1 today, so 1/10.

12 looked like a carpet to me, but the clue is throwing me off, so I'll second garlic

30 eraser sounds like a good guess to me too.

I got one today, so 1/10. I guessed garlic as well (but got online too late!). I've never seen an eraser of those colors before, just pink in that shape.

15 is a hard one so a clue is in order methinks.....it's filled with sand and brings delight to children :wink: Don't know if that will help or make it harder :lol: We shall see....

They are very common here, one end is supposed to be for pen the other for pencil, the pen eraser is not very good at erasing pen though! :doh:

Good luck everyone!

Yeah for #15, it puts me to 2/10! :D

These pictures are fascinating, but for the life of me I can't figure MOST of 'em out!

edited to add: although #22 looks like a coin to me.

Well done Diana it is a coin!

Luckily you were the only person to post the answer so far....I don't think I can accept edited to add in the future as I may not know when the edit has been done...I will accept it this time though because I know no-one else had posted the answer yet :D

None for me today. I was going to guess on the coin, but not being from the UK thought you'd want a specific one, so I opted out. Apparently I should have posted. :) You were very specific on wanting what the hand sanitizer was, so I was going from that (I guessed plastic wrapper/packaging on a soda or similar bottle).

I think the second thing, #22, is a nylon mesh type fabric with metallic dots... could be anything from a little bag or part of some clothing maybe? If it's anything specific to the UK/Europe (like a brand or whatever), of course I couldn't say.

None today, so still at one.

For 15 I'll guess a hacky sack. Can't think of another sand filled toy. Hopefully that's what you call them over there too. :)

I'm sorry if I have not made the instructions clear, maybe I should have described the game a bit better :doh:....I do not expect people to know specifics i.e. brands, currency of coin, etc as obviously people in the UK would have an unfair advantage...If I require a more specific answer I will state it when I post as in the case of the french knot, specifics will only really be expected on the stitchy related pics as, after all, that is what brings us together on this lovely site (and I know you are all experts :wink: )!

I didn't think I was being too specific about the hand soap I thought your original guess was soda or beverage bottle which I did say was on the right lines but wasn't quite right. I'm sorry if you feel I'm being a bit strict, but if someone would have guessed say washing-up liquid or soap I would have accepted that.

Hopefully I've cleared up any confusion now...the last thing I want to do is upset someone.....all I wanted to do was mix this bingo up a bit and do something a little different.

Well someone did guess what 15 is, they did actually state sand filled toy in their post, this is obviously not a hacky sack/bean bag/footbag thingy but it IS a sand filled toy so congrats to Tiffstitch for inadvertently guessing number 15!!

Image

Not a great pic, my microscope doesn't do well at distance shots! He is a funky coloured lizard full of sand and my daughter collects them. Every time we go to the seaside we end up coming home with another funky coloured sand filled animal, she has about eight now!

We now have five people tied for the fabric prize.......so there's still all to play for!

Okay todays picks are 13 and 18!! Don't know what is wrong with my random number generator, it seems to be picking all high numbers atm!!

13 @250x mag.
Image
13 @50x mag.
Image

18 @250x mag.
Image
18 @50x mag.

13 is a stitchy one....I would like a specific answer but I'm not expecting a brand name.

18 is a toughy, again this is something a child would take to school, the little coloured flecks are not embedded into the item, but they are on the inside of it......

Good luck :shamrock:

:) 1 for me lucky 13 brings me to 4/10. Is 13 a variegated silk or metallic thread?? though I've never seen a metallic thread that was variegated. So I'll go with green metalic thread. haven't a clue on 18.
