Not The Gizmo Quiz

while we're waiting for the real one

[lawman]

This is not the official quiz and doesn't count for anything. If you already have one, just raise your hand and let every one else play. :)

What is THIS [images7.fotki.com].

[Syzygy]

Hurrah, well done lawman!

Is the gizmo a remote control, or remotely controlled?

[lawman]

As far as I can tell it is not remotely controlled.

[moishe]

An old electric lighter?

Man I am really reaching here, this thing sure looks like an old remote control...

[Syzygy]

Does it emit anything?

[moishe]

Is/Was it a commercially available item or something someone built for a specific task? (IE parts from Radio Shack..)

[kodaks]

Does it have something to do with first aid/medical related?

[vkaryl]

A disposable camera?

[lawman]

Sorry guys, had to step out for awhile. Think "games"

[kodaks]

Is it something used to alter games?

[willybfriendly]

Does it shuffle cards?

WBF

[lawman]

kodaks is on the right track. Doesn't shuffle cards.

[kodaks]

Does it alter the game display?

[lawman]

Think "board" games.

<BIG hint>

[kodaks]

Is it a board game piece (like a monopoly piece)?

[lawman]

I don't think its a shoe or hat, but it could be used in Monopoly.

[kodaks]

Does it come standard with a board game, or is this an accesory?

[lawman]

Have you ever seen anything like that packed with a Monopoly board? :)

[kodaks]

lol....guess not

Is this used as a method of cheating?

[ogletree]

Is it used instead of dice?

[lawman]

ogletree, you are onto something.

[ScottM]

electronic dice? or a random number generator?

[lawman]

Sometimes it's dice. Sometimes it's a spinner. Sometimes it's . . . well, I've already given the "board game" hint.

BTW, the name of the gizmo is comprised of two words, both of which appear in this thread. <snicker>

[lawman]

It is a kit.

[lawman]

Ok; huge hint - name of company rhymes with "mindhurts".

[kodaks]

It is a kit.

Does that mean you have to assemble it, before use?

[kodaks]

[sarniadaily.com...]

Does the part of the gizmo I circled above, display a number?

[lawman]

I do not know.

Kit = assemble.

[lawman]

My daughter is coming in from Athens, Ga in a few minutes. We're either going to have to wrap this up pretty quick or I'll have to hand it off to someone.

[ScottM]

I'm still at a loss...
