Hey are all those buttons ? I think I see an Ox Knob in there. How about one hint? How big is the table or whatever you have them on ? ::
I'll have to think a little longer
Good luck everyone ! I offered a few prizes of my own for more place winners but Dan hasn't replied back yet. Maybe the top 6 or so top guesses.

Ok I've had a few days to think and there's no doubt, there's alot of buttons there. Knowing Dan I'm guessing there's a special number there that has a meaning to something. I had a couple numbers and I've been torn between two guesses but now I'm ready.
