#76 - Yellow - Close Up - hex set

Guest architect Justin Berkovi worth 19 points.

Ok. Now this is gonna be a bit stupid but I don't have a scanner but I thought I'd start a thread anyway.

We have 6 close up pictures of items that we have to identify.

So far, these are my rather strange thoughts:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1. No idea - some sort of reflector or giant metal pencil or the lid of my teapot come to think of it...
2. A can of aerosol (possibily WD-40?)
3. Maybe a wheel inside a machine (printer/fax) or the 'feet' of a office chair (the type with wheels - you know)
4. Ear piece of earphone
5. Those LED light things that are in kids (little and big alike) trainers
6. Loaf of bread or pastie or crossiant (spelling?) Hmmm... freshly baked bread...


In other words... help. Need a good scan. Need a break.

grrrrr, another card with several answers and plenty of variations possible on several of the answers!

Anyways, i've tried a bunch of variations, all with no luck.

my best guesses so far are:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1: Coffee pot
2: WD40 / Aerosol / Spray can
3: Lighter / Cigarette lighter
4: earphone / headphone
5: Trainer / shoe / (any variation you like....) (it's an 'air' bit in the sole)
6: Croissant

(1) Alternate lines and 3's will get you within two steps
(2) Watch out for the special case! (3) /0
Is no-one gonna try this? Sad
