Curses, of course she is right! I must have photographed the wrong thing. Lame.

Sophie tells me that number 4 cannot be what you say it is because that works by magic.

Why will it take me a while to accurately guess 7? Is it until I encounter the item in question? Oh. 3. Apple stem. OF COURSE *head-desk*. Looking at the black fabric on 7 it looks heavier and harder-to-wear than hoody fabric and it’s woven so therefore not stretchy, but more than that I couldn’t say. I *did* do all the ones I got in about three minutes altogether though so that’s pretty good going, yes?

Yeah. The clues were necessary!

@ Claire: with excessive clues for a third of them, I might add!

You did get 2 straight out though which impressed me.

I would like to say that last night my housemate and I got ALL of these correct.

@ Fi: Nope, its not a part of my camera.

@ Jenny: Pretty good, although you should be able to get 3 more accurately than you have and 7 you won’t guess accurately in a while. It’s not a hoody, that would be the most uncomfortable material to make one out of ever. It also won’t feature in the answers directly as it can’t be photographed from a distance with my camera…

It’s interesting how different people see different things right each time. It took claire ages to get 4, but you spotted it straight out.

Everything up there I found on my desk, for clueness. Procrastination doesn’t lend itself to moving!

Is 2 reflected in a mirror? In which case, it’s not part of your camera is it?

1. is definitely a zip, or rather, half of one.
2. I haven’t a clue but it looks a bit like some kind of photographic film? But that wouldn’t make a lot of sense, so I’m going with ‘I am wrong’.
3. is the end of a twig/base of a leaf, or something planty, anyway?
4. is the hooky bit of velcro
5. is the flint/flicky bit of a lighter?
6. could be more or less anything
7. is embroidered red lettering on a black hoody and I’d also make a guess that the photo is not actually the right way up, but I could be wrong.
8. ballpoint pen
9. no idea.

Feel free to delete and then reply if I’ve got many of these right so as not to spoil anyone’s fun…
