Anyone who's worked on a major project, be it professional, personal, or for a contest like The Hackaday Prize, knows about marathon sessions. Those times when you put in your all and just push the project ahead until you drop. This scientist has definitely given his all and then some! He's catching a few winks right under the blackboard where he presumably has been working. This image has no caption, though it's attached to an album entitled Linac control room. None of the pictures seem to show much of a control room though. It seems that back in 1966, CERN's photographer was a bit more interested in sleeping scientists than the science itself!
So what do you think is happening in this image? Can you make anything interesting out from the diagrams on the blackboard? Give it a shot!
This week's prize is a Stickvice from The Hackaday Store.
Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this contest log, not on the contest itself.
As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.
Good Luck!
