Yay. Bird is circled. And in case you can't tell, there's a closer one.

Post a picture of a house of cards being toppled. MR info needed.

Note: This house of cards needs to include at least 5 cards. Nothing too intricate.

What a great challenge!

I wrote my MR info on a piece of paper, built a house of cards (Disneyland deck 🙂), pushed the paper into the house using a backscratcher, and filmed it with my iPhone with the other hand. Here are five frames showing the action. Click for larger size.

Approved.

Approved.

 

[Doctor Q]

Post a photo of an outdoor sign or billboard for a business with a letter Q in the business name, e.g., a store's name or organization's name on the outside of the building or a billboard showing that business's name. Include your MR info, e.g., show it in the foreground. It must not be a sign that you had any part in creating. Paper posters and signs and window displays don't count.

Good one!!

Here's the biggest Q I've encountered on a storefront sign, next door to the Apple Store in Ginza Japan.

But I'd rather see one of YOU find a Q sign and meet this challenge. Don't let time run out!

 

[Intell]

Dare I suggest, Quiznos? Don't have one near me, but it's a nationwide chain.

Time's up in just over an hour...

I actually went to Cardiff today specifically to look for a shop with the letter Q in it & I couldn't for the life of me find one!

...In despair I went to the Apple Store, picked up a free copy of Leopard 😉, traded my iPhone in for a new iPod Touch & drooled over the stunning new iPad screen.

Or any BBQ restaurant.

Trivia of the day: Two other students and I once designed and coded an entire operating system, which we named BBQOS. The other team members had names that began with B, and the Q was for me! 🙂

 

[Firestar]

5 minutes. :/

 

[JUiCEJamie]

I actually tried to fine one. Just couldn't.
The OP has already found one. So it's up to him to set a new challenge right?

My post above didn't meet the challenge because that's an old photo without the required MR info. Luckily, I planned ahead and told Mrs. Q I'd take her out for dinner tonite as long as we went somewhere with a Q in the name! Stay tuned. 🙂

 

[Doctor Q]

Here's my photo for my own challenge. I avoided losing a point here and I got husband points for taking Mrs. Q out to dinner.

​

New challenge: A shirt with a pencil and a pen sticking out of the pocket. MR info required. Pocket protector optional.

Yes I do. I hoping there's just enough time for at least a few more challenges... I hate losing 😀
