“Seeking Furazans and Oxazoles”
Not being a Chemist, it sounds to me like this Challenge seeks evidence for the existence of possibly mythical beasts that may inhabit the depths of the Amazon rain forest. But because it’s on InnoCentive, I know that it’s actually something real and important — and it’s comforting to know there are people in our Solver community that understand such things.

“Reducing Risk of Malaria with Solar Powered”
I personally found the mosquito zapping challenge the most interesting and, at the same time the most difficult. There has been sooooo much research done in the field of mosquito control that needed to be read and analyzed prior to feeling comfortable enough to start on the fun stuff, i.e. actually designing a workable concept. Then, once I started on the solution, I couldn’t stop tweaking it until the last minute …. probably a good thing I had a deadline! The end result was absolutely nothing like I had originally envisioned.

I am still working as what are the constituents of light as it has been years since any discovery in the same topic.
everyone still believes it to have wave as well as particle nature but what are its constituents is still a mystery.

The challenge that asks me for a solution without boundaries. I am constantly annoyed by the lack of freedom that is presented with challenges.
I believe that to get true evolution in any subject / project /problem / there needs to be a higher evolution of the challenges boundaries.
The challenges are tending to be presented with walls around them . You want innovation then get the seekers to reconsider the restictions they impose by putting up walls of prerequisists. To innovate means to look past boundaries but if the reward is within a boundary ….Logic defies the conclusion

“NO STUBBLE ! PLEASE” - I enjoyed that, it is funny, isn’t it ?”. I hate to shave, for a last couple of years - i am a man with beard. Ha! Ha! I like that but the person staying on the other side of the river don’t. I submit a solve to break the deadlock. Let’s see.

The big challenger is to get this web translate to all lenguages so the world be involved in one idea and not only one race. Let me put this example I do have many ideas but in spanish I will express better than in english. That means that you will give more in youre own mother lengiages than in other one.
If we want to be in touch with all people certanly the best will be in their own lenguages. Don´t you agree.
