    Before anyone says anything about the wooden table: The light is wrong for that, and there's a piece of tape on top.

    Thus, this is a wooden door.

    Well at least the no-photo photo was on a wooden table.

    Edit: TO the person above: maybe a door maybe not. Either way a wooden door is just a differently-oriented wooden table with fewer legs and (optionally) more handles.

    "No photo available" would be even funnier if they take a picture of the sign for every inmate who doesn't have a photo available.

    Actually the answers are opposites, and don't contradict themselves at all. Even better, the "hint" tells you the correct answer.

    Clearly, you are wrong.

    They had the camera on a tripod, so they had to stand the table up on its end. Hence, the tape and lighting.

    That's why you need to tape the tripod to the door.

    It's good you gave up. The question was obviously designed to be answered by someone who has both reading and thinking skills, and it's clear you have neither. Nice choice not to waste your time.

    Going through T5 at Heathrow, the least of your worries is the lack of carpet.

    I'd also be more confident of the cleanliness of hard floor (tile, linoleum, wood, etc.) rather than carpet, not to mention its lack of annoying little hazards such as staples. Hard floor can (generally) be mopped, swept, etc., much more effectively than vacuuming a carpet. Perhaps they could at least put down some kind of moppable soft mats, in the places where you'll wind up standing shoeless.

    That said, though, TRWTF is making people take their shoes off in the first place. As some wag once said, I'm just glad Reid wasn't "the underwear bomber".

    Probably because your desk/door (like mine) is actually painted white or off white. You need to find a door/desk that shows the wood grain.

    If you're that concerned about the lack of carpet, wear socks. It's not that difficult.

    Also, yeah Maplin's. I used to work there when I was in still in school. That place sucks. I still remember the joys of ringing up the register for a 3p purchase of a resistor. That and the repeated requests from customers for the mythical "standard" plug for their stereo/TV/VCR/Car etc.

    I'm a little concerned as to why the photo was unavailable in the first place...couldn't they find her to take a picture? Besides, I thought one of the first things the corrections people did was to take an offender's picture. Did they lose that one?
