It's disappointing because it's basically no challenge. "Write something interesting about food" was a good challenge, but anyone could come up with "ah, just write something."
It's interesting because it leaves the field wide open to wild interpretation. It will be fun to see what happens when there are no boundaries. I thought of a few possibilities.
- A post with no text and no title.
- A story that features lots of nothingness. (e.g., "she gave me a piece of paper and said, 'here's my number; call me', but the paper was blank!")
- Could you write something consisting entirely of questions? Did anyone else notice the title of the challenge was "question mark?"
- Write something about a directionless void, and make the whole thing black text on a black background. Users have to select it all to read it.

I thought of doing each of the previous challenges in one entry, on the subject of mystery:
-Mystery food (maybe school cafeteria mystery meat, or eating in a foreign country)
-Mystery bygone technology
-Photograph of something mysterious
-An interview with a mystery guest
-A mysterious new product
But in the end I was too lazy.
I like the "black on black" idea. You could also take a picture and use your photo editing software of choice to either chop it into pieces that have to be sorted out or blurred and distorted just beyone recognition...
