What! Only 9 cm off!? (That's 0.64%!) Personally, I would have given myself extra points for that ;-)

Yes, realy amazing Manuel! That remainds me of a yesteryears quest, you did also very well. It was the amount of weight quest, right?

Tomorrow will be selection of reset buttons.
You will have enought time and the quest should not be too hard.
I will publish the image at 0:00 and you are welcome to post answer (with a 23:00 time stamp) here or leave me a message via email >artaromaNO@SPAMgmx.net< or pm.

2nd: ren: 2288 points/He knows the measure of average laminate now.

190mm! (And I *did* apply that knowledge) (estimated the NMS @ 100 cm ;-))

Wow, Manuel is the freak of the day! Wink
(Could you actually RL measure most stuff?)

Cables were long back in the day Smile

@ pencioner, does this approve my thesis? Are you wearing glasses?
Anyway, 128 points for you! Great job!

it did look familiar, but I was thrown off by the white color?

Samor with his correction & 50 cm diff? Tongue Wink

The original guess was way off as I took standard pc keyboard cable length x 11 machines... I should've immediately realized it was wrong as I've had 8250's myself.
My second guess was based of Meit's pic of 8250 cables but I was thrown off a little by other comments and made a correction in the wrong direction.... otherwise I would've come up with 1320 (because I incorrectly guessed they were 120cm) which however still wasn't enough for first place.

Let's be honest: I was lucky to make a good guestimate Smile

A bit overexposed, but that did´nt matter as it was so out of focus, nobody would recognize it. I thought.

the 96cm gdx posted is the exact length of a nms cable from keyboard to connector (checked that) Smile

I didn't realize the connector was 6cm. It's more like 3cm. So Hamlet, zoom in on your connectors please Tongue

Hamlet's remark that he thought Sony's keyboard has a shorter cable made me reconsider. It would've been obvious that hey're shorter since they're plugged into the front of the console while the NMS has to travel around it to the back side...

I will check that tomorrow but even that wouldn´t kick Manuel from his victory. That was really close! I guess he has all MSX equip in his basement. Twice.
