Initial reaction is ~5. Presumably the unsliced bread is meant to add a point, and the second half is perched at an angle without anything falling off. But it's still just a pretty basic sandwich...

Yeah...I mean for a sandwich I think it's pretty nicely done. I'm just not sure if we're grading it on a scale of sandwiches or a scale of things?

But in general my 1st reaction is higher than that. I don't think I could make a sandwich do that?

Yeah, after thinking about it a bit more, I'm leaning a bit higher too. Something like a 6 maybe? I dunno...the whole middle range is tough.

You are right though that making the sandwich hold it's integrity at that angle is probably much harder than it looks.

There's a good chance the thing just collapsed after the pic was taken, but 8 still seems kinda high to me.

I just don't wanna overthink it and go too high, because at the end of the day, it is just a sandwich, and I'm not entirely sure how much weight we're supposed to put into the whole angle of the bread. Having it sit like that for any length of time is probably not that easy, but the initial "building" of it is really not that hard.

Like, is this more about the making of the sandwich or the balancing of the bread? It's not entirely clear to me.

What would be an 11 for you in this category?

I really don't know, and I thought this was a reasonably hard category to go first actually. But maybe something that's easy enough to build, but still requires instructions...like a lego set or maybe a flatpack? Definitely not a sandwich tho.

I'm ok with like a 7 if you want to compromise there, though?

first instinct is lower, since it's a sandwich and all

but i didn't really see the angle of the bread as part of it when i looked at the picture

generic sandwich is probably 3-4. but this one is really nicely done. it's fairly simple, but still really nicely and done, the way it's stacked and cut probably raises it a point or two beyond already raising it a point or two for being really nicely done. but hard to see it being 8 or higher

yeah

what would you say for a 2-3 in this question, filthy?

just a couple legos on top of each other?

yeah probably couple leggos is 2

im surprised this category was picked so early cuz it's kinda hard. i think we could likely be wrong. like this sandwich could be 4-12, and the range shouldn't be that wide on the first round.

i realize i have more numbers above 7 than below 7, so i could easily be talked into higher. but i think lower is more likely cuz it's just a sandwich! lol
