@SSteve aww... oh well worth a shot... my monitor shows blue... guess i need to calibrate it..,, (never-mind just googled purple, it's not my monitor ;) )
@SSteve Seriously though, every time I think I have it, I see a reason for my answer to be wrong. I assume there is only one correct answer? (I'm not going to guess publicly, but I do want to figure it out)
@hamjudo We have a winner!! Send an email to fuku.ssteve@neverbox.com with your mailing address and a 7-digit number that I'll confirm here to make sure someone isn't trying to steal your thunder.
@SSteve Now that makes more sense then the methodology I employed; but I still say @moose was right. But, I'd not seen that before (and here I thought I had seen everything) and it was fun! What do we get if we prognosticate the seven digit number?
@hamjudo Great. I will do my best to get it in the mail tomorrow, but "my best" isn't always very good, so it might be later. I promise before the end of the week, though.
@hamjudo A buddy of mine had SICKASS in college . . . Then he had eight girls and changed it to CALLDAD. I don't know why he didn't stop with one or two . . . but eight was enough! I actually thought his wife's uterus was going to fall out. Every year, another baby. I have no idea how she did it. Now, she's like totally hot though - she bounced back well.
@Pavlov I didn't pay extra for the number, instead I asked for a number with no zeros or ones. The phone company person gave me three choices, and I chose the one with a good mixture of vowels and consonents.
And here I was looking for a card to put in that would not complete any sets. I think A Single Red Solid Oval does that but I guess there are more than one.
2 outlined diamonds in blue... no make that 3 diamonds filled blue.
@thismyusername The colors are green, red, and purple. But you're wrong anyway.
@SSteve aww... oh well worth a shot... my monitor shows blue... guess i need to calibrate it..,, (never-mind just googled purple, it's not my monitor ;) )
@thismyusername Could be my camera or the light. I didn't bother white balancing.
I love purple.
I guess I should have made a rule that only the first guess counts. Consider that a rule from now on.
@SSteve 2 green clovers!!!!! oh wait...
Two purple squiggle outlines.
@AngryCapsLock Nope.
8 of Hearts
@Moose Go fish.

single squiggle with a green outline and white interior.

Two red "pill" or "racetrack" shaped, as in the top left corner - but filled in, but not solidly, light fill.
But I really think @Moose was right.
2 red squiggles, filled in with lines (not solid fill)
Correct answer: one empty green squiggle
Why?
Number the cards in the photo like this:
1 2 34 56 7 89 10 11Number:
That leaves 6 & 7 which are both one so the missing card must have one shape
Fill:
Empty: 1, 3, 4
That leaves 8 & 9 which are both empty so the missing card must have an empty shape
Color:
Purple: 2, 4, 10
That leaves 3 & 11 which are both green so the missing card must be green
Shape:
Oval: 1, 5, 6
This video describes how to identify the missing card:

@SSteve The secret number I sent you was 4265836.
@hamjudo Great. I will do my best to get it in the mail tomorrow, but "my best" isn't always very good, so it might be later. I promise before the end of the week, though.
@SSteve @hamjudo I was going to say 4265835 . . . Damn. Just missed it.
@Pavlov On a telephone dial 4265835 spells HAMJUDK. That obviously does not match the phone number I had back in 1991.

@hamjudo I actually got it in the mail yesterday. I'm surprised.
Neat. Can't believe I've never seen that game before.
I figured it out using a different method:
To quote early Sesame Street, "One of these things is not like the others" in each row.
It turns out that it was a coincidence that each category had 3, 3, 5.
Here is a more generalized rule:
In the game, everything is a multiple of three. Take all of the numbers modulo 3. In each category, 2 of the numbers will match, choose the other one.
The answer is of course, Lasagna.
Please send me the bag immediately. Thank you.
@ACraigL Sorry, I ate the lasagna for dinner.
I know I volunteered, but I didn't know we'd be getting electric shocks.
And here I was looking for a card to put in that would not complete any sets. I think A Single Red Solid Oval does that but I guess there are more than one.
@Gurkie that was what i was doing, too, until i realized i was procrastinating and needed to get other things accomplished.
The ass of diamonds?
Damn. Just saw this. :-(
Wow, I haven't played Set in years!
I will post pictures tomorrow. The bag arrived in a surprisingly heavy package...
