A TV program was done in the Projection Art Gallery called "Hide In Plain Sight."
During the break, the woman talked with the producer she had talked with during the first break.
“I still think she cheated,” the woman insisted. “We had to walk by all those balls and she hardly made a sound.”
“Maybe she didn’t use echoing to detect the ball like you did. Maybe she just has a good eye.”
“That’s it. Her eyes must be enhanced in some way. I don’t know if it’s biosynthetic rods and cones or what exactly. Maybe in her dimension it’s natural which would explain why she didn’t check out as enhanced. Nothing was added because nothing was needed.”
“Thanks for the heads up. I’ll talk with the guys and see what we can do.”
During the third round, there were three different types of objects that repeated in the pattern of rock, pyramid, bowling ball. There were 9,999 images to choose from. When Ulla looked at the images she became disturbed. After walking past the images for a few minutes she began to cry. The host read her mind, walked up to her, put his arm around her shoulder, and tried to console her.
The host looked into the camera and said, “Folks, this is the last day for ‘Hide In Plain Sight’ to be on the air. I’m sad that it had to end this way. OK guys, you can turn off the projections.”
When the images were turned off, the people in the gallery and the viewers saw why Ulla was crying. None of the images were of real objects. They were all images created by 9,999 projection spheres. But on each sphere that measured five centimeters in diameter were the words: IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOU ARE CHEATING. No one with normal eyes could read that message because the images obscured the words that were also formed by the spheres. Ulla broke down and confessed how she was able to be so accurate.
“I’m sorry for taking advantage of my eyesight. I can see in infrared, ultraviolet, and in various frequencies. I was able to look through the images and see the projection spheres or see nothing at all which meant the images were field projections. Where I come from, most people have the same type of eyesight I have.
“When I was in Newgate years ago and saw the show, I knew I could take advantage of my eyesight and clean up. I just hope I haven’t ruined the reputation of the show. It was such a fine show.”
“Don’t worry, ma’am. You became a legend that people after you tried to equal. No one knew about your eyesight. It doesn’t really matter. And don’t worry. You won’t need to send back what you won. The second place contestants during your time on the show will receive what you won as compensation. The producers and sponsors can afford to pay for the items.
“They say confession is good for the soul. For your honesty and willingness to come clean, both you and your opponent will receive the hyperlight flyer which was going to be among 99 other images of flyers. So that you won’t need to shift it to your home dimension, the flyer has interdimensional shift capability. I’m sure ACE can spare an extra flyer since the have thousands of them that I think in a few years they’re going to sell as surplus.”
Ulla began to cry and thanked the host for the generous gift. So did the other woman. The host faced the camera and said what he had been saying at the end of every show.
“This is Fargren Main for ‘Hide In Plain Sight’ reminding you that sometimes the best place to hide something is to hide it in plain sight. Good-bye.”
