Take the Joystiq Scribblenauts Challenge

So, we managed to get our grubby mitts on a copy of Scribblenauts for a few days, but the last thing we want to do is keep all the fun to ourselves. So, here's our idea: We're going to be presenting a puzzle from the game, and we want you to tell us in the comments how you'd solve it. Remember, you can create pretty much any physical object to do the job, but no proper nouns, no trademarks and nothing suggestive or illicit (drugs, hookers, scat, etc.) And try to be as specific as possible when you're describing what you want us to do.

We'll try out some of the best ones and let you know how it works on Monday. We've got the puzzle right after the break, and if you're completely new to the concept, we've got you covered. Good luck!

OK, there's your puzzle. Knock the bottles off without cheating or guns. We're not exactly sure what's meant by cheating, but we'll be finding out together. Here's an unobstructed view of the puzzle, we can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

zero gravity

Pendulum.

no, just use a rock.

"Zero gravity" isn't an object, and therefore cannot be summoned in the game.

HEY Kool-Aid !!!!

Puffles - you'd be surprised.

Opera Singer - Should sing and break the glass.

Bow and arrow

That's kind-of-a-gun, though.

Not if he throws the bow at the bottles.

Black Hole!

Make a teeter totter, a bowling ball, and a 1-ton weight.
Launch the bowling ball and hope it hits : D

I was gonna say the exact same thing, except with the girl instead of a bowling ball.

Gerbil catapult.

nuclear warhead

Might count as gun.

The quickest way would be to drop an anvil on top of them!

throw a grenade into the stack of bottles to, not only knock them down but obliterate them as well!

tornado

u thought tornado too, hmmm then earthquake!

A bull and a red flag.

Use a sumo wrestler stomping around by them

I would write stealth bomber and bomb the crap out of them... Those bottles will never see it coming.

Try writing "hunk" (or another word for like a pretty man, like Fabio), essentially, make that girl go crazy and chase the guy running into the stand, knocking over the bottles....

Leaf blower!Tsunami! Jetpack!

Spawn a mouse to scare the girl into running into the stacked tables, thus knocking the bottles to the ground.

I think you'd get a little of bonus points for creativity and only using 1 item. This is a great idea, the problem is we can't really test the environment, the structural integrity of the objects, etc. So it's hard to come up with viable solutions to the puzzle by just looking at a picture.

You're both right.

Do you have conversations with yourself often?

I'm gonna have to go with three pandas on a unicycle.

This is the solution to EVERY puzzle.

EPIC.

Tornado! It'll spin and knock them over.
Or Baseballs! and A Bat! that would work.

I think that'd be cool. Actually trying to knock the bottles over with baseballs.

hhmmm... well lets see, i got a couple of ideas
1. i would just get a baseball and throw it at the bottles
2. make a ninja star and throw that at the bottles
3. call a bird or an eagle and use the bird to attack the bottles
4. call up fire ball and throw it at the bottles... that might be cheating
