I bought something for the shop but instead of the standard gloat thread I thought I might make a little game out of it. It is a simple game, just guess what I bought.
General info and “rules”:
1. I will post a clue several times a week, I would like to say every day but it will just be whenever I can
2. After each clue each person gets one guess before the next clue is posted, if you make a second guess prior to the next clue being posted only the first will count, you may REPOST that second guess after the next clue is posted and it will count then
3. I will not address whether a guess is partially correct or completely incorrect, I will only comment on the answers when there is a fully correct answer and thus a winner. I may comment on the form of answers if I see a trend that leads me to think people mis-understand the rules.
4. The answer must provide 4 bits of information: the manufacturers name, the size, the model and the basic noun which describes the item. For example: “Festool 6” Rotex sander” in this case I would also accept “Festool RO150 Rotex sander” since the full model name would also include the size information.
5. The winner will be the first person that posts a valid (see rule 2) answer that has all four bits of information which correctly describes the item.
6. The winner will receive not only the joy of figuring out the answer but I will also send them a set of 7 Forest City Tools brad point drill bits. These are serious made in the US bits, Forest City is the sister company to Whiteside, trust me this ain’t Harbor Freight or Borg junk!
7. I will be happy to clarify any questions about the rules.
8. I will be the sole arbiter of the winner
9. If you play, no whining! Or for the kings English folks no whinging!
10. Just have fun.
FIRST CLUE:
The item is bigger than a bread box.
The game is on!
