Are you getting tired of the Macro Monday puzzles yet? I’m beginning to wonder if they’ve outrun their time here on The Depp Effect … let me know your thoughts!
Anyway, here’s today’s little poser for you. I’m not even going to make a guess as to whether this is easy or difficult. Just take a look and tell me what you think …
While this is something which is pretty good at what it does, there are other ways to achieve the same thing. It’s such a common object, though, that I’m pretty sure all of you will have seen or used one yourselves at some time. The design hasn’t changed much since I first remember seeing one, and that was in the 1950’s.
Made to be useful, this one, and though you can get some which are more aesthetically pleasing, the decorative aspect is purely incidental to what you do with them.
Not much more I can tell you about this, I think, so off you go and add your guess in the comments below. The answer will be added to the bottom of this post tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, UK time, in the form of the usual picture link, so do pop back then and take a peek.
Oh, and I’m expecting at least half of you to get this one right!
And you didn’t disappoint me, did you, my preciousssses? Well done! I’m not going to split hairs on this one so I’m going to pronounce DMB, Mother Theresa, Camilla (Lillagul), Bom, Jabblog, Mara, Babs, and Granny Grimble the winners this week, although strictly speaking, only Granny and Jabblog got it perfectly right. Especially well done, you two! Everyone else, go here for the picture! And thanks for playing!
OK, I will play nice this week, and I am going to risk an early guess. That way, if I get it right, I look like a genius, but if I get it wrong, well, it is not like I had any other guesses to hlep me did I? Oh, yes, my guess – here it is – a ring binder. Ta da!

Dunno, but interesting! Wishing you well! Have a grand week!

Every week when you show the answer, I bop myself in the head and go “oh, that was sooooo easy”. Well almost every week. But every week I look at it and think “I should know this, I suspect”, but I don’t and the picture never gives me the answer and I just blame it on those brain cells that have died with the passage of time. And know that really, it’s because sometimes my imagination lacks and I’m just dense. So be it!
Long way of saying I don’t have a clue.

I’m afraid I am in the other half. Not a clue!

A disposable camera.
My best lame guess. 😉
.-= Sistertex at Spacial Peepol´s last blog ..Today In My Backyard =-.
not a clue.
.-= Monica´s last blog ..intensity & balance =-.
I should say something original, shouldn’t I? But I’m going to have to go with what Don’t Bug Me said and say it’s a binder.
.-= Mother Theresa´s last blog ..We have a winner! =-.
Um, it’s not a speaker, is it? My brain hasn’t woken up yet (that’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it)!
.-= Shrinky´s last blog ..Did I Ever Tell You About The Prostitute Interview =-.
I think it´s a binder.
Hope google translated this right 🙂
.-= Camilla “Lillagul”´s last blog ..Macro Monday =-.
I’m going with binder as well. It was the metal circle that gave it away for me.
😀
.-= Bom´s last blog ..Chasing Cycas Zambalensis =-.
I think DBM is correct – either a ring binder or a lever arch file.
.-= jabblog uk´s last blog ..Macro Monday – Mellow Yellow Monday =-.
I recognized it, but didn’t know from where. Thanks for Don’t Bug Me who gave the answer I was looking for…
.-= Mara´s last blog ..Crowd surfing =-.
Well, I think it has already been guessed – a ring binder, or I’ll take a second shot and say a box file.
.-= babs´s last blog ..My absolutely priceless DVD =-.
I reckon it’s a lever arch file. None of my ring binders have holes in them, but my lever arch does.
.-= Granny Grimble´s last blog ..THE FUN STARTS! =-.
i’m clueless. have a great week ahead.
.-= life ramblings´s last blog ..My World – Hiking tour in Ihlara Valley =-.
The scanning number throws me off completely!
Interesting and challenging as always, Jay! :))
.-= petra michelle´s last blog ..Stress and Meditation =-.
I’m not sure. I don’t think it’s a binder. I tried to cheat and scan the barcode with my droid, but it didn’t work. Regardless, I think it’s cool and I’ll check back for the answer.
I have a ‘guess the photo’ post scheduled for 5:30AM EST 17-nov on my blog and it also happens to have been shot with a macro lens. I think you might enjoy it.
Oh man, I have NO IDEA as usual!
.-= meleah rebeccah´s last blog ..Possible Once In A Lifetime Opportunity =-.
I have never seen a binder that looks like that. I guess I don’t get out much! 😉
.-= Sistertex at Spacial Peepol´s last blog ..I’m Thinking…Pumpkin Pie! =-.
I would have NEVER guessed that was a binder! Wow. You always take such great Macro Mondays!
