[QUOTE=lavalamp;235716]Assuming you're right retina. :wink:

PM me if you'd like to know before tomorrow some time.[/QUOTE]Nah, I can wait. If someone else gets it before then then I'll just try for the next one. Besides, I don't have PM working on this forum.

Just so as I can't cheat you all, here is a hash of my Q (if I get a chance to ask it).

SHA1: 598d24122d527b4812953a9c59cc8e4b70223d2c

Well I could ask,
18) Is it what retina thinks is the correct answer?
then me being right would precede retina being right and I would win later.
(But I won't, and I expect you want me to be a bit more specific.)


Edit: Oops. I knew what hash was, and I knew what a brownie was but I had assumed that a hash brownie was something American that was totally innocent! I've never used illegal drugs in my life. What an idiot.:blush:

18) Is the following true: NOT ( (it has a single user control, on borad to the unit) XOR (their are not physically attached the computer that they may be "used with", when in use))?
If both component are true the XOR fails, but the not makes it true. :)



BTW this fits all of the answers when read very carefully.

Aw, I think the answer to #17 gave it away. Here's a hash of my question (which I can't ask, since #18 has not been answered yet).

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;235727]NOT ( (it has a single user control, on borad to the unit) XOR (their are not physically attached the computer that they may be "used with", when in use))?[/QUOTE]Evaluates to true.

19) Is the unit, typically, only on when the user control is actively engaged?

Edit:
I am going to be AFT for about 6-7 hours. So, if the answer to 19 is 'yes';
20) Is it a laser pointer?

lavalamp 2010-11-06 15:43

"If both component are true the XOR fails", but equally, if both components are false the XOR also fails.

There is no user control, so for 19 the answer is no.

(20) Is it a transistor?

lavalamp 2010-11-06 16:11

No, but close.

That's all 20, anyone else want to have a guess before I reveal?

[QUOTE=lavalamp;235807]No, but close.
