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

in whatisit •  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.

As always I aim to keep you guessing but interested for as long as possible, I hope this is tricky but doable. Make sure you give a detailed answer I am looking for the "exact type". If you can't be exact then be fun as I will be looking for the most interesting answer for a possible second @sbi share this week!

Macro 19.jpg

What am I?

HINT

I am a plant and just as a little bit of proof I have extended the macro shot for you.

Macro 19 b.jpg

What do you win?

The first to guess will wins a @steembasicincome share, sponsored this week by @simplymike.

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

Sponsors wanted to help the fun continue!

I am currently looking for additional sponsors to help me share the love and pay it forward, there are so many good answers and I would love to give more, 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

The fastest first was @engchitchat, guessing correctly with igloo just before @markusmichael, unlucky this week.

The most common guesses were snow and clouds, the most creative was @bashadow who picked up a large chunk of the @steem-bounty.

I got this one. ;-},,, the very very last dry spot on a puppy pee pad. I can see the little toe nail marks the little paw prints, and I can tell via smellyvision it is definitely a puppy pee pad with only one small dry spot left.

This week's winnings have been transferred by @simplymike.

This week we stayed in Alaska and just hoped last weeks bear didn't find us.

Any other rules?

Nope, 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.

Orobanche or broomrape. ;)

@sammosk neither of these, it was from Japan, a sago palm.

I was gonna say a pomegranate going to mold and seed, but I am not sure. Then I started looking at it more, and more, and looking into it closer and closer. I could see an innocent looking little lost puppy, a meerkat, a bearded gnome, but then on a second look he turned into a sheep, then there is the horse head, and what may be a stick monkey.

So upon a closer amd more scrutinized viewing It could be like I first said a pomegranate going to seed, maybe a handful of cranberries rotting, but it could also be from that movie, Puppet Masters, and the afterbirth of POD People.

omg - this is so hilarious! I will have to remember to check out your answer every week!

I like contest like this, where fun kind of sort of counts, and the host, (be crazy themself), don't care if we cut up a little bit. Sometimes there is just to much seriousness on steemit, and I am not quite at the comedy openmike level, (yet).

I like the "yet" part of that!

haha well I love it and no one has guessed this weeks yet so I have added a hint. :D

Haha, love the creatives genius of your eyes haha. No mold, seeds yes but from what. Know that they are still on the "living item" and all part of its life cycle.

Rotten tomatoes, easy.

dangit we all are guessing the same thinggg

And to date are all wrong lol. Its a very tricky one this week.

dayummmmm

@eaglespirit haha it was a sago palm tree, thanks for playing :D

oh wow cool, it was fun!

@eaglespirit thanks, hope to see you next week, will be doing up the post later today for posting tomorrow! :D

@insideoutlet i dunnooo ... too much fo mah wee head, thats why i didnt keep mine going. LOL i did the same thing guess the photo contest about 2 months before you started yours. plus i was giving money away every week LOL

hint added now :D

still looks like fruit to me lol smh

doh!!

em em a rhodedendrum?

@eaglespirit it was the seeds of the plant.

bah!

I love when people say, its this and easy... lol, this one is far from easy, its super tricky actually. Check out the other comments for some hints.

No srsly it looks like rotten roma or baby tomatos.

I have added a hint now :D

hint was much helpful.

I tried. :(

@sammosk it's all we can do, can I ask did you come on the post because of the @steem-bounty?

A kind of lichen?

Not Lichen, I have added a hint now, check it out in the post :D

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

It is orange/red seeds on the female Sago palm!!!! I love these sort of contest. Just followed you at @asapers too.

@momogrow hey there, you are correct, but you were the second person to guess it this week, it was first guessed by @yogajill, I have upvoted your content with my max vote and you will get a portion of the steem bounty too. Thanks, heaps for playing and thanks for joining the @asapers, I have your most recent post ready for curation in the next issue. Hope to see you next week!

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Aww that is disappointment but it was fun figuring it out. Congrats to @yogajill. I saw the green fronds of the palm plant in the hint so it became easier. Thanks for the upvotes. See u in the next round.

Great guessing! Thanks for paying. See ya next week.

