Week 21: 6/24/2015 - 9pm PDT 7/2/2015

These two CERN scientists are looking through some kind of optical apparatus. There is a plano-convex lens mounted on an adjustable arm. The scientists appear to be looking through a window while adjusting some controls.

Is this some kind of physics experiment? Could it be research into psychomotor acuity? Maybe the dark haired scientist is just getting her yearly CERN eye exam? You tell us!

This week's prize is a Teensy 3.1 from The Hackaday Store.

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Good Luck!

Using a high-index refractive lens two Cern scientists confirmed that the judges for the Hackaday Cern caption contest, in fact, do not have a disCernable sense of humor.

At least not within measurement error.

Evil Eve knew that this, older, model of an Interocitor only functioned as a Directed energy weapon as Alice was about to find out, or probably not.

The special effects associated with magic jewels in the electromechanical version of "Legend of Zelda" lacked a certain subtlety.

It's easy, you look through the lens, and rotate the handle. Then wiggle your other hand backwards and forwards to zoom in and out, and once you are totally happy then you can push the buttons to launch the rockets. We're thinking about calling it either Thermonuclear War or Missile Command. Of course this is all a simulation for now, once we get sign off for production we ARE going to have to make it a lot simpler.

  Are you sure? yes | no

See, Alice; now that we have mounted a shard of their world on the control sceptre the Dimensional  Dopplegangers are trapped and the Jabberwocke can be observed safely through the mirror. Now why is the Alice-double waving and pointing at me like that? Alice? Alice?!?!!

"And through this device, you can still see traces of Alice going through the mirror."
