Myth: How hard is it to find a needle in a haystack? Result: Partly Busted!

Reference: In the episode "Exploding House," (2004, Ep. 26) Adam and Jamie competed against each other in a contest to bust an old adage. While Jamie teamed up with Christine and Scottie in a machine known as Earth, Wind & Fire which burned the hay to leave the needles behind, Adam, Kari, and Tory used the Needlefinder 2000, a machine that relied on water to separate needles from the hay (in the theory that needles would sink in water while hay floated). Each team had to locate four needles among ten bales of hay - three of steel of varying sizes and one of bone. Adam's team won the contest, in great part because his team's machine "processed" their haystack more quickly.

Inventory Description: This lot consists of one blueprint drawn by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman and signed by Adam Savage and Kari Byron with one MythBusters Team signed poster print. Blueprint exhibits some small rips on the edges, but remains in good condition.

For certain lots in the auction, including this one, a single photo has been used to represent the signed poster in multiple different auction lots that are extremely similar. The poster in this lot is nearly identical to the one pictured, though it may have minor differences in wear to the one photographed. All specific lots are available for in-person viewing at Propstore's offices by appointment.

Dimensions: 47" x 48" (119.4cm x 121.9cm)
