3 to say they don't think lightbulb pictures fit the current challenge.
4 to say they should have used a softer light.
5 to say the lightbulb should have been cropped more closely.
5 to say the lightbulb should have been cropped less closely.
8 to complain in the forums about how their lightbulb is being scored.
2 of those to reveal which lightbulb is theirs.
6 to complain that you should keep your lightbulb anonymous until the end of the challenge.
9 to say that anonymity is a joke anyway so why bother.
1 to put down the way the winners changed their bulb.
6 to tell that person they should keep quiet until they try changing a bulb themselves.
2 to complain about the picture of a floodlight without a lampshade
3 to say that lightbulbs come in all shapes and sizes and we should appreciate that.
Feel free to add to this list.

5 to complain that the challenge should have been to change any light source.
9 to argue about the definition of lightbulbs.
8 to evolve the lightbulb discussion into one involving nuclear physics and bananas.

| 1 to describe the way Ansell Adams changed lightbulbs, but of course the rules here are far too restrictive for any of us to do it that way. |
