#12 What is it? First to guess right wins!

in fun •  6 years ago  (edited)

What is it?

Time for my weekly contest inspired by a game we played with the kids at my niece's birthday one year, albeit slightly more advanced. As with all my contests they are simple enough, guess right and win.

What do you have to guess?

You need to guess this image. It’s a zoomed in shot from an actual object.

This one is just tricky and not impossible, so get your guessing brain ready and give it a go. I am looking for as much detail as possible.

What am I?

HINT

This week as no one has got close, I have added an expanded macro image as part of the hint. I am manmade and would be considered as heavy although you could get versions of me that is lighter.

Macro 12 v2.jpg

What do you win?

The first to guess will wins one @steembasicincome share.

Winner will be chosen at my discretion based on the image details I have.

Sponsors accepted and wanted!

I am currently looking for an additional sponsor to help me share the love and pay it forward, there are so many good answers and I would love to give out more than I am but currently am losing on each contest, so if you know anyone that could help out with a @sbi share, a @steem-bounty or some SBD for the winners/most creative answer etc, me and my awesome followers would really appreciate it.

If you are keen, please feel free to comment below or contact me on Discord (insideoutlet#9162)

Can I guess more than once?

Yes, feel free to guess as many times as you like I will check in daily to let you know if you have guessed right or wrong so you can guess again if a winner has not been announced.

Last Week’s Contest

After some awesome guessing by everyone, I am pleased to tell you that Contest #12 was won by a dedicated @viking-ventures, who guessed it with some hints from reading through the comments.

The @sbi share has now been sent.

Full Image

I love my nature images and this caterpillar is a fine specimen that will turn into a beautiful butterfly. Fun fact: did you know that the life cycle of a monarch is a whopping 6-8 weeks total.

That's it! There are no requirements to follow, upvote or resteem although two out of three could help you win more after you guess right and the other will ensure you get a chance at seeing the next contest. Plus maybe an awesome post or two.

I hope you try again this week and as always I look forward to hearing all your guesses.

Sort Order:  

Is it a dress or a blouse?

Nope its not clotes of any sort. Thanks for playing. Give it another go when ever you like.

is it food? pasta cube?

Nope no food either. 😁

Is it related to office? a stick file maybe.
or maybe a turkey, peacock or any kind of birds?

A vacuum or maybe a chef hat?

@heartbeat1515 haha, nope none of those things, I do love the variety given lol, you would not find this item in an office either.

haha I'm almost out of guesses.
Is it an extraction fan, some kind of hot air balloon or maybe inflatable wind dancer look like hot air balloon?

Haha now I'm really out of guesses.

@heartbeat1515 haha, I like the inflatable wind dancer, haha, I love those things, its none of those, you will know this item everyone would know it regardless of country. It is none of the above. Come back next week if your out of ideas and see what it was :D

Lol, I’m so bad at playing this game...
A chicken feather?

I like this guess -- not just a feather, but a chicken feather. :-)

She asked to be specific, lol... ;0)

@simplymike haha, we all are, I would have no clue if it were me getting the images, I am much better as doing the contest than playing it lol... Its not a feather, it is much much heavier than that.

shower curtain

@zafar82 nope, that is a common guess this week though, feel free to try again.

It's skin cells near a tattoo.

Nope no skin or tattoos here. 😁

sea-shell?

@anomt no seashells here sorry, I did think a mother of pearl when I was posting it, but is nothing like that.

You thought of that... I'm starting to think you don't know what it is!

Haha, I like to think of things people may guess. Curtain is a common theme that I didn't think of.

is it a shell?

@markusmichael nope no shells to be seen in this image sorry, feel free to try again :)

A fish or a snail?

Nope not a fish or a snail, fun fact though, snails are my second fav animal, I just move them off my plants instead of kill them. :D

Shower curtain?

@joelai nope no shower curtain here, :)

Car wash rotating bristles on window?

@chaomos haha love the out of the box thinking, its not ta cash wash or any rotating bristles.

Mushroom
Fish fin
Vape smoke 🤣

Idk too hard, im a lousy guesser

@thekitchenfairy haha, you're not shite at all, the vape smoke is a brilliant guess and an idea for a future post, its none of those things, the mushroom I can see in the image but the full image is nothing like a mushroom. :) Thanks for playing!

I'm going with the underside of a mushroom
or a shell
or a sand dollar on the inside. But I think all of those might possibly be wrong. :)

@apanamamama I can see that except if you look closer there is some bit that make it not a mushroom or anything similar to it. Thanks for playing :)

Some sort of underwater coral

@phelimint I like this thinking, its not coral but great guess and I hope you try again.

Is it the inside of a seashell?

@karinxxl nope no shells here, inside or out, thanks for playing, I hope you try again. :)

A feather maybe?

@headchange Like your thinking, its not a feather, much much heavier than that :)

ice

Nope its not ice either. I will add a hint later today.

is it a marble

@headchange nope no marbles here sorry.

Oh well none left in my head either from trying to twist the mind around this one. Maybe a light fixture?

@headchange I thought the expanded image would make it easier but it doesn't seem to have to worked as it's still not guessed. lol. Not a light fixture.

Like @viking-ventures my first thought is a flower petal but I suspect that would be too obvious @insideoutlet. and what's that little blue thing at the top? 😁

@gillianpearce what is that little dot at the top... lol, it's not a flower or petal of any type. :)

My question exactly @insideoutlet? 😂 Some part of a fish?

hahaha, I would tell you but then I would have to eliminate you... JJ. lol, no fishy's here @gillanpearce :D

Great image again. My guess would be a plastic bag/sack

@ijmmai Thanks for playing and the compliment I appreciate the nice feedback. ITs not a plastic bag or sack but that's for playing, feel free to try again.

Is it a piece of a shell? Like mother of Pearl or something like that.

@gohba.handcrafts I did think it looked like a mother of pearl when I cropped it, its not but good guess, its not any type of shell this week. Thanks for playing.

Its a pearl shell

@whitestallion no pearl shells here, thanks for stopping by and giving it a go, I hope you try again.

Interior view of a thin layer of an onion.

Namaste, JaiChai

Nice out of the box thinking @jaichai, I love onions but this is not an onion, you have opened up a huge range of things I could take images of though.

Drive thru car wash soapy window? 😃

@dfinney nope no soap here, feel free to try again :)

We're pretty sure we've guessed this one right: it's the inside of a banana peel. 🍌

Hahahaha!!! I scrolled down to read people's guesses, and then I read yours! You literally made me laugh out loud and I still can't stop!!!

🍌 We really can't go wrong with guessing something banana-related, 'cause really, what else is there? :-)

@bananamemos hahaha I love that you can bring anything back to a banana, lol, there is no banana's here today. D

We know that the odds are in our favor that sometime, somewhere, on some blog, our "banana" answer is gonna be right! 😁

Haha well there is more of a chance these days as my son loves bananas so they sre always in the house. Lol.

This reminds me of a Vietnamese spring roll wrap. Is it a dumpling or a dim-sum/dim-sim of some sort?

@evlachsblog I love me some Vietnamese spring rolls, I have Chicken ones most lunchtimes when I am working, that or cup of soup at my desk lol... It's not one of these but I may take a photo next time I eat one to see what zoomed in looks like :)

Is it a wedding veil?

@evlachsblog nope no weddings here :D

Is it a silk worm? Or the wings of a white moth?

nope no worms of moths or butterflies while we are at it :D

Or candle wax?

No not candle wax.

Is it an opal brooch?

Nope not a brooch to be seen in this image, hint out tomorrow :D

Is it a part of a chandelier? Or is it someone's white silky hair?

Nope no hair or chandeliers here @evlachsblog

It's the inside of an oyster shell.

@wonderwop thanks for stopping by for a guess, it is not an oyster shell or any shell this week, feel free to guess again and I hope to see you soon.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

It is a "Fish" and fish mouth part nearer to its eye.

@saun Thanks for playing, it is not a fish or any part of the fish, I do like the out of the box thinking and the detail given, I hope you try again.

Is that a shower curtain? I see the white edge of the tub in the bottom right hand corner.

@porters like the idea, I have had a few shower curtain guesses this week, it's not that but I like the thinking, it's much much heavier than a curtain. Feel free to guess again.

It looks like a type of flower I have seen in a Georgia O'Keefe painting. The name of it slips me at the moment.

@zero-infinity no flowers here sorry, thanks for playing and I hope you give it another guess.

chicken gizzard? :D

@leeart haha no gizzards here lol, that is the oddest guess I have had yet lol...

Curtain! 😄

@michelleloh168 no curtains here, feel free to guess again. :)

Car wash brush at petrol station?

No car wash or brushes here #michelleloh168, a hint will be out later today.

Would say Mushroom, zoomed, but must admit it's hard
don't hesitate to reply this comment with answer after contest thx

Hey @itharagaian, it's not a mushroom but thanks for stopping by to play, I did a fly agaric mushroom a few weeks back that was super cool. :D Feel free to guess again.

@itharagaian I can see a mushroom, except for a few key parts on the top and bottom, its not a mushroom, feel free to guess again. :)

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

A type of jelly like food.

nope no food or jelly. :)

White Cabbage?

Thanks for taking a guess @permanyogi, it is not cabbage of any kind, thanks for playing and I hope you try again. :)

Chips.

nope no tasty chips here.

It looks like a bowl of cake mix that has been scraped out and is now full of water to soak it!?

Welcome, thanks for stopping by! It is not a bowl of cake, but now I want to go cook one, I love cake mix more than the cake. haha, feel to try again. :)

Flower petal?

@viking-ventures nope no flowers there, although I can see that in some of the image but the whole image is very very different.

Lol, Google says snow.... But I'm going with a fish fin?

lol - I love Google's thoughts.

@bengy haha google is lying, its not a fish fin or snow. :)

tissue paper?

Nope not that light or is it lite... where is that annoying bot to correct me... 🤔

A soap shaving (but then you said no soap...)
Tissue paper
a vase or bowl...
(May as well kill a couple categories at once, eh?)

Haha, sounds good. Noone has got remotely close yet. So multi guess away lol. no soap, tissue paper vase or bowl.

Hummingbird feeder?

I only saw one of these recently on another Steemians post. Its not it but I did like seeeing the tiny birds use it.

this is snow

Nope its not snow. Think more man made.

It's been 10 min and I hate guessing lol Something in a fish tank?

Haha, why do you think I put it out there and then just giggle at all the guesses. Some really impress me. Its not something in a fish tank. Not that fishy at all.

Cheese cloth?

Nope no cloth here, although it is man made.

My husband guesses a "glory hole" which is a type of spillway for a dam.

hahaha, OMG LMAO, that is not what I know a "glory hole" as... Google it, this is the top three things that come up when I do.

HAHAHAHA... It is not one of those or a spillway for a dam lol....

And no I have never googled it before lol!

lmao - when my husband said it, I was like WTF too, lol. But apparently it's a legit use of the word! I also told him, I didn't think it was it.

haha, I thought he was just pulling your chain. lol.

lol - no, I made him show me first...

hahaha, sometimes my hubby tells me things and I am so gullible I believe him. haha.

Reading more about it, it almost looks as if the term was first applied to this one particular instance - and then (sort of) expanded as almost a technical (in-house-type) term for this time of drain! Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, for sure!

Haha I hear ya, it was fun to learn something new and giggle a lot at the same time.

Proof that it exists in this context.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monticello_Dam

Monticello Dam
Monticello Dam is a 304-foot (93 m) high concrete arch dam in Napa County, California, United States constructed between 1953 and 1957. The dam impounded Putah Creek to create Lake Berryessa in the Vaca Mountains.
Lake Berryessa is currently the seventh largest man-made lake in California. Water from the reservoir primarily supplies agriculture in the Sacramento Valley downstream.

haha and the wiki bot filled in the rest of the picture lol...

except the part that brought us there to begin with!

haha true, hint will be out tomorrow evening my time :D

It's a headlight lens on a car.

Nope, not a headlight. You can keep guessing as long as you like, I tend to put a hint out on the Sunday/Monday if it is not guessed by then.

Is it a dinner plate?
Cup or saucer?
Cereal bowl?

I like the thinking and all of those things would I guess look like this thing, but they are not it, I will put a hint up tomorrow evening. :D

Coffee filter

Hey there @jbreheny, thanks for stopping by, it is not a coffee filter. Hint out tomorrow, some idea in the prior comment responses too. :D

I think I saw a comment after I had submit my guess that it was a fairly heavy item. I knew then it would have had to be a pretty heavy duty coffee filter to fit the bill.

@jbreheny haha yeah a coffee filter is not much heavier than a feather lol. feel free to try again.

hmmmmm? Is it an airplane propellor?

@jbreheny it was a ship propeller. close very close.

I hope its one type of net.

Nice try, it is not a net of any kind but thanks for playing, I hope to see you again soon. I'll give a hint out tomorrow evening.

Is it, perhaps, a bird bath? 🐤

Nice try but it is not a bird bath. :D

hmm. so many guesses already. You said it is handmade and heavy - at least heavier than a feather. It is a plastic item? Something one might use in the kitchen?

Not necessarily handmade but man made for sure. and yes heavier than a feather, I guess it could be made out of plastic but this one isn't,, it is also not used in the kitchen.

Fountain water fall

Nope no waterfall or fountain here sorry @lapb

Jellyfish :-)

@lastravage nope not a jellyfish, good guess, I do love jellyfish, well the none sting and kill you ones.

Oh, I just read the latest clue.... so it cannot be a jellyfish.... :-(

I am not good at this game. All my guesses were way off so far.. lol Is it string cheese?

Haha no string cheese @lymepoet. It seems to be a very hard one this week as to date no one is even close. I think I man have to expand the image a little.

@lymepoet nope not string cheese, I think I may have to widen the picture to give a new perspective. I am not sure what to use as the hint yet but it will be out tomorrow night :D

I would have guessed the previous carterpillar lol but This I am clueless, I thought if hair, fabic, flowing milk, but reading clues went clueless... Oh the quandary lol

haha, I think this is one of the harder ones yet, I didn't set out for it to be, I will be putting a hint out tomorrow and or may widen the image to give a larger perspective. Thanks for stopping by. :D

Lamp shade?

Nope not a lamp shade @wonderwop.

Is it a milk bag?

A milk bag it is not. I haven't heard of one of these but am guessing it may be how they distribute or collect milk in a different country.

Is it the bristles of a paintbrush? Is it a nightgown made of silk?

Ooops... I forgot that it's not clothes of any sort.

Haha all good. I like silk nighties but never find a reason to wear lol.

No paintbrush or silk nighties here sorry @evalachsblog

Is it a swimming pool cover?

@evlachsblog no it's not a swimming pool cover :D

Is it a couch? a loveseat?

@evlachsblog ohhh I love me some love seat!!! but there is no time for those types of shenanigans lol... So no couch or love seat here lol...

Is it a dress-up costume? Like silky angel's wings?

@evlachsblog no sexy wings here... or time for dress ups lol

Is it some sort of sculpture

@yoghurt no sculptures here sorry, it's quite useful an item to have in some circumstances.

Is it a fan?

@wonderwop this is the closest guess yet, it is wrong but a least on the right track kind of...

If not the chandelier, then must be a ceiling fan? Haha!!! Because a fan is the closest guess yet. LOL!

@evlachsblog haha its not a ceiling fan or a fan of any kind but...

Is it a hand fan?

@evlachsblog not a hand fan or a fan of any type.

i think its a man made shovel like something with aluminum or steel like coating and picture has been taken real close or it's a round cabinet type like in water tankers etc....

Nice try @animecraze, it's not that but I can see some steel in there, so something of the sort. Feel free to retry :D The other comments and my responses may give you some more hints.

well then i think it's a fan body that is open wide and has been coated with some material and this picture is taken when it was on that is why there are water effects when i tried to zoom in
and
it also looks like the spinner or spin cleaner maybe

@animecraze it's not a fan, or fan body or spinner etc. its just the closest anyone has got as all other guesses have not even been close

Glad to have been this close xD
Thank you

@animecraze haha think about things that look like fans...

Thinking 💭

Posted using Partiko Android

@animecraze haha, I will reveal it tomorrow, Will be interesting to see what people think of the full image. I think some will kick themselves.

Is it a windmill? :-)

@evlachsblog nope its not a windmill but I like your thought pattern, you have been checking the comments for some extra hints :D

We're thinking a basement window well cover for all your Aussie storms. :-)

@viking-ventures haha, Perth used to be pretty storm free but we have had some wild ones of late, none that have done damage to my house but my car got hail damage one year, its not a the above item though sorry :D

Is anyone close yet?

@viking-ventures not so much close as that not as cold lol..

Is it a ceiling fan globe? Maybe tulip shaped, that protects the light bulbs?

@wonderwop nope it's not a ceiling fan I know the ones you are talking about though. :D

air conditioner or humidifier ?

@headchange nope neither of these :D

glad this one is about to end. I am beginning to look forward to the answer :D

wish I had a last min guess but I am stumped:D

@headchange going to post now, see you soon!

OOOH you are such a tease

Tough one .. all my guesses have been said already. I was going to go with an ice sculpture but you said it wasn't ice. I was thinking possibly some sort of water fountain but it looks like that was guessed also.

I suppose I will go with a sculpture or possible gnome of some sort.

@rentmoney Love a good Gnome, check out the other answers and my comments for extra hints. Some are closeish...

A vase .....

I can't remember if it was guessed yet or not but possibly a window shade / blind.

@rentmoney Its not a vase, it was guessed, the blind/window shade is also incorrect. I am surprised that this weeks has not been guessed.

Fan or an air conditioner ?

@rentmoney nope not either of those, I am going to post next week now so come check it out :D

Is it a heater or heat reflector?

@wonderwop nope no heater or heat reflector, I will be revealing what it is tomorrow.

This game looks very hard, but I'll give it a shot.
Is it a Vase?
Art Sculpture?
Ceramic Bowl?

@poyim nice to see you, thanks for taking a guess or three, it is none of those things, the big reveal will be tomorrow.

All kind of common, and some weird ones :), have been entered already. So I am going for super weird, the back (top?) of one of those bicycle taxis?

@ijmmai haha, I love the out of the box thinking, it's not that, I am about to post this week with the answer so see you soon.

a sail on a ship?

@robali123 nice guess, and close in one way but very wrong in another, I am about to post the new #whatisit with the full image, so come check it out. :D

Heavy whipped cream?

@stacyalan nope no whipped cream, it has been guessed now, look at the comment on the winner to see how to win another @sbi share this week.

A water filter

nope, it was a propeller, come guess #whatisit number 14 which will be out in a short period of time.

Vacum cleaner filter

@srapdsign nope and well past payout. check out this weeks on Thursday