@momogrow not to be dissapointed you got a share anyways :D Thanks @yogajill xx

ok, which way do I go now? Obvious? Obscure? I'm going with this:

A frost-bitten tomato plant.

sucker!! i mean sweet lynn i thought the same thingggg hehehehee:p

haha I have no idea what it is then!!

Hahaha, its not a tomato plant, although it is living. I saw this in Brisbane.

Oh! so the Brisbane hint should clue this Canadian into figuring it out lol

haha well it isn't native to Brisbane or Australia I found out doing some research. :D It is a plant through.

@lynncoyle1,

Lynn ... she saw it on the Internet while sitting on a chair in Brisbane. She's toying with you. :-)

Quill

haha Quill, I don't even think she knows what it is!

do you @insideoutlet? Really? :)

Haha well I didnt know what it was but after some in deapth google image searches I now do. Better than the bear episode haha.

:-)

Haha, this is something I would do haha...

@insideoutlet,

Well ... it's definitely not an anemone. :-(

I'm going with dried apples, camouflaged with seaweed and lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar.

While that may seem implausible, keep in mind that @insideoutlet chose insideoutlet as a username! An electrical outlet inside the house??? Who would think of that?

And who would think this picture was actually identifiable with less than a million guesses?

God ... I hope it's not an anemone.

Quill

Haha, I just thought it had been too easy the last few weeks so I would throw in a curveball. I have added a hint to increase your odds, so no sadly it's not dried apples, camouflaged with seaweed and lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar. Although that does sound not too bad minus the seaweed.

An electrical outlet inside the house??? Who would think of that?

haha, I am super savvy like that. I like a good wordplay which is how I put my awesome username together.

What's in a name?

@insideoutlet,

I just read the backstory on your name. Well ... now don't I feel like a heel.

Alright back to the challenge.

HINT: I am a plant.

Hmmm ... you know what is NOT a plant?

An anemone! It's true. They're actually sea animals named after a land plant. Now THAT is worth a big upvote!

OK ... so it's not an anemone and it's not dried apples, camouflaged with seaweed and lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar. Hmmm.

Pomegranates! I do declare ... those are most definitely pomegranates.

Quill

Haha, i do love a good anemone, nemo style. Its sadly not a pomegranate either. Somw guesses ive seen are close post hint .

Potpourri?

Nice try, i can see that but its not it, this thing still lives.

Are they grapes or berries on the vine?

Not from a vine, check out the hint and the bigger image above :D

@dollarsandsense,

Potpourri ... with all due respect, bro, where are you buying your potpourri? And ... are you sure it's potpourri? Maybe it's just pot?

Dan ... there are apple-like things in there!!!

Quill

I can say with 100% certainty that I have never once in my life purchased potpourri.

I thought it was just a category on Jeopardy until sometime in my late teens.

@dollarsandsense,

I can say with 100% certainty that I have never once in my life purchased potpourri.

I was going to say ... Dan, toughen up. We're not girls. We have no business buying potpourri. We're guys. We're the ones who make the bad smells that girls need to cover up. Everybody just stay in their lane.

Quill

Look like dried fruit, but knowing you, it cant be that simple. Maybe a dead sea star 🤣

Nope this one is still living, all part of the cycle, not yet dead. Not fruit either.

I have added a hint now, check it out :D

This is moudly rosehips...

Nope its not. I should google what mouldy rosehips look like as I dont have a clue but know that I took this image and its got no rosehips in sight

rotten red pepper vine or red tomato vine :p

No rot today, its a healthy living something... 😁

garden junk or a compost?

Neither of these sorry, thanks for playing today. Check out the other comments for some hints.

You are in Alaska???? Come make a stop to where I live! I am on Alaska Highway 😉

Haha im not, but my #whatisit has been on an Alaskan trip, first the bear and then the igloo lol. Im in Australia.

Mold growing over rotted cranberries.

No mould or cranberries here this week. It is alive and still growing.

I posted a separate and new response yesterday. Even decided to add a foto. Eager to find out!!!

@momogrow you were correct but not the first sadly, one person beat you too it :D

mouldy rosehips?

I think you are correct!

We'll see what @insideoutlet has to say... I know she's a gardener, so maybe...

You would also be incorrect. Its tricky this week. I saw this in Brisbane.

