Competition Idea

[ynneb]

I am trying to think of some more fun ideas for competitions.
I need ideas that will alow for lots of variable input from the entrants.

This is a test to see how well the guess the sound idea will work.
Please post in this thread what you think this sound is. Be as specific as you can.
The closest answer wins a burnt out capacitor.

EDIT: I am also thinking of mixing ten songs with 1 second segments from each song. The first person to list all the songs and artists wins. Would this be a good idea for a give away comp? I need to come up with ideas other than just drawing competitions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I will announce what the sound is in a couple of days. ( Specific time of announcement is not necesary)

Benny's 66' Ford Falcon throwing a conrod through the side of the engine block?
p.s. Benny if I was living in the States I'd sue you for an onslaught of an epilepsy attack caused by your new avitar while trying to decipher it! he he! I reckon that Evodyne must have videod it then slowed it down on the replay.

That sounds like a surface planer for wood to me.

I think a good competetion would be to design a Mach3 screen layout. It's probably a bit much work for a competition. Unless it's a really unmissable giveaway.

I'm sure a few will agree. Mach3 is in need of a nicer looking frontend.

Yes, beano, I agree.
I am trying to work out some competitions that are not only stacked in the graphic artists favour though. I need to be as balanced as I can, so as to include as many as possible.

Um ...no.....you are all wrong so far with your guess.

Dust collector! I first thought it was an electric toilet!

Mike, what kind of dust collector sounds like that? How about a lawn tractor?

[ynneb]

Nup non right so far.
Lol turnite, what is an electric toilet, does it poo for you?
It could be a dust collector that sucked up a stick and suddenly jammed, but no.

Reminds me of one of the torpedo space heaters close up, kicking on and then off.

My guess is a power generator
