The series will be entitled 'Amazing Red Dot Quiz'. Note the emphasis. Not Amazing Red Dot Quiz, but Amazing Red Dot Quiz. We know our little red dot is amazing, so I'm not stating the obvious.
Taking the cue from Victor who cheats in his quiz to prevent cheating - just look at his blinking rock - I'm going to (digitally) manipulate the quiz photo to make the quiz more 'challenging'. Like Victor, I hope you guys will be taking up the challenge.
The first quiz is on this interesting time capsule in Singapore. Where is it? What does it say?
Note the 'gone' letters are not my doing. They were already gone when I took the photo. What I did was to add noise so the smaller letters disappeared. The smaller letters contain an interesting piece of information.

Update on Jan 25, 2009.
From the comments, the oldies took up the challenge and overcame it. By hook or by crook, they have gotten it right. Since Seen This Scene That revealed the 'lost letters', I shall end this quiz. This is how the photo looks like originally, without the noise:
PY is right about the capsule as "near the National Museum of Singapore". How near is near? Look at the photo to find out.
Time Capsule reads:
30 DECEMBER 1984
TIME CAPSULE
TO COMMEMORATE 25 YEARS
OF NATION BUILDING
1959-1984
TO BE OPENED IN
DECEMBER 2009

icemoon, you need to learn more from victor. give something that belongs to the museum; things that goes back more than 60 years - like his latest quiz on m.a.d. notices. i am still cracking my head on that one.
Victor is right about you man .. you like to keh siao! hehe
the fact you are still cracking your head means you are still young. older folks would have solved the puzzle or cracked their heads.
Hey I decided to copy some of you guys' 'cheating' habits and make use of IT to find the answer to this quiz. But I shan't reveal the answer.
It should be near the National Museum of Singapore? I know that there's a time capsule there.
PY, not fair leh. The National Museum is near so many landmarks, even the old Stamford Library.
My History is 'Ungraded' , doesn't even appear on my O levels.
I suck at such quizzes.
Adelin, this has nothing to do with history. :P
Yg, you are supposed to submit your guess on my blog, not Icemoon's.
I really don't know where this time capsule is, not keh siao one.
Got it. You certainly didn't take this photo inside a museum. The time capsule will be opened soon. :)
Is this the same one that has "TO BE OPENED IN DECEMBER 2009" on it?
I updated the post. Congratulations!
Thank you. Isn't near? Hey Icemoon, I know Stamford Road well enough if it is near the old MPH building, or at Fort Canning Hill, or SMU, I would say it is near those places. Maybe the next time I should just bring a ruler with me, and measure how near things are with reference to the places I have in mind. Hehehe..
