total guess (an nothing to do with a razor)

"the english language"

Totally 0 chance of that being right, but I wanted to say 'hi' anyway.

I think we are approaching this from the wrong direction. When it was stated that the 'razor' suggestion was the closest to date, laterally thinking it possibly meant 'in location to' and not 'in function'?

If T's syntax is correct "use one every day" and given the above assumption to be correct, then this places it in a bathroom / washroom situation and as nearly everything you can find in a bathroom has been discounted, I still say it is a toilet.

I must admit I favoured 'flush toilet' for a long while. But the following does seem to suggest otherwise: www.abc.net.au/science/news/enviro/EnviroRepublish_809480.htm

The competition is closed over the weekend. It resumes on Monday. What with the £50 increase for every incorrect answer, the pot now stands at a very appealing £1500.

I'm pretty sure it's chopsticks and it's a nod towards the massive Chinese population.

I checked my guess out and it turns out that China accounts for 20% of the World's population, so it can't be that either...

When do we get the answer?

i dont know if anyone has adressd the left-handed suggestion...i really dont have time to read all of the posts but im left handed and only 11% of the worlds population is left handed so that cant be right
