One of the former 2nd place images has been DQ'd because it was taken a day too early; the photographer counted wrong :-(
Congratulations to our new Yellow Ribbon and and HM images. |

Sorry for the trouble caused folks, I feel so stupid.
I think i am OK with my camera-work, but does someone have an abacus to spare? |

Please, no worries.... I love that image (we obviously all did) and you might not have shared it had it not been for that challenge! |

Oh no! :(
Well, still a 10 in my mind, and I agree with penny. I'm glad you calculated wrong. We would have missed so much if it hadn't been entered.
The flaw was that it was the wrong date. ;)

Yeah, here in Taiwan, abacuses are (still) extremely popular. Most elementary school kids are good at using those.
Btw. If you need an electronic calculator.... I am collecting calculators and have around 4000 calculators at home :)
my website dedicated to Casio calculators is a reference for many. www.casio-calculator.com
Sorry to hear about the DQ. It was one of the only "real" flawed images in the top.

| well of course herfotoperson is too young to need that sort of abacus. nonetheless we mourn the loss of the ribbon but continue to celebrate a most 10-worthy shot. |

I may have something for your collection, from the 1970s? |

I do have this old adding machine that may be able to count up to 7, although it only has buttons from 1-5 in each row, and is calibrated for the pound system, not metric.
