Well apparently i won the last one, so i have to post a new one, i have however been on holiday so its a bit late, my appologies. I hope I'm doin this right, here goes:

Rules - Figure out a unique solution to a puzzle and its goals using the inventry items at your disposal and a few items of your choice.

Voting - After the deadline is reached voting will begin so a winner can be chosen. (No one voted for me, an i still won, so theres still a chance if no-one likes you, go on... enter!)

Prize - The winner get the honour of posting the next puzzle time, what a prize. And the first runners up get to enter next time! (So can anyone, but the runners up can as well)

Scenario - Seeing as i just got back from an amazing ski holiday i thought I would make this weeks puzzle time snow/ski based. (loosely based on the time I lost a ski in 6 foot of snow and spent 20 mins looking for it). So here goes: You are trapped in a ice cave after escaping an avalance and must escape and get to safety (and maybe throw in a few sick trix along the way).
Within the cave is the body of a snowboarder that wasnt so lucky either, other than that it is pretty bare. The enterance is blocked by snow.

Inventory - Three or more of the following must be used along with up to three items of your choice (found on the body of the boarder) in the most unique way necesarry to complete the puzzle.
-One ski
-A broken ski pole
-A very large icicle
-A small shovel (recomended to be carried by all skiers going off piest, of course i was too stupid to carry one. Just to note this is too small to dig your way out with)
-Backpack
-Disgusting gurkin sandwiches
-Fizzy water
-A broken snow board
-Bandages
-Broken ski goggles
-A SWISS army knife
-Head torch
-Chocolate

Can you escape a death beneath the snow? (Unlike the boarder who couldn't, but we all know they arent much use, all they do is cut you up and wreck the snow)

Post entries bellow, voting will take place on the 27th of feb.

Good luck - Rich

PS - If i did any of this wrong mods feel free to edit, also its a pretty suckey puzzel cuz i couldnt thin of anything.
Seeing as I really shouldn't have to get up at such an ungodly hour as 7am, ill put my watch forward by 5 hours to make me feel better...

Lets see what I can remember.

Extra item: walky talky

LOOK AT anything
  Ego: "I can't see a thing. It's dark in here!"
USE head torch on ego
  Ego: "Ah, that's better! Double A batteries, don't fail me now!" (cave is now illuminated)
LOOK AT swiss army knife
  Ego: "It has every tool I could ever need- scissors, nail trimmers, magnifying glass, three kinds of screwdrivers, and what do you know! It even has a knife!"
LOOK AT dead skier
  EGO: "Ew. I don't think he'll be needing this walky talky anymore!" (Add broken walky talky to inventory)
LOOK AT snow.
  EGO: "Yup. Trapped in an ice cave. And boy howdy, is it cold!"
USE head lantern on snow
  EGO: "It's melting a little, but at this rate I'll get out of here in time for my younger brother's wedding. And he's only four!"
  EGO: "The light is too weak, and the beam is too dispersed."
USE head lantern on broken ski goggles
  EGO: "Hey, neat! It works like a lens!"
  EGO: "But the beam is still too weak to melt the snow."
USE swiss army knife on broken walky talky
  EGO: "It's got a nine volt battery and a lot of wires inside."
PICK UP battery and wires.
USE wires on battery
  EGO: "Now I've got half a circuit."
