slip it in the vent of a random heavy appliance like the fridge
My magical “You’ll never find what you’re looking for” box of cables. The moment I’ve unpacked and plugged in my newly ordered one, the one I knew I had spawns back in and I’ll inevitably find it and curse.
I don’t know how plumbing works, but I think this would work:
I’d empty the hair from my hairbrush, tangle the paperclip in it and put the clump down my shower drain. Hair clump keeps it from draining away keeping it “in my house.” Retrieve after with one of those spikey stick snake things. Spend the remaining 3 minutes touching other hiding places to throw the detective off the scent.
If that doesn’t count as in the house I’d probably just slip it into a pocket of a coat in my closet. I doubt they’d think to check every pocket of every item of clothing. They’re probably checking all the vents and window panels and little holes in my walls, and I don’t think they’d catch me because I go in my closet a lot so it’s not like I’ve disturbed dust to go in there during the 5 minutes.
Straighten it, cut it into as many tiny pieces as possible with wire cutters for 4 minutes, then spend the last minute spreading them around random places in the carpet, vents, lawn, etc.
Turn off breaker (without clock attached), unscrew a wall plate for an outlet, unbend and drop paperclip in wall, below outlet, by sliding it between the electric box and the drywall, put wall plate back, turn breaker back on, put the kettle on for a tea.
Literally hiding it IN your house…
This is the best answer. Getting it in a wall void space should win.
inside a really weird sex toy.
Filming the new series of Taskmaster already?
They did this one with the 3 aubergines 🍆🍆🍆
shove it in my ass
…allllllllllllll the way up
It might be easier to fold it into a pill sized ball and swallow it… and it might not be as likely to puncture anything.
But less… interesting…?
That is exactly what my first thought was lol
Straighten it and snip it into 4 brad nails. Tap them into your molding at random places in the house. Preferably places with unpainted brads in it, such as stained wood molding.
In the sock dimension.
The detective… Is he like a Clouseau or a Columbo type? If the former, I could leave it in plain sight and still get the $100k but if it’s the latter, I might as well confess the moment he walks in the door because there’s nowhere I could hide it he wouldn’t sniff it out and make me incredibly uncomfortable as he toys with me for hours before going in for the kill.
Or I could just toss it into a drawer with a million other paperclips and he’d never know which one is the one he’s looking for.
Sort of cheating - flush it down the toilet.
Playing by the rules - turn it into dust with an angle grinder.
Put it wherever TF the socks go that disappear after doing laundry. You’ll never see it again.
I unfold it and then skewer it into the side of a drop ceiling tile.
I am handing it to my toddler and saying “this is important, don’t lose it”.
Detective has a zero percent chance of ever finding it.
