    I have recently been struck with this amazing idea, shortly after reading Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5 book trilogy.
    If you have seen the movie, you will also know what I am talking about.

    This is a prize-free contest:
    -Remake the supercomputer "Deepthought"

    I know, best idea ever right? For those who don't know, Deepthought was a supercomputer built to calculate the meaning of life. It's famous answer was "42." It works great on Sandbox too, since it is sand-colored. And for those who partake in this challenge, please try to make it actual size, that'd be amazing.
    Also, I may actually put up a prize. But this is an extremely slight chance. Don't expect one.

    Nice idea, although Deep Thought is a big as a small city! Deep Thought's design is open to interpretation though, in the book Adam's doesn't really describe Deep Thought beyond its size, does he? I'll need to read it again.

    How about making its successor as well! Haha! Actual size!

    Haha I have some pics from the movie sketched, and I'm also gonna try to include the room with the Point-of-View gun :D
    I think it'll work best either in the sand, or on the "gridded" main floor.

    The Point-of-View gun? I don't remember that. I read the book 4 years ago and watched the film when it was on TV, so I may have missed some parts.

    I need to find that book!
