Any more guesses? Because I'll be revealing the answer in the next day or two. So if you haven't made a guess yet, you better do it quick! :D

The numbers always intrigue me with these polls. 182 people have viewed this thread but only 8 people have submitted a vote!  :-\  I guess that means 174 people visited this thread but didn't vote!   ::)

Same thing's happened at my What Is It? thread. To quote an abbreviation I learnt here at BetterMost - WTF!   ???

Lots of those hits are guests and "guests". With normal guests I mean actual people who are lurking, but not logged in, therefore can't vote. And "guests" are so called web spiders/web-crawlers/web robots, "an automated software agent that gathers pages from the World Wide Web" (from wikipedia). For example, they look for keywords to categorize sites for search engines.

Also, in addition to guest/spider views, many of us have probably visited this thread multiple times.  I know I've checked in on this thread a bunch of times (I don't really know exactly how many), but only voted once.

Yeah, I look in most days, to see what others have voted for and WAITING for David to put up the answer.

Hurry up Daviid, I need to know whether I'm having roast lamb for dinner on Sunday.

But then again are we supposed to watch the sheep, not eat em....

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Okay, I will post the answer a little later this evening. I will give you a hint though. ONE person did answer it correctly!

So somebody will be winning a lamb! :D

I'm going with light refraction (tho I guess diamond inspection would work too) because I think the round insets in the case are for holding lenses.  ???
