People search for stuff at Instructables all the time. Sometimes they find what they're looking for, sometimes they don't. But there are a few common how-tos that come up often enough that make us wonder, "why don't we have an Instructable on that?"
The answer is of course, because no one has written one. But you can change all that.
Below I've listed out a number of popular 'wanted Instructables'. If you write an Instructable about one of these topics we will send you a free Instructables Robot T-shirt. Answer more than one of these questions and and we won't keep sending you shirts, but we probably will send you something cool that we have made here at Instructables HQ.
Wanted Instructables:
I've created a group to keep track of everything, called Burning Questions. If you want the shirt, you've got to add your Instructable to the group.
When we've determined an Instructable is of high enough quality, we'll add a link to it below, in the "Answered Questions" section and take it away from our "Wanted" list. Once it's added to the Burning Questions group I will send you a private message letting you know how you can claim your free shirt.

Wanted Instructables:
- How to cook prime rib
- How to make out (stay classy on this one)
- How to make a man fall in love
- How to cut hair
- How to build a deck
- How to fly fish
- How to pour a beer (including methods from a bottle and from a tap)
- The Instructables have to be of good quality. Lots of people are looking for these answers so put some extra effort in. They have to be detailed, contain plenty of good pictures, and actually provide a good answer to the question. If they're lousy (you know when they are), no t-shirt for you.
- They have to be titled as above (or with very minor variation). Why? Because that's what people are looking for.
- They have to have a publish date after September 3rd.
- They have to be on the list! Only Instructables answering questions on the list will be admitted to the group.
