I'm pretty excited about this one - already have a pretty good idea that I think will be workable.

edit: On second thought, may possibly but not most likely, be workable. Hrm.

I remember the Bo Derek movie. I was in high school at the time.

Since I'm at a loss at the moment for this challenge, I thought I'd look up numerology info about the number 10...this is what I found on a website called //www.thedreamtime.com:

The number of completion in most systems, number 10 represents perfection, completion and fulfillment. 10 in the Kaballah is equal to Malkuth = Kingdom in the Tree of Life which indicates that this number represents the entire kingdom or the completion of a kingdom. Because it represents completion it also symbolically is indicative of closure. Since a 10 is really a perfect combination of the 1 and 0 energies, you should also see the chart for 1 and 0 above.

Character traits: Exceptionally powerful and dominating personality. Individualistic and intensely original and creative. An inspired and inspiring leader and a pioneer. Efficient and determined and good at initiating new projects.

Negative tendencies: Stubborn, rigid especially about their own ideas. Depressed if caught up in the small details of life. May be jealous.

The 1 and 0 energies it refers to are these:

0 - Derived from the Latin 'nulla figura' (not a real figure) and relatively new in terms of mystical symbolism. Ancient Mayans and Olmecs had a basic understanding of the concept and represented Zero as an empty oyster. We can look at the Oyster as a give of life and therefore Zero as both an empty, hollow form but also a form which produces a living thing or another being almost magically.

Character traits: Empty yet whole. Essence of all things, accepting and creative.
Negative tendencies: Without form, shapeless. Lack of detail, unorganized.

1 - All things are at their essence 'one thing'. There is One whole which has created a deep religious and mystical tradition identifying unity and singleness with goodness and therefor diversity and difference as bad. In all religions the essence of the belief is that of One God (even within Christianity, where the Trinity is well known, the eventual source is always One.) At first One was thought of as not even being a number at all since all other numbers are made from it - and it was seen as combining both opposites of odd and even and therefore all other opposites in the universe; because of this it was the number 10 that was seen as completion and perfection since it completed the series of essential numbers (1-9) and brought them all back to unity (10 = 1 + 0 = 1).

Character traits: Exceptionally powerful and dominating personality. Individualistic and intensely original and creative. An inspired and inspiring leader and a pioneer. Efficient and determined and good at initiating new projects.
Negative tendencies: Stubborn and contrary. Resenting authority, rarely seeking advice or follow it. Single-minded, wilful, impatient and possibly quick tempered. Obstinately proud and possibly difficult to deal with.

I'm not sure if this helps me at all or not...maybe it will help some of you folks. ;)

Just FYI, for all the guys planning to enter photos of their girlfriends... They better look like 10s and have pro model gigs! Last thing you'll want is your girlfriend seeing that 5.5 "rating" next to her pic. :P
