Design clear plastic shoes to be sold together with pairs
of special socks. The socks would sport typical patterns
down to the ankle while the part covered by the shoe
would be designed to appear like brown suede, black
leather or any shoe material desired. In this fashion, the
same pair of shoes could be worn with suits or trousers
of varying colour and style.

Devise a fruit machine game to be played on multiple
mobile phones. Players would line up their phones and
request to play. Picture messages bearing cherries or
bars and the like would be sent to the phones. Each game
would be charged to the individual’s phone bill but the
cash prizes for lines could be shared between all players
in a session. The number of players would be unlimited
294and the prize money would escalate accordingly. The
game could also be played remotely with the other
player’s results shown as thumbnail images, or as a
single player game, with three reels on the same screen.
