Look at us, starting a new riddle cycle off with a bang.  As Tom mentioned in this post<\/a>, we are able to offer a really cool prize from A&E to the person who solves this riddle.  Here’s a link to the Amazon page<\/a>, along with the one in the side bar, if you want to check it out.  Don’t spend too much time looking it over – the winner is the first person who solves the riddle!<\/p>

For clarification, this special prize riddle will work exactly like the weekly riddles.  The riddle is open to everybody; I will be in the comments for feedback; the winner gets his\/her name on the list for the next bonus riddle; the winner chooses the subject of my next blog post (Monday’s); the winner is the first person who solves the riddle; and Tom has the final say in any controversy.<\/p>

Are you ready to riddle?  Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines:<\/p>

In order not to “understate” an important characteristic of this thing, you have to learn to compensate.<\/p>

Sometimes it’s visible to the unaided eye; usually it’s not.<\/p>

All things considered, today’s answer is on the chilly side.
\"\"<\/a>
Today’s answer fits into several categories, one of which is quite rare.<\/p>

It appears ready to move on to its next incarnation.<\/p>

Everybody is eligible to win, so good luck.<\/p>
