So apparently I am not the only one that cannot read the largest red fonts in the main thread - it's really the easiest part to miss. Maybe I am color (and size) blind? inboost had a couple good question, even if he posted them in the wrong place 1) round dial, but not round case is good for #15, right? 2) What is the youtube theme/topic? And I will add: 3) I. A form of non lethal ____ ? We get what I think are examples in parentheses, and I supposed it was meant to read non lethal WEAPON. If a wiffle bat qualifies, would a nerf gun qualify too? And finally, an assist to anyone in North America that doesn't have a sundial in their yard, and doesn't plan on making a DIY one... there is actually a sundial society that tracks all of the public ones you can go to: sundials.org/sundial-registry/Who knew ?

Also a thought for the problem of lots of people completing all 10 challenges with all 3 parts... perhaps for another year, but say there was an extra point for the "best" in each category. So if 10 people do 1.A.I - one of them is selected as the "best" and gets an extra point. If only one person done 2.B.II because it is too hard - they would also by default win the "best" on that category.
I suspect with that additional wrinkle it would be harder to not end up with a clear winner at the end. Who knows how you judge best - maybe level of complexity of the submission, quality and prep / planning, etc?
Just a thought. Then you would be worried not just about achieving a specific challenge - but really doing it the best / craziest you can.

Round dial in a not round case is OK
Youtube video topic is up in the contest thread
I guess the whiffle ball bat was sort of a joke.
Real non lethal is preferred but I guess maybe a Nerf gun.
But then we would have to let in paint ball guns and Airsoft guns.
And if you point one of those at the police well then maybe you will be part of : A. A crime scene / roadside shrine (bonus street cred if the police tape is still up)
So how about Super Soaker water guns then?
You could load those up with bleach water or battery acid or muriatic acid or gasoline or . . . . .
I'm pretty sure there is a scene from Batman (1989) where the Joker has a water gun. I know he has the acid spraying flower on his lapel but I'm pretty sure there was a water gun in there somewhere as well.
I think we'll stick with mace / pepper spray / tazer / stun gun / ballistic rubber bullets.
You can even buy all of them in Communist California so they must be OK.

RE: The video:
To be clear, the watch in the video doesn't have to be the WRUW competition watch right?

The video can contain / showcase any watch however you have to say / speak / sign language a mention to the Wrist Sushi forum or have Wrist Sushi . Com written / displayed / showcased (no screen shots) in your video.
If these jackass' can make videos and get views there is no reason anyone here's video shouldn't get at least 100 views by the end of the Contest.
Jus' Sayin'
PS: you can't just stand there holding a watch and saying "Wrist Sushi" once every 15 seconds for a minute cuz that is my idea ™®©
I also hold the rights to the & ™®© movement
Jus' Sayin' twice

@cd_god what do you think about letting members in dramatically different time zones PM you for the next day's color/mark when they're way outside of our time zone. It seems like a legitimate issue to lose the day waiting for that info. The folks in Australia like tritto are 15 hours ahead of you so it seems like a fair concession to ask for.

Colour of the day and the WRUW post is created at 00:00 UTC / GMT which is the earliest that ANYONE can legitimately post a qualifying entry IF they live in that time zone.

At 0:00 UTC it is almost noon in Australia.

I just realized that GMT and International Date Line are not the same.
HOWEVER if people kept 4 markers in their car and since everyone has a gubment tracking device that they can log onto the interweb they could access the secret code.
I will try and post the colour of the day earlier for all of the Australiastanians

Yes, all 3 must be in the same picture.
If your watch is in focus but something else that is required is out of focus in the background such as a mailbox take a second picture from the same angle that has the background in focus.

You can blur your face and last name
EDIT: Not sure how to play this one.
Noone else in the picture will ever know.
However if you're hiding from the FEDS they can use facial recognition to track down and use AI to find to correlation and pinpoint the common denominator all in the people in picture have in common such as
'Member when they used to have to actually do work and not just upload some shit and walk away
And yet there are hundreds of thousands of criminals walking the streets who already have warrants on them or are wanted for major felonies who they don't bother to try and locate and if they happen upon them the courts let them loose back on the streets
If the yearbook photo page or class only photo page is out of focus that is fine or just show the cover if it is a big high school yearbook.

I don't want to upload photos of people without permission. Also this was only 15 years ago and Finland is a small place, here's and example: My wife just bumped into a Finnish/American couple who moved to South Dakota around 6 years ago. Wife is from SD, husband is Finnish. We haven't really been in contact with them. We have moved during this 6 years and they did not know this. Well my wife saw them on our new flat's parking lot yesterday. It took them a while to recognize her.

3: A watch with the same colors as your beer / hard liquor / wine (3 color minimum) The watch strap counts as a color C: The matching bottle / can / cardboard wine box with a fancy curly q twisty plastic drinking straw in it
3: Same colour as the liquid or same colour as the container?
C: Matching container with what? Wine in its original box, beer in its original can etc.?

Colors of your watch and strap match the colors of the container / packaging of the drink.
You need 3 colors
You need to have a fancy twisty straw IN the container.
If you go for the third part you have to be in front of or in a bar or brewery.

Does movie theatre have to be open at the time when I take the shot?
Theatre in question is in busines, but wasn't just open at the time when I took the photo.

The theatre just has to still be in business.
If you walk in the lobby to take your picture you get more street cred than taking it outside.
