MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With Magnets

Hello, fellow Lifehackers! Time for another MacGyver Challenge. What's a MacGyver Challenge, you ask? Simple. We give you an object and you show us what cool things you can do with it. Our editors pick the best submissions and our favorite will win an autographed copy of the Lifehacker book!

Ready? Do we even need to ask?

This Week's MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With Magnets

This week, we're looking for your best hacks involving magnets (and just to head off the jokes, here's how they work). You can use magnets and binder clips to control your cables. You can use them to keep kids' plastic cups readily at hand. You can even use them to save some serious desk space.

Now, it's your turn. Share your best hack using magnets. Your hack can use other materials, of course, but the magnets should be the defining element. Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. And don't be afraid to get creative!

How to Submit Your Entry

Make sure to follow these instructions when you submit your entry:

• Post your entry below or send it to challenge@lifehacker.com with the subject MacGyver Challenge: Magnets. If you post your entry below and need to include more than one image, just reply to your own comment or host your extra pics on a free, quick image-hosting site like imgur and link out to your gallery.
• We will accept entries up through Sunday night, March 10 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time
• We will showcase the best submissions and announce our favorite on Monday, March 11.

So grab that leather flight jacket, comb your mullet, and start channeling those MacGyver vibes. Here's a little theme music to put you in the mood. And don't forget to check back every week for a new challenge. We'll be alternating between Hacker Challenges and MacGyver Challenges.

Standard Gawker contest rules apply, so be sure to check them out before submitting your entry.
