What are some inspiring landing page contests?

I would define a successful and inspiring contest by one that engages with both prospective and current leads. Contests are great for brand awareness and lead generation. This retailer got over 821 leads (and a lot of postive word-of-mouth) with one of their most recent contests: They run contests on a regular basis.  Are you looking for a certain type of contest or a contest example from a specific industry? I have access to a ton of different examples if you need more inspiration.Here are a few other great landing page contest examples: 5 Online Promotion Examples to Inspire Your BusinessCheers!

What is the origin of the phrase "thinking outside of the box"?

Nobody can give you a definitive answer to this.The phrase (or close variations of it) does appear in print once or twice in the 70s but only entered popular use years later.The 9 dots puzzle (one suggested source) is over 100 years old.The candle box test is over 80 years old.Nobody has shown any evidence of the first use of the phrase and (as with many popular phrases) nobody is ever likely to. Dan Pepper has a plausible and verifiable story about how it was popularised, which is not precisely what you are asking.Personally, I think it highly unlikely that the phrase was inspired by the candle box test as it is a very poor metaphor for it. When popular metaphors are first coined, it is the inspired aptness of the image that catches the imagination of the audience and helps it to spread. The phrase “outside the box” is a terrible fit; there is no logic to the association. If someone had seen the test performed, never heard the phrase before and soon after heard the phrase used, I doubt they would have connected the two. If I were in that situation, even if I did make the connection I would consider it poor and would have no temptation to repeat it myself.I really don’t care where the phrase comes from - I just want it to go away again. It has become such a cliché that anybody who uses the phrase is not thinking originally in any way.

Why can't we use the Hubble Telescope to see the lunar lander?

Even though there are 6 manned US mission (Apollo 11,12,14,15,16,17), 8 USSR and 1 PR China unmanned mission, 15 US pre surveillance unmanned mission on lunar surface its hard to point out at them using hubble space telescope.Lets know what we will see if we point hubble to the moon (which was made to see galaxies billions of light year away and measuring trillions kilometers across)A bit of problem here is resolution (which determines the smallest pixel in image).Resolution (in arcseconds) is equal to ratio of wavelength of captured light to telescope mirror diameter.With increase in magnification object appears closer and we get fine details of an object but it is affected by wavelength.At shorter wavelength (infrared light) resolution is high and a single pixel of moon image will cover about 43m (so an object of about 43m will fit in one pixel but lunar module measures just 4m).For visible light 1 pixel will cover 90m of lunar surface (its like looking at a coin from million miles away).However here is an image of landing sites of Apollo 12,14 and 17 which was captured by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) from an altitude of 21 km above moon surface.Want to know more about Hubble space telescope: Kaustubh Patil's answer to How can the Hubble space telescope get detailed views of distant galaxies?
