I need some good ideas for 'time wasters' because I need to eat up a few seconds. Any ideas?!?!

Try a google search on 'water clock', lots of ideas.

Thx man

Last year, I went to Goodwill and bought an old copy of Scattergories, which has a mechanical timer that turns as it runs out. We had it hit a switch when the timer ran out and we were able to adjust it to different times

-Friction pads
- less steep inclined planes
- pouring sand
- long lines of dominoes

Use candles. They can burn string with a delay and r adjustable

But doesn't it say in the rules that you can have a max of 3 pre-lit candles?

Yes so true - it does say that in the rules. Why did they shut you down?!?! An idea I had is perhaps having a thick string melt over a candle after falling over it. Just a thought.

It did say it in the rules but burning something else (a string) is illegal. However, using it to heat up air and make it turn a fan blade? That's in specs.
