       | Developer Tools (F12) > Console and execute:
       | document.querySelectorAll('p').forEach(e => e.style.opacity = 0)
       | 
       | Now without the text visible anymore, try and guess which musical
       | instrument each picture represents. Then reload the page and
       | check how many you got right. What's your score out of 8? I
       | scored 5.

       | I wonder if he would have been better off making a device to hold
       | a small mirror steady and used a telephoto lens pointed at it
       | from one of the f holes.
       | 
       | It says he had a 5 mm hole to work with. That would pass an 8
       | gauge wire with plenty of room to maneuver. Mount a mirror to the
       | end, thread a two or three foot wire through the hole from the
       | inside out, clamp it to a surface the instrument is sitting in to
       | keep it from moving, and set up your camera from a low angle and
       | the light positioned to not cast a shadow.
       | 
       | Alternately you could J hook a long, large diameter scope, and
       | composite two shots with the cable visible on opposite sides of
       | each picture.

       | like something from this gallery.
