Counting

Added by mock piratey turtle May 30th 2006 @ 3:35 pm

Count or measure something that has never been counted or measured before. How many CDs can you label with one sharpie? How long does it take for all the ketchup to run out of the bottle? How many times does a trafic light change in an hour? How many licks does it taket to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

What do you wonder about? Find out and let us know.

Proverb Proof

Added by rongo rongo April 11th 2008 @ 7:33 am

Perform an experiment to verify or disprove a common proverb, when interpreted literally. Can you really catch more flies with honey than vinegar? How many more? Does a stitch in time really save nine? Or does it only save seven? Please note that aphorisms or non-metaphorical proverb-like sayings are not acceptable for this task.

Haggling

Added by Brand January 12th 2009 @ 4:26 am

In this modern world you seldom get the chance for a decent bit of haggling. Rebel! Seize the chance to re-introduce the concept to market forces.

Go to a chain store, choose an item, find an assistant, start haggling. Failed efforts, in particular, should be great efforts.

Street-ster Eggs

Added by praximity July 26th 2009 @ 9:16 pm

Outside the United States imaginary streets and landmarks are frequently added into maps. This is so that if you make a map using government data without (typically) paying a large sum of money, they can catch you for copyright infringement.

Either find one of these places or make one up yourself (which would entail making or modifying a map, and - ideally - distributing it).

Make a proper marking for your place and/or hang out there for a day.

Seat Creation And Insertion Phase 1: Schematics

Added January 29th 2006 @ 8:41 pm

"The quality of any urban environment can be measured by whether there are convenient, comfortable places for pedestrians to sit."

Design a way to implement new, comfortable forms of seating in the city, or to convert an uncomfortable seating arrangement into a comfortable one.
You may start from scratch, or use already-existing seating schematics (like "The Bench") as a base for your work. In this phase you do not need to implement your system, only design it and begin to determine how it could be implemented.
