I didn't write the quote - it was translated from Chinese.

Atomic Bomb Plugs from the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

If it is "Atom Bomb Pkug" you were after, I think I got there first?

See above.

Oh, the caption did say:

Is called on the young boy's atomic bomb plug

Guess I thought that might've lost something in translation.

What were you after Lgn1 Hiroshima Bomb Plug or Atom bomb plug?

I have to go out...

I have a delimma between Bundltd and Trilliumjedit

The term i was looking for was little boy atomic bomb plug

Bundltd found the page (in chinese) that would have given
him the answer. Well Trilliumjedi gave the correct bomb.

Remember, this was the first atomic bomb dropped. And
this plug is specific to the little boy bomb.

Im inclined towards Bundltd, buy I would like an opinion.

Hm, tj did the pre work and lisa finally found the pic ... dunno who deserves it. What about being Gentlemen? ;)

Nick_W

5:41 pm on Nov 29, 2003 (gmt 0)

What about a tie? - I missed TJ's original contrib and I think they both deserve it don't you?

Nick

I'm just happy to have found the thing, even if I wasn't specific enough in naming it. ;)

I would give a half point to each, or for both to get
a point.

If that is not allowed, I would prefer Bunltd and trilliumjedi to reach an agreement among them selves.

All in favour of a tie? - Say 'knickers!'...

Positively scandalous this is.

I appoligize if i made a mess out of this, as this is
only my second time hosting the quiz.

I will let the official scorekeeper make a rulling on this, if neither of the two options suggested results in an outcome.

Nick_W

er... whos the official score keeper? - Can we get a decision on this and put it to bed sometime this century?

[dramatic music] dum dum dum
[announcer voice] who will host next week's Gizmo Quiz? Who will decide? Will Foo survive this scandal? Stay tuned...

TJ? What do you say?

I think the winner is obvious.

In message 38, lgn1 said:

whats a four letter word for detonator, that would make
sense if you use two four letter words.

Right there, two words are requested. Whether it's an "atom bomb plug", "Hiroshima bomb plug", or "little boy's bomb plug" they are all bomb plugs...

The first time "bomb plug" was suggested was in message 55, by bunltd:

it's Hiroshima bomb plug

But that's just my personal opinion...

Dang, I'd tuned out thinking Bunltd had won it and missed all the excitement.

What's been happening is probably a good reason to have a specific set of goals for the game - like having to name the item and finding the photo. Same objectives every week.

Anyhow, I'm married so I have enough disputes of my own...

Good luck,

2odd...

After carefully examination, Bunltd provide the answer
'Hirsoshima bomb plug'. Well the Hirsoshima bomb was little boy so technically the correct answer was given by Bundltd
in message #55, and Bundltd did provide the proper web page,
and translated the answer into english, which was no easy feat. So for all intents and purposes 'little boy bomb plug' and 'Hirshohima bomb plug' are the same thing.

I am therefore awarding the prize to bunltd. Sorry Trilliumjedi, it was difficult, and I was partly to blame for not specify the rules more clearly at the very start.

Now that is what I call a Gizmo!

lgn1: thanks, tough decision but that was one great gizmo!

Guess I'll do the honors next week. Get back to you all on the time.

Sorry, I've only just returned... what a suspense I missed lol.

Defintely should go to Lisa having re-read the thread - she found a relevant page on the net and posted a link before I did. Was close though!

Well done Lisa!
