The response to our quiz has been fantastic! Nearly 300 of you have weighed in with your answers. If you're among the 17% who guessed the object was a vintage toy component, pat yourself on the back. It is indeed the deck of an old pop-pop toy boat! Check out the website dedicated to the pop-pop story (and the source for the great boat image). Be sure to click on the "how does it sound" link so you get the full audio experience! After all, the pop-pop boat gets its name from the noise it makes as it putters along.

Back to the quiz results. 17% of you thought it was a reinforcement from an old shoe; 14% thought it was part of a pachinko game; 37% voted for the bottom of an antique iron; 11% thought it was a fixture from an oil furnace; and the remaining 3% of you checked "other," with the following creative guesses:

• part of an old circuit board
• the base of a computer mouse
• the heel of some sort of shoe
• a piece from a game
• the top of an old pop top can
• clock face
• piece of leather
• cell phone
• piece of a computer board
• the center hole from an old record
• part of a belt
• Victorian ouigi board
• rivets
