40 questions round 2
 

The rules as they currently stand:

1.) 4 hour sit-outs instead of 24.
2.)Strictly question, answer, question, answer ... A "yes" answer means you get to ask another question. If you don't ask again within 8 hours someone else can step in.
3.)The only other comments allowed are suggested changes to the rules or requests for rule clarifications.

I'll start with "[B]Animal[/B]".

Use caution in your questions, here be dragons.

1) is it a chordate ?

[QUOTE=science_man_88;237373]1) is it a chordate ?[/QUOTE]

Note: we should be careful of taking the answer to this too literally, since it's very possible that it is not a living animal, (e.g. a cow or fish) but anything that is mainly animal-sourced (e.g. milk, wool sweater).
Perhaps it would be a good idea, every 5-10 questions, to ask if the last 5-10 answers were actually relevant. Would that question be allowed?

[QUOTE=science_man_88;237373]1) is it a chordate ?[/QUOTE]I will answer [B]yes[/B]. Your question is flawed and I could have properly answered no and been factually correct. Yes, gives you the answer to the question you should have asked instead.

Edit: This being only the opening salvo in round 2 is why you earned this grace. Later on, no mercy.

2) is it man made ?

[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;237374]Perhaps it would be a good idea, every 5-10 questions, to ask if the last 5-10 answers were actually relevant. Would that question be allowed?[/QUOTE]Yes, but it would count toward the total.

3) does it being made involve a mammal (not man) ?

[QUOTE=science_man_88;237383]3) does it being made involve a mammal (not man) ?[/QUOTE][B]Yes.[/B]


I would suggest that a new rule be added:

4) is it made from a placental mammal ?

7) Is it intended to be eaten?

I inadvertently answer 7 incorrectly:

With this correction, I suppose questions 8 and 9 are thrown out as they follow on from it.

In that case:

10) Is it made from something that would naturally be excreted as waste from the animal?
(Not sure where this is going.)

[QUOTE=Flatlander;237539]10) Is it made from something that would naturally be excreted as waste from the animal?[/QUOTE][B][COLOR="Red"]No.[/COLOR][/B]

Hm, I'm wondering if when the answer for 7 was changed from yes to no, that was just a simple mistake or ... pedantry dun dun DUUUUUN. If the answer were milk for instance, then TECHNICALLY, the answer would be no.

If it is not for humans to eat OR drink, then it could still be used by some humans if it was something like bovine insulin. I'm not sure if that can be extracted without killing the animal, but I would assume so.

If it is not for any kind of human consumption, then I'm thinking it could be manure.

Edit: I guess it's not manure then.

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.

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;237614]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.[/QUOTE]

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.

[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;237619]14) Are you referring to ((question 7) OR (question 10) OR (question 11) OR (question 13))?[/QUOTE][B][COLOR="Red"]No.[/COLOR][/B]

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?

[QUOTE=Brian-E;237730]15) Is it made, at least partly, from cows' bones and/or internal organs?[/QUOTE][B][COLOR="Red"]No.[/COLOR][/B]

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.

Another clue!:smile: You seem to be thinking of some finished product ready for sale to the general public rather than what a farm might produce.
I guess we already know it isn't human milk. And the rabbit is probably a red herring. But the pancake...? Hmm.
Well, we still have plenty of questions.

17) Is it made, at least partly, from skin, horn or hooves of an animal?

BEWARE. His comment may well be a commentary on your ability to formulate pedantically accurate questions and not at all related to the material that you are attempting to identify.

[QUOTE=Wacky;237771]BEWARE. His comment may well be a commentary on your ability to formulate pedantically accurate questions and not at all related to the material that you are attempting to identify.[/QUOTE]
No doubt it was. Though of course what someone literally says can also reveal other thought processes, and in this case we are definitely trying to read his mind.

Still, don't take my comments too seriously, they were meant to be light hearted.

[QUOTE=Brian-E;237766]17) Is it made, at least partly, from skin, horn or hooves of an animal?[/QUOTE][B]Yes.[/B]

18) Is it solid state and structurally rigid?

[QUOTE=Brian-E;237782]18) Is it solid state and structurally rigid?[/QUOTE][B][COLOR="Red"]No[/COLOR][/B]

viz. milk, curd, ghee, urine and dung. is what I found for cow products on one website, All but three are basically eliminated that I know of. I don't believe leather is truly knocked out as it doesn't have to be completely rigid.

Nothing is [I]too[/I] certain, but remember "17) Is it made, at least partly, from skin, horn or hooves of an animal? Yes." That would seem to most likely eliminate everything from that category. I just think that leather, or some leather product, is a very likely candidate.