Nice try, it would live in a garden but its not mouldy, more part of the life cycle.

If they're not mouldy, then they're covered in pollen... or something an insect leaves behind.
I'm really not sure how Brisbane helps us, lol.

Haha, it may not but it may make people think more tropical.... haha

True. I am going to have to take the defeat on this one though - no idea what you Aussies have hidden away in your gardens - besides poisonous snakes and spiders, anyway!

haha, I found out it's not even native to Brisbane lol... I have added a hint now with a bigger image. :D Thanks for playing :D

Can't wait to find out the answer! This one is crazy!
One of the things that really makes this contest succeed (where others of the same nature don't as much) is the fact you allow multiple guesses and interact so much. It really does make it an awesome contest!

Thanks @viking-ventures, I try to ensure every person is responded to an l like to play a little with the guesses, I may just be giving winnings to the most creative of which I have a few this week. Glad you saw @bashadow's one, @quillfire is another funny bugger haha.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Icarumba! This is some kinda seed!

Haha icarumba! It would be a kinda seed but im looking for more info than that seed from what? Its still alive and on the "living thing" at time of this image being taken. All part of the life cycle.

Well what about Pittosporum revolutum (PITTOSPORACEAE) hahaha or glory lily seed!! 🤣

Yeah i would guess these too if its from Brisbane!

I had to google what this was lol, its not that i have added a bigger image now and confirmed its a plant. Also more googling about this thing told me its not even native to Brisbane normally lol...

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Ok, i finally got it! Japanese Sago cycad. But, luck was really on my side. You see, @brittandjosie happened to mention this wonderful little app in a completely separate post conversation going on simultaneously. I totally downloaded it. And, used it for help here!!! Hope that's not ruining the fun for anyone! If i win. I'd like to contribute the prize back to the pot for your next contest. That's an interesting plant! I never even knew it existed till now! 😂

Do you know how @steem-bounty works @insideoutlet? I am new to it. But, i think the post author has to upvote first line comments in order for commenters to get bounty rewards??!! I wouldn't want the bounty to go to waste! Or, maybe I can upvote comments and it will work too!!??

Oooh i just checked

You got it right i believe 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well you cheated with an app, i cheated with google 🤣

Yeah buddy!! Haha :)

Posted using Partiko Android

haha all this back end play going on lol...

Well done. It has got to be sago palm nuts, otherwise we are all at a loss :)

It was the seeds from a sago palm tree from Japan but found in Brisbane lol

@yogajill I think its a combo of you voting and me, I have been upvoting some with lower VP so that they can get part of the bounty :D

You would also be correct with the Japanese Sago, did you just add the image to the app and it told you the plant type? That is super cool, I know one other has guessed the sago palm which is what I had as the answer but you were first, so you honey win this round!!!

Yup! That simple. The app is called 'Picture This'. I just found it very serendipitous that someone suggested i use it (quite out of the blue) as part of their comment on a completely unrelated post. I never would have thought to use an app to get it otherwise 😂🎉🎈✨ Thanks for the wonderful fun!!

Fungi formation on an apple.

Nice try, its not fungi or an apple, it is alive.

Quill

@quillfire LOL!!! you are killin me hahaahhaaha

Molded berries

Not mould here or berries. Check out other comments for some hints.

Hi hi insideoutlet, thank you for this great quiz!

My guess would be tulip bulbs or flower bulbs?!?!
Oh dear, I am not got with guessing pictures :)

Thanks for taking a guess and nice try, I have some bulbs in my garden that could look similar to this, it's not bulbs but a type of plant, I have added a bigger macro above, feel free to guess again and I hope to see you again. :D

Just made my second guess .... got lost in the comments :) I think it is palm tree fruits ... sorry no better word for it. The fruits of palm trees I guess ... hahahaha missed an english word ... lol

Microscopic view of a moldy pomegranate.

It is a zoomed in view but nothing mouldy here.

I lose again...lol.

Posted using Partiko Android

Not lost until it is won and it's still not guessed yet, I did add a hint above, check it out and try again. Thanks for playing.

Wow..even with that hint I'm at a loss. But I'll take a free guess at - mistletoe since it looks like a plant.

