#Physics / #mechanics #puzzle.
In the picture below, a blue ceramic 500ml bowl weighing 330g has a white silicone cover on it. A hand holds the bowl+cover in mid air.
The cover was just placed lightly on the bowl before it was picked up.
What is holding the bowl up?
(I have my own ideas that I'll put in a reply tomorrow)

Today's #puzzle was pleasantly straightforward. I enjoy those as reminders that before following #MinuteCryptic the techniques were fully opaque to me.

Mount Rainier, a.k.a Tahoma surrounded by vibrant autumnal colors, many shades of gold under a clear blue sky, viewed through a window at Paradise just few days ago. Hikers are walking along the Skyline Trail in the colorful autumn landscape, enjoying the sunny fall day.

Wicked Wonderful Wordies - #wordplay #wordies #idiom

Happy weekend from here, #puzzle fans!

Idioms or common phrases (American/English) are represented by the position, shape or arrangement of words in or around the puzzle frame.

Can you figure out this week's wordie? It would be wicked wonderful if you can.

Please use CW to submit your answers, thanks. Give everybody the chance to guess.

Hint: ordinary

Wicked Wonderful Wordies
a visual idiom puzzle
------------------------------
description
The word "run" built from repeated use of the word "mill" to form the letters.
------------------------------
Explanation:
Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame. The arrangement can be significant, and might be the key to recognizing the idiom.

The puzzle can be difficult to solve because the idiom or common phrase may not be common to the person trying to solve the puzzle.

Sometimes there is an "AhHa!" moment, though.

Answers and an archive of the puzzles is available at http://runeman.org/wordies. — Wicked Wonderful Wordies a visual idiom puzzle ------------------------------ description The word "run" built from repeated use of the word "mill" to form the letters. ------------------------------ Explanation: Typically, some kind of text is arranged inside, or somewhere around a square frame.

The wooden veneer around the outside of my brass puzzle box, with toki pona laser etched into it.
