You scratch your head, thinking hard for an answer, and you think about how hard you've been scratching your head........ hey this just isn't right!

--Snap!--


You bring yourself back in time, memories of the past darting through your mind --


--the first person you saw
---your first laugh
---- your first attempt at breast milk bottle
----- your first walking moment
------ your first time running
-------- your 1000th attempt at older breast milk bottle ------------ *zip*


------------ your very FIRST TOY! The most important thing in life!


--Snap!--

And it's costing you your life these days. Let's do a little recap :


With the way fuel prices are going up, oh what're you so going to do?!

Why you freaking make Origami Toys of course!

Why should you even bother??

Because some smart guy with the name of Christopher Beaumont have created extremely good DIY paper crafts. It's so good that you'll be convinced instantly thanks to the conversation I had with him earlier on :



Mr.Goober :Christopher Belmont, why these?

Christopher : "Simply print, cut and fold your model into a cute and fun paper toy."

Mr.Goober : So...you don't really care if people mistook you as part of those game boy castlevania series huh, you Belmont family you?

Christopher : "Simply print, cut and fold your model into a cute and fun paper toy."

Mr.Goober : ..you even have all those great characters from George Lucas, Marvel comics, Nintendo and *choke* Ultra mans?! What the?? You went into some geek school?

Christopher : .........

Christopher : "Simply print, cut and fold your --------- OOOOFFFFFfffff"



Wellllll...Chris is down for a while so let's take a look at some examples cubeecraft.com has to offer :

Including some of my favourites :

Sam and Max!


I've always wanted to cube Sam up, but this is too much :P




Indiana Jones - And the Kingdom of Boxed Skull


And hey theres' even Kirby!
And and and...

Mario and Resurrected Goomba!



Each characters come with their foldable layouts like this :
You just need to print 'em out and cut them silly.




Then with a little bit of patience..





Tada!!


And that was my first attempt
reducing the ever rising gas prices.



Next week, we'll see how we can save trees by not wasting papers.

Skipped and unsure what's going on?

Commentary

On This Challenge :

Contestants were tested for their ability to pay attention to details.

They were challenged to list all 10 differences
out of two mirrored photos.

7 contenders stepped forward -
but only one is chosen as the victor.

_Butt - The earliest participant. She wickedly went on to
the challenge knowingly everyone's asleep at this hour.
Her initial answers were incomplete. She later continued
with additional 2 points herself, laughing all the way
to papercrazy - "original ideas are not meant to be stolen!"
..okay I made the last part up.


Pinkcotton - The 2nd participant. With a eeky scream,
"eeeeeeeee i only found 3!!!!!!!!" and no understandable
points listed out, no points could be given. Not
even after a free lunch.



Papercrazy - The challenge continued with papercrazy. Because
she's so used to keeping every papers known to mankind,
she knowingly stole _butt's list and added another
2 answers.



Kenny Ng - It was then that Kenny, who was already smirking
behind the scene, quickly jumped out and slapped everyone out
with 10 solid points. But was it enough?!




Wayne - Far away in another island, came Wayne. No man's an island,
but a picture can surely draw more! With an artistic talent,
10 circles were drawn onto the picture with confidence
of words he uttered; "I'm the winner!"



Chen - Chen started hallucinating around 11 in the morning, and
decided to continue a little later. Little later it did not!!
With tired eyes and continued hallucination, she whispered
her final answers with a doctored photo 11 hours later.



Redsponge - Just when we all thought the competition was over,
around the corner of a washbowl, came squeezing with
awesome power that spills water when provoked -
Redsponge arrived, brashly muahahaing for the host
to check her answers.

Two pictures, 7 contestants - 10 Differences.

Who shall be crowned the winner in this week's challenge?


Contestants were judged according to their
submission time with 10 complete answers.


6 finalists survived :

Kenny Ng, you had the fastest submission time and most hit points.

Redsponge, a behind the scene email revealing the answers was a though thing
to do. It took out some of your submission time.

Wayne, you were challenged as a designer, and your confidence to win this round
has put up a challenge to the rest. You listed 10 points.

Chen, delaying your answers was a risk. But you took it with great heart and
posted up the photo with hope. But was it enough?

_Butt, awaken early in the morning to list out the answers gave u an early advantage.
It was a display of speed and great anticipation. You completed the 10 points
later.

Papercrazy, it was pretty smart of you to reuse _Butt's list as part of your answers.
Perhaps this was the only way to win smart, not hard?

---------- and now the results ----------

Chen, the risk you took to delay your answers had sacrificed your chances of winning.
I'm sorry.

Wayne, the confidence you had was challenging to the rest. As a designer, the ability
to spot on different objects in complicated scene in such a timely manner
gave you the winning hat. But you, have not listed out 10 correct points.

_Butt, addition of 2 more points at a later time could've been won if you were careful.
You too, did not win the challenge. I'm sorry.

Papercrazy, with the emergence of copy and paste technology, what you did was truly unique.
Unfortunately, _Butt's list were not correct. Adding two more points to it further pushed you away from victory.

...That leaves the two of you.

Redsponge, your answers were not viewed by anyone. A unique experience.

Kenny Ng, You had the fatest submission time and most hit points, congratulations.

One of you shall be named the winner.

Will you please step forward upon hearing your name?

REDSPONGE, YOU ARE THE WINNER !!!!
Congratulazioni!!



I'm sorry Kenny, you lost. You were very close. If only you had been earlier. Redsponge was
the first to spot the final difference in the picture, the chinese wording on the yellow and red banner.


Redsponge, you shall be receiving a mysterious and utterly weird gift from me
very soon~~



Once again, congratulations to Redsponge!

and..
Thanks everyone for playing~
