So which one of these is it gonna be, people:

Vote now to determine whether Techno-Guru Brian gets a handsome trophy...or a haircut by the Zaharko kids of Episode 5.

As you may recall, Brian and the kids were issued a challenge: build a telescopic webcam from materials provided to them, and use the webcam to take a picture of the moon.

To keep things fair, I won't reveal which is which until the voting is over tomorrow evening.

But how the story ends is up to you, so vote now -- Brian's hair depends on it!
