1. Please clarify: "The exterior of the lamp cover and lamp guard may touch your solar cooker if desired. However, nothing can be within the interior area of the shade and guard, due to safety concerns. Your solar cooker must support the lamp throughout the 20 minute competition, and can be placed at your discretion."
** Clarification: the lamp cover and lamp guard may touch your solar cooker if desired. However, the lamp cover CANNOT be completely enclosed due to a potential safety hazard. Only the first 3 cm from the edge of the lamp cover (on the guard side) may be touched. The remainder of the lamp cover (including the venting holes) must not come in contact with the solar cooker and must be completely exposed to the outside air.
2. Please clarify: "The solar cooker may be no larger than: 0.5 m wide, 0.5 m long and 0.5 m tall. Points will be deducted if the solar cooker exceeds these dimensions".
***Clarification: the dimensions specified are the dimensions of your solar cooker in absence of the brooder lamp. Additional fastening material needed to hold the brooder lamp in place will be permitted and does count in the solar cooker dimensions. However, the fastening material must only be used to hold the brooder lamp in place and it may not extend the dimensions of the solar cooker or aid in the performance of the solar cooker.
