MacGyver Challenge. Are you up for it?

[Sannum]

Name an object, tool, or task. How would MacGyver improvise these items with the most basic supplies? After you name the supplies needed, name another object and someone will reply. Repeat.

MacGyver's cell phone battery is dead. What does he have in his pocket to make the call to save a girl-scout troop?

[Ready4Change]

1. He's got some pennies.

In a nearby field he finds some potatoes. He pounds the pennies into wire and makes a potato battery, and completes the call.

Now he finds out that the girl scouts are trapped on the face of a cliff. He needs to get there fast, but his car has a flat tire, and the spare is missing. How does he fix the car?

2. He tears the rubber from the sole of his shoe

and with a lighter, molds it into the perfect shape to plug the flat...he then uses the bladder from his hydro-pack as a bellows to inflate said tire...

He gets to the cliff, and realizes the scouts are far below, and he has no rope...what will he do now?

4. GMTA

and so do we...

[Salviati]

6. He calls the Aasgard

Thor comes, and after building a device designed by McGuiver after implanting the knowledge of the ancients into his mind, they resuce the girl scouts, and then erase their memories of said events...

Oh wait, wrong show...nevermind...

3. Gets a tin of rubber cement

and patches the flat, natch.

He gets to the cliff, and the girl scouts are already hanging over the edge. He doesn't have a rope. How does he lift them to safety?

8. Using his awesomely bad 80s hair cut

He fashions a rope from his own body hair and lifts the scouts to safety. However night comes quickly and they need to build a fire, but there is no tinder and no wood; only a shallow iron pan and flint. How does he build a fire?

5. He rubs the dead cell phone battery against his hair

It creates a static discharge that powers up the battery

7. He rigs a wire or paper clip and hooks it up to the car battery somehow,

maybe through the cigarette lighter....

I have an autographed picture of RDA signed: "To Gloria: Keep up the good work!! Richard Dean Anderson "Mac" (had kids write to MacGyver after I taught them library skills using the "laser" bit from the Holy Rose two-parter and we all got autographed pics---oh, yeah...I wrote a LONG letter myself describing how MacGyver motivated this bunch of 5th graders with learning problems) :-)

9. He has a lemon drop. He melts it with a lighter and uses the citric

acid to make a temporary source of power for his battery. ???

He has a match and makes smoke signals the boy scout troop over the hill can read?

He turn the tin foil on a back of juicy fruit into a conductor to leech power from a bottle of apple juice in his knapsack?

He takes the hot pack out of his pocket and opens it up to form a heat source that will be converted into electricity by boiling a small amount of water, turning the waterwheel made out of his key-chain, and juice up the battery?
