[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;234572]All specific things mentioned as examples (a modern car, a modern computer, etc.) can be clearly eliminated, so it's none of those.[/QUOTE]
How did you eliminate a modern car? |
[QUOTE=cheesehead;234575](14) Is it one of multiple identical, or practically identical items?[/QUOTE]It is still lavalamp's turn. The answer to #13 was a yes, see rule 4.

[QUOTE=axn;234577]How did you eliminate a modern car?[/QUOTE]
With this: "No, there is no selection of colors." Admittedly, if the object is a particular modern car or a very unusual class of modern car, there might be no selection of colors, so my assessment wasn't necessarily 100% accurate. But it does eliminate common general types of modern cars (e.g. it can't be a type of car like "Chevy Volt" or "VW Beetle" or whatnot). Uncwilly, on #10, can you please clarify which definition you answered Yes to? Was it, as I assumed, this definition? "Would something that is battery powered be considered "chemically powered"? Would you considered a camper that resides in the bed of a pickup to be 'chemically powered', because the pick-up that moves it is chemically powered?" |

Question 6 might help out. |
14) Since it is chemically powered, but does not use a heat engine, does it contain a fuel cell?
|
[QUOTE=lavalamp;234608]14) Since it is chemically powered, but does not use a heat engine, does it contain a fuel cell?[/QUOTE]No, it does not contain a fuel cell.
Next person. |
(15) Is it made to transport more than two people?
(I would've just said "Can it hold ..." but how much you can fit in/on something isn't the same as what it's made to carry) |
[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;234633](15) Is it made to transport more than two people?[/QUOTE]You made a brave assumption that is is made to transport people.
Yes, it is made to transport more than 2. You have the next go. |
[QUOTE=Uncwilly;234634]You made a brave assumption that is is made to transport people.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps, but I'd think most things that are 'a form of transport' in this size range are made to transport people. (16) Does it move under its own power? |
[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;234635](16) Does it move under its own power?[/QUOTE]No, it does not.
Next person. [lavalamp's 12 hour pause has not expired yet.] |
This puzzle format reminds a little bit of charades:
[quote="Blackadder"]"Ah ha. Lets see if I've got this straight." "If I admit that I'm in love with ..." [guard shakes his head] "No?" [guard does a half somersault] "Oh, If I say that I'm [i]head over heels[/i] in love with Satan and all his little wizards, you will remove my testicles with a blunt instrument resembling some kind of gardening tool, but we can't quite make that out, and roast them over a large fire." "Whereas, if I don't admit that I'm head over heels in love with Satan and all his little wizards, you will hold me upside down in a vat of warm marmalade." [Blackadder sees the guard expecting more] "... [b]and[/b] remove my testicles with a blunt instrument resembling some kind of gardening tool." [guard nods] "Well in that case, I love Satan." [guard produces a scythe] "Oh, it's a [i]scythe[/i]."[/quote] (17) Does it have sails? |
