You earlier stated: "[Y]ou'll notice I've captioned #2, so you don't have to speculate about what the object is made of, or how large it is, or that sort of thing. I'll try to do that where it's not immediately clear what the properties of the object are."

With respect to object #3, I agree with Diamond that it has the appearance of a pollen grain. However, it is not immediately clear to me what the properties of the object are. So as not to alter the game in its present incarnation, can you send me a freepmail with an identification of object #3?

Yes, you're right. I should tell you that the object is composed of silica, and the photograph is ~390x magnification. Perhaps the size and composition will prove helpful.
