No, but it is nice to look at. Ice maybe ?
drsara January 21, 2010, 05:16 PM
tiles?
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 05:42 PM
No, this is neither ice nor tiles.
Martina Weber plus January 21, 2010, 06:40 PM
inside of your car ? ;-)
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 06:48 PM
No, this isn't in the car, I took this picture at home. :)

vinyl furniture?
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 07:30 PM
It's a plastic object, but not furniture.
drsara January 21, 2010, 07:41 PM
some kind of sports ball?
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 07:50 PM
Ahhh, nice guess, but no, it isn't sports equipment.
(I tagged it "macro" btw.)
helen birch January 21, 2010, 07:55 PM
stereo / electrical equipment?
Anker Heegaard January 21, 2010, 08:48 PM
A part of a toy?
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 08:51 PM
It isn't electrical, nor is it related to music or playing.
drsara January 21, 2010, 09:02 PM
electronic then, a detail of a part of a computer
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 09:22 PM
Can it be electronic without being electrical? :)
drsara January 21, 2010, 10:16 PM
well, I suppose not, but I thought there might be those who would make such a distinction! ;-)
my final guess - a container of some sort
GustavoG January 21, 2010, 11:25 PM
It is indeed a container of some sort. ;)
A very specific container...
striatic January 22, 2010, 04:12 AM
was it in the kitchen?
GustavoG January 22, 2010, 07:03 AM
No, not in the kitchen.
Martina Weber plus January 22, 2010, 11:41 AM
6mm Macro, hm ?
I hope it has nothing to do with weapons ?
looks a little like teflon ?
Give us more hints, pleeeaase ! ;-)
helen birch January 22, 2010, 12:49 PM
a laptop container?
GustavoG January 22, 2010, 03:09 PM
Nothing to do with weapons nor with computers, and it isn't teflon - it's plastic.

When I showed it on-screen to my daughter and wife, they were puzzled, couldn't recognize it. Then I said that it's an object we use daily - all of us - which caused my daughter to say "hmmm....", think about it for a very short while, go to another room in the house, and after a few seconds "a-ha!" - identified it.

How's that for a hint? ;)

Mirror frame?
Lori January 22, 2010, 09:04 PM
A mirror frame?
GustavoG January 22, 2010, 09:20 PM
No, it isn't a mirror frame.
drsara January 23, 2010, 12:52 AM
a storage ottoman
GustavoG January 23, 2010, 01:03 AM
It's a small object. You could hold it in your hand.
helen birch January 23, 2010, 12:05 PM
mobile phone / ipod case
GustavoG January 23, 2010, 06:00 PM
We don't own either. :*)
helen birch January 23, 2010, 08:12 PM
hairbrush
drsara January 23, 2010, 09:57 PM
toothbrush case
GustavoG January 23, 2010, 11:00 PM
>toothbrush case

Not that, but very close!

helen birch January 23, 2010, 11:30 PM
glasses/specs case
Martina Weber plus January 24, 2010, 09:20 AM
shavers case ?

now thats my last guess, I give up ! ;-)
helen birch January 24, 2010, 02:34 PM
yeah, I'm done too
GustavoG January 24, 2010, 08:36 PM
Just posted the solution, so if you give up you can take a peek. :)
GustavoG January 24, 2010, 08:36 PM
(In the riddle photo the box is closed, and the angle is directly from the side.)
Martina Weber plus January 25, 2010, 05:55 AM
