Challenge 2015 - Week 13

"Your mind is like this water, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle...the answer becomes clear."
-Master Oogway


This Week

An idea quickly jumped into my mind for this one. I wanted to make a composite picture with one side showing something through calm water and the other side showing the same thing with agitated water. The problem was what to put under the water. I looked back at the quote and figured that the word "Mind" should be involved.

I don't have anything brain-like (other than the animated character known as The Brain), so I looked for anything that included the word. I settled on the game known as Mastermind.

I found some bad news. Mastermind pieces float. I improvised with jewel cases (clear) which were taped over the pieces. I also had to add a plate to ensure the entire game would stay submerged. Initially, the game was still floating up. As water worked its way into everything, the game eventually sunk. Unfortunately, I couldn't get rid of some distracting air bubbles. From there, I combined three pictures: one with calm water and two with a mixer.

Challenge 13When the WATER is AGITATED, IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SEE this game of MasterMIND. IF YOU ALLOW the water TO SETTLE, the game becomes CLEAR. On the fourth attempt, the ANSWER was correctly guessed.
