mail.

What do you guys think about this new rule?

[2oddSox]

Sounds good to me Macguru. I can do without that kind of pressure :)

Thanks for the offer.

2odd...

lawman = new rule supporter.

[werty]

I am all for the new rule. Now it is just a mater of not being a hungover mess during the quiz.

[bunltd]

A Gizmo-backup... This Foo-ite thinks the rule sounds good, but then I'm all for anything that keeps us in gizmo quizzes...

[defanjos]

New rule sounds good.

Also, would be a good idea that people did not try to win a quiz if they know already they won't be available the following Saturday to host it.

[Macguru]

I agree King defanjos. I believe I have found some solutions in a new set of rules slowly cooking on the back burner. I have submitted a rough draght the Gizmo Quiz legal expert [webmasterworld.com] and will submit it to all FOO-ites, as soon he pops something that makes sense out of it...

The general idea is The Show Must Go On.

2oddSox - nice Neutron Spectrometer [lpi.usra.edu] from the Lunar Prospector :)

The Neutron Spectrometer (NS) was designed to detect minute amounts of water ice that may exist on the Moon. It was also used to measure the abundance of solar-wind-implanted hydrogen.

Happened across this while looking for this coming Saturday's gizmo.
