Improvised 20 winners announced! 03:00 25/03/2010, Goli Mohammadi, contest, MAKE: Blog


MAKE winners Volume 20 homemade Challenge have been announced. Here the challenge is how to read, if not the following:

The Scenario: You belong to a group of fans, but dedicated to "urban archaeologists" who have made it their mission to document the details of flight in the history of their city. Is noticeable when driving one evening a classical building of the group has often admired is fenced and earmarked for demolition. You decide that a quick entry and exit - some notes and some photographs - will serve its mission well.

Parking out of sight, ignoring the "signs" No Trespassing, load your stuff in your jacket pockets minimal, and easily scale the fence to enter the building. Guided by the LED flashlight small, but powerful, who journeyed to the wooden stairs creaking, snapping pictures all the time with a compact digital camera.

The challenge: When crossing one of the upstairs suddenly crash through the floor and some tables are wedged tightly into the hole until the armpits. Moreover, the decline has forced the chipped edges of the tables broken down along his body. So while your arms and shoulders look good, if you try to raise yourself, Law together like a giant, evil finger puzzle of China and only dig deeper, further wedge.

You do not know how far the fall is below you, and the hole is so narrow that it is doubtful that you could get through the shoulders anyway. Hanging there all night with the hope that the demolition team can find in the morning could be an option - except that mass rats probably could seriously affect you then. Thus, the intrepid archaeologist who you are, how will you get out of this?

What You've Got: You have a flashlight and camera, which are within reach. You also have a working cell phone and a swiss army knife (or Leatherman tool) - but two of them are in their pockets, which are below the hole. And, it's just your imagination, or is that the rat in the corner made you smile?

Here are all winners and their solutions:
