Macgyverism - Photoshop Contest [6 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

60.8%

Contest goal:

Back in the 80's you had the action-adventure tv-serie MacGyver. MacGyver was a true hero, because no matter how desperate the situation, he could always find a way out with the most casual things around him (the things you can do with a paperclip!).
His inventions (based on true science) to solve problems were nicknamed as MacGyverisms by fans and there's even a whole list of them: MacGyverisms

Your goal in this contest is the following: think of a dramatic situation that you can solve with just random objects. Make sure that the objects you use are recognizable. Because you create it, it doesn't have to be all based on science, but the more convincing the better! Good luck!

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

MacGyver plugs a sulfuric acid leak with chocolate. He states that chocolate contains lactose and sucrose (chemically C12H22O11), which are disaccharides. The acid reacts with the sugars to form elemental carbon and a thick gummy residue (proved to be correct on Mythbusters).

MacGyver uses a large speaker and an oscillator to create a high-pitched squeal that causes his attackers to temporarily be distracted so that he can disable them. After moving 5 or 6 feet, the plug is pulled and the distraction ends, resulting in their capture.
