Ouch, a pumpkin and a PowerPC Mac.
Ya. That's a bit tough. Most people don't have either right now. Not to mention the few people doing this.
Easy. You didn't say it had to be carved Just came back from the pumpkin patch today. Can't carve 'em till near Halloween or they rot.
Challenge: A picture of a Mickey Mouse with an original white iPod shuffle (the thumb drive type). The picture must also include the standard MR Scavenger Hunt sign, with user name and date. Deadline is September 28, 2011 at 12:00a MST.
[EDIT] I just realized that winking smilie is wrong. Well, that's what happens when you do it at midnight. Hahaha.

Hey Peace, don't you think that the iPod Shuffle is even more rare?
Ya. Says the one who probably has one.

Hahaha. I have a "clippy" shuffle in my closet, but nooo, it has to be the original white one.
I think this thread is headed toward more and more difficult challenges. Pretty soon we're going to need Rolex watches next to Obama who's holding the appropriate sign.
I'm staying optimistic though.
At least I made a challenge in which I don't even own the object so there is no way I can win that point.Hahaha. I have a "clippy" shuffle in my closet, but nooo, it has to be the original white one.

Oh I am. Not really playing for points.Then you should be ready to dock down your point.
(R)renewed, there are a few things that concern me.
Firstly, when the challenger is not able to complete the challenge, he then loses a point, but then what stops the challenger from making another difficult challenge? Basically, why does the challenger get to start another challenger after failing once? This raises a question. Who should be the one to start another challenge after a failed challenge?
Secondly, are there any regulations against choosing something that only the challenger and a few others would have in their possession? The challenger could potentially keep giving him or herself the point after waiting 3 days.
[I am aware there are a few general rules, but what is there to stop someone from sandbagging the competition or getting too specific in their challenge?]
Thirdly, (I forgot what my third concern was.) sorry.
Thanks.
Oh and also, should there be a mercy rule?

I believe that when the OP posts his challenge and no one completes it, but he does, he just doesn't get docked a point.(R)renewed, there are a few things that concern me.

I think it should be the person who was last. They get a point reduction so it is a "punishment" for not being able to do it themselves.
Because IMO it is a game and supposed to be fun and interesting. If someone wants to give crazy hard challenges because they themselves can accomplish them then that's just sad. If it happens we will address it.
Just saw this. This is correct. With this it allows the OP to complete a challenge and keep their current points or if they can't they are deducted one because that usually indicates it was too tough. They can then present a new challenge either way..

And dan... guns are included because of different gun laws around the world. Some people can possess them easily and some can't.

Agreed. That makes the most sense.
Honestly, I figured someone here would have a 1st gen shuffle and this would've moved on by now. Sorry for the wait guys!
