Im from MN 8-)
KTH -- i have never hear of this event before. Does it involve building a container to keep some object warm as long as possible? I know for liquids this type of container is called a thermos. :lol:

Yeah it's pretty much as good of a thermos you can build. I was stuck on the vacuum part of the thermos so i stuck with insulation.

Well a thermos is actually pretty simple, its just a double walled container with a vacuum in between the two walls. Of course making one might be slightly harder, you might need a vacuum pump to pull good vacuum.