Posted using Partiko Android

@tonygreene113 haha it is a plant, it was a sago palm tree :D

IEUW!! Even if I'd know, I don't think I want to guess this week ;0)

Haha, its axtually very cool the full image, was so surprised to find them that I took the photo and did the research after to find out what it was lol. You will like it. Lol.

Makes it so much more easy to guess!! 😂🙈

haha I have added a hint now @yogajill & @simplymike, it's a plant, more image above :D

I'm with @yogajill on this :0)

I had yo do research too to get it 😉😁

I was going with rotting pomegranate, but as that has already been taken, will go for rotting pot pourri.

No rot or mould to be found here in spite of the image this thing lives. All part of the life cycle.

Pot pourri?

I havent seen pot pourri since living back at home. This item is alive.

for sure it's weed and raisin salad :P

haha, I think this would give you a pretty upset stomach if you ate it. I have added a hint in the post. Feel free to guess again.

It looks like some sort of mould to me!

No mould here, I have added a hint and a bigger image for people to check out and guess. :D

It reminds me of some sort of crazy fruit and herbal tea mix!

#thealliance #witness

Haha, I can so see that @c0ff33a, sadly it's not right this week but I have added a hint and a bigger image if you want to try again :D

a shirt from grandma :D

Haha, what an ugly shirt that would be... haha, not it but funny guess

I don't know what that thing is. Maybe it's covered in mold. Or sea salt? ;)

No mould here, all part of the life cycle. Also no salt here. Nice to see you.

Fungus formation on tomatoes ? Or maybe some other seed. ?

Posted using Partiko Android

No fungus, it could be the seed from a plant, but im looking for something more specific than seed

I have added a hint now, it's in the post if you want to give it another go :D

Coral berry?

Not a coral berry but I have added a hint now, check it out :D

it is a very healthy fat bud from a marijuana plant under microscopic view, and man if it ain't somebody is lying. I have had some just like that under my scope years ago.
It looks really good by the way.

hahaha, I can see this! It's not something I have ever taken a photo of and this image is mine taken last weekend in Brisbane. :D It's nice to see you outside @thesteemengine. Check out the hint if you want to give it a second go. :D

Out of mind😯

Posted using Partiko Android

Hint added if you want to give it a go :D

Ahh it is more confusing...at forst glance it looks like date plant..but it cant be...as dates always looks brown and never so messy.....then i thought it to be root of date plant...just a wild guess...the red circular item confusing me..

Posted using Partiko Android

@steemflow haha, it has been guessed now, it was a sago palm :D

Okay now I'm completely lost.. This could be so many things. I have a lot of guesses in my head but I'm not sure if any of them is correct. You are way too good at this game lol

Check out the hint now in the post for more information. :D

A pomegranate? :D

Hey @heartscally, thanks for stopping by, it's not a pomegranate but I have added a hint now, so feel free to guess again. :D

some kind of moss?

Thanks for stopping by, it's not moss, I have added a hint above, feel free to guess again :D

Weed ... ...

haha, not the first to guess that funny enough, it's not it though, I have added a hint in the post now to give you some extra odds.

Is it parasite on a living item? Hmm

No its part of the living thing, a hint has been added now :D Check it out in the post and welcome to the @asapers, thanks for following them through to me :D

Oh man.. I have something in my mind! Throat? Skin?

@fruityexplorer haha no throats or skin in sight, it was a sago palm tree.

Woww! Surprisingly! Doesn't look like it at all! Good job

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Haha, even my hubby was like wtf is that to this image. It would be a pretty funked up tounge if it was lol. Hint: I found this in Brisbane

We're in trouble if the hint is Brisbane!

Haha thats not the hint, just a bonus tip haha.

Persimmon?
Since I have no clue what may be growing in Brisbane. Looks like some fruit on a shrub.

Haha, me neither, after more research, it isn't even naive to Brisbane. :-/ but it is a plant and I have added a bigger cut of the image to view too.

Is it Red Palm Seeds?

@stever82 nope sorry it was a sago palm from Japan.

Palm Tree Fruits ! :)

@anutu haha close, it was the seeds from a sago palm tree, from Japan.

What is this?

That is the question. Haha.. come back next week to see what it was.

Coral

@jbreheny nope it was a sago palm from Japan. :D No under the sea today!
