Time for another contest.
This one came to me one day when I was using my Washlet or Super Toilet (ST) in my bathroom.
I don’t believe I mentioned this previously in the blog but a lot of the hotels, office buildings, restaurants and apartments are installed with Super Toilets. They almost always have an integrated bidet and some have other features. My apartment’s Washlet also has a heated seat. Fantastic feature. When I return home in August I’m going to dismantle the Super Toilet and pack it into my three suitcases. I might have to leave behind some items (gifts, clothes, critical medical prescriptions and laptop), but screw it, it’s got a heated seat for God’s sake!
That’ll be priceless come January in Pennsylvania.

Check out the control panel on the ST:
Anyway, one day while pondering life sitting on the ST I decided to play with the controls. I activated the bidet and cranked the Water Pressure knob to maximum which nearly knocked me off the seat. No wonder the cleaning staff turned the Water Pressure knob to low. There’s a Japanese sign in the bathroom which obviously I can’t read but it probably says something like, “Warning. Use of high pressure may result in small children being thrown through walls.”
So this near (rectal) death experience got me to thinking, “I wonder how far that water would shoot out if I wasn’t sitting there?” And thus this contest was born. Your challenge will be to guess in inches, how far the bidet can shoot water when set at three quarters pressure. I’m afraid if I set it at full pressure I might take out the apartment building across the street from mine. Whoever guesses closest to the farthest splash of water wins. The winner will be awarded a similar prize as offered in the Tokyo Price Is Right Contest blog.
Rules
(1.) All guesses must be submitted by midnight (U.S. time) on July 15th.
(2.) In order to make a guess, you can add a comment to this specific blog or you can email me at craig@waverka.com.
(3.) Guesses can be in one of the following measurements: inches, feet, feet and inches, kilometers or parsecs.
(4.) The winner will be the guess that is closest (on either side) to the farthest drop of water thrown
Meaningless Clues
(1.) The Washlet is a Toto Model TCF521R
(2.) The bidet nozzle extends approximately 3 inches into the bowl and this measurement will be subtracted from the end measurement for true distance
Good luck.

Hey, Craig.
ReplyDeleteFinally got on the blog and I love it! I've been so buried, no time to read much of anything for fun...so my 15 year old son read it to me while I worked on other stuff. Still laughing. Keep it going!

dude, give us the angle of the dangle and the size (diameter) of the wand... the bidet, not yours.
ReplyDeletePRM...
Ah, spoken like a true engineer. If you think it will help in gaining the prize, the diameter is approx. 5/8 inch and the depressed angle is approx. 45 degrees.
ReplyDelete3.3 feet total horizontal distance, when the nozzle is taken as the horizontal datum.
