do you need the model or what
June 6th, 2009
Atleast I personally think “please note that you don’t need to provide the actual make or mode..” means that it’s enough to know what that thing is generally, not the exact model.
June 6th, 2009
Hm… there’s no fun in this when you don’t have to guess what the thing is.
=)

Hi Kelly as Zake mentioned you don’t need a model just what the board is used for.

Hi Samuel,
You still have to guess what it is at a high level. For example if you said it is a circuit board or a gaming system that answer would be wrong.

It’s easy to guess the general type of item. The manufacturer and model (yes, I know it’s not needed) takes a bit more hunting to get. I haven’t found this actual shot yet.

I found the exact model. Clue: He left something on the picture he shouldn’t have.
BTW: I am not the same Samuel as earlier

Hard one !

Just curious: what is it?

Winner announced.

What was the thing he left in the photo he shouldn’t have? I’m still missing what that could possibly be. Any word on what model camera this is from?

I’m guessing that referred to either the Fuji logo on the big chip or the XD logo on the battery door… It’s a Fuji Finepix f20. I couldn’t find the exact picture, but did find this one with the lens installed.
