On 3/23/2010 at 11:51 AM, robotron said: Reveal hidden contents a diary hello robotron. Welcome to the Den! Your answer makes a lot of sense but not the one I have in mind. Please keep at it. Reveal hidden contents Fear I may have made this one more vague by trying to extend the double meaning of contrivance which noone has really fallen for. Will say this is indeed a tangible object smaller than a breadbox. I have faith it's still very gettable and will hold off with the rewrite/earlier version.
