    Yes, but it wasn't easy.

    Good exercise!

    On a big screen it was pretty visible. I probably would have missed it on my phone.

    Yes, but it took me a minute. Fun puzzle. Thanks for posting it.

    I just purchased one of V-Pick's glow in the dark picks. Made of some industrial-brightness glowing material. They would solve this problem in an instant. Just shut off the lights.

    It glows brighter than any glowing plastic I have ever seen, and does so for hours after only being in the light for maybe 20 minutes or so. Good sounding pick, too. I bought it as a novelty, but like it as a pick.

    The best part is, my cats think it is the best toy ever.

    I'm glad you found your pick. I wonder how many get sucked up by vacuum cleaners every year?!

    Hmmm, I just hope your fingers don't glow in the dark after using this pick...

    Thanks, I'll check them out. The one I have from V-Picks is really thick. I'd say 2mm.

    Easier to find than Dunlop Ultex, which I'm using quite a bit lately. Sort of a tan translucent with no real pattern, just a faint pic of a rhinoceros that wears off with a little use. I've dropped 'em, looked for 'em, and realized after 15 minutes I've been staring right at them, without the image registering.

    I'm looking for decent "clown barf" celluloid picks, or maybe I'll try one of those glowing ones...

    That's always been my one complaint about some great picks like Blue Chip, so many of them are brown or colored to imitate natural materials and they blend in with the carpet too well. If somebody could find a way to make CT55s in hi-viz orange I bet a lot of us would be willing to pay... well, probably about 40 bucks for them.

    Image lifted from this web site. No need for anyone to waste their time as there's no pick there.

    Sorry, there are no secrets on the internet.

    Sounds like the makings for a new Android game... any programmers out there? Must be a bazillion flatpick users in the world, there might be a market for such a game, ya never know... tablet version especially enticing sounding maybe... I've spent money (not much) on far sillier games.

    I'd even pay maybe a couple bucks for a "pro" version of such a game if it had enough levels and clever variety to keep it interesting, but not so difficult as to be pointlessly frustrating. My usual app requirements: it must work offline, and preferably would have the option where the user could set the app so that it allows the device to go into normal "sleep" mode so that if I fall asleep playing it, it won't keep the screen on forever and drain the battery. And no ridiculous permissions such as needing access to my microphone etc.

    Of course there is no pick. None of you believed I'd hide one of my picks in a place where I'd never find it again, did you?
