Times Mysterious Items Were Solved by Internet Users
It’s difficult to know everything, and sometimes we find objects that are a complete mystery for us. In these cases, internet users can solve this puzzle in just one minute. Here are some examples of mysterious puzzles that will challenge your brain.
1. “My husband and I heard a big crash at 5 a.m., like something had fallen off the roof. He found this feathery mass on the ground just now.”
Answer: “Ok, showed this to my wife (ornithologist and zookeeper of 15+ years). The inside very likely has fly eggs on it and the feathers are likely from a duck (down in the cut away section gives it away). But she has never seen a feathered mass grown off of a bird like this. So possible tumor that got pinched off the main body?”
2. “What is this metal bowl-shaped thing with a hollow handle/spout?”
Answer: “Part of a cream separator.”
3. “What is this padded satin item with ribbon ties and a hole in the middle? Appears possibly handmade, like a case for a beauty item.”
Answer: “It looks like it might go on top of a hanger (which is why there’s a hole in the middle). This would turn something like a smooth wooden hanger into one of those hangers with a satin finish/top to prevent light items like slips or lingerie from slipping off the hanger. The ties would be to secure it to the hanger, perhaps. Just a guess though!”
4. “Small plastic object. Has a cap that covers 2 small nubs on top.”
Answer: “I was over here assuming it was for 2 part epoxy.”
5. “Found this on the beach. It’s less than a foot long and seems to be a string with a bunch of little discs strung on it?”
Answer: “Those are whelk egg cases!”
6. “Belt contraption attached to the rear wheel of a Chevy Bolt”
Answer: “It looks like some homegrown charging system.”
7. “Black liquid that appears to have dripped from the ceiling, right underneath a light.”
Answer: “Bad ballast, they are potted with that goo.”
8. “Hollow small glass object with a weird opening. What is it?”
Answer: Glass vase/flower holder.
