As we are 1/3 of the way in, I will let you all know that there is one question (beside the first) that was poorly asked. The answer given was to the question asked, not to what the asker meant.

14) Are you referring to ((question 7) OR (question 10) OR (question 11) OR (question 13))?

Here are my notes for why I'm singling these ones out:
"7) Is it intended to be [B]eaten[/B]?" As already mentioned, but mostly rejected by his brain fart comment, there's a chance it's still for human consumption.
"10) Is it [B]made from something[/B] that would naturally be excreted as waste from the animal?" manure might fit this since it's not made from a waste product, but is a waste product; if you stretch the definition of #2 and aren't sure of the answer to #7, manure might still be valid.
"11) Is it used to produce sound when [B]blow[/B]?" should be "blown", so he could've answered no to "blow" when "blown" would've made a yes, plus we don't know if it's intended to make sound another way, like plucking a string.
"13) Is it a [B]medical product[/B]?" not sure of the definition of "medical product" assumed, but it might not be the same one intended.

If the answer is a yes, we have it narrowed to 4 questions, if no, it's still narrowed to 8.

Two possible thoughts occur to me concerning the rogue question which Uncwilly answered literally rather than in the way the questioner meant.

It might have been question 9 (my question :blush:) because not everything which is "worn" is clothing. For example leather shoes: but question 8 would seem to rule them out.

Or it might have been question 8 because maybe the cow is already dead before the object can be made (for example, gelatine).

I'll try the second idea out with this question:

15) Is it made, at least partly, from cows' bones and/or internal organs?

16) Is it directly derived from an animal [as opposed to something that is the output of further processing after extracting something from said animal]?

Regardless of the answer, someone else can take up the next q.

eg:- milk vs cheese. milk = directly derived. cheese = further processed.

BTW, you are not likely to ever have had raw milk. :devil:
