Where to hide the answers?

So we have to do this kinda fun project over winter break for history. My history teacher decided to give us a break and let us to an extremely easy assignment along with the 10 essays she gave us -__-. Anywho, we have to go on a website and do a webquest in which we look up the answers to 10 questions and right them down.

Now here's the twist. My teacher is pretending that we're British people and we have to send the answers in a "secret telegram" to America (which is her). Basically, we need to hide the answers. Here's the rules: We have to give her an object and she has to search the object for our answers. We get graded on the accuracy on the answers, the creativity of our hiding spot, and how long it takes her to find it . We have to physically give her an object and the answers can not be hidden in school or on our bodies. Also, we need to be able to reveal the answers

So basically, I need a creative place to hide the answers. But there's kinda another twist. My teacher is used to sneaky answers...Like she gave us an example where her students wrote the answers on an egg in white crayon. She couldnt find the answers and they showed her that the only way the answers could be seen was if the egg was dyed in colored ink. So basically, my teacher has high expectations for us .

My partner and I thought of an idea where we give her a binder filled with all of our papers since kindergarten. My teacher would think the answers would be hidden among the thousands of papers and thus, she would look. We would actually write the answers in invisible ink inside the folder-pockets of the binders. Still, I don't know if my partner and I will be able to get our hands on invisible ink so we need more ideas.

Any ideas basil? Feel free to use your creativity but make sure that what you choose is possible and can be brought into school. Also, even though their were 10 questions, some how previous kids were able to fit the answers on an egg. I think we just need to write the key phrases of the 10 answers on our object. Basically, the idea you choose should be at least the size of an egg but shouldn't be enormous since it needs to be brought into school.

Have fun . - and thanks

[b]EDIT: Be sure to include how to reveal the answers. There are a bunch of good ones in the posts but only a few say how to reveal the answers to her[/b]

Haha okay. Any other ideas? I'm trying to see how the invisible ink will work.

Will lemon juice ink, when heated, be able to be seen through binder material? White paper is more transparent and flimsy than binder material so I'm wondering whether or not we can use it.

Lemon juice can replace invisible ink. You take a pin or what not and write with it. When it dries, it disappears but you can see it if you bring it to the light.

First, tell her that you're not seven, we're all clearly in the same country.
Second, try the ingredients section on a pop bottle. Print out a new label, photoshop your answers onto the ingredients and daily value list, laminate it and paste it back on the bottle.
