Yeah yeah yeah.


Candle clock.

Nope.

 

[drizzle]

Sundial.

 

[micromass]

Sundial.

Nice

Should I go next, or do you want to?

 

[drizzle]

Nope, I only like to ask questions.

Go ahead :)

 

[micromass]

Fine, I got a new object.

 

[drizzle]

Does it fit in your hands?

 

[micromass]

Does it fit in your hands?

Yes. But you don't want it between your hands.

 

[drizzle]

Is it an animal?

 

[micromass]

Is it an animal?

Not at all.

 

[drizzle]

Is it metallic?

 

[micromass]

Is it metallic?

I don't know. Very likely not.

 

[drizzle]

Is it poisonous?

 

[micromass]

Is it poisonous?

If you try to swallow it, you'll be dead before you get close.

 

[drizzle]

Does it have a liquid form?

 

[micromass]

Does it have a liquid form?

I don't think of it as liquid, no.

 

[drizzle]

Is it a chemical compound?

 

[micromass]

Is it a chemical compound?

Nope. Not in the way you think.

 

[drizzle]

Is it a plant?

 

[micromass]

Is it a plant?

It's not alive. And if it is, then God help us.

 

[drizzle]

Wt... I need to sleep, and this round is not helping..

 

[drizzle]

So is it a dead plant?

 

[micromass]

So is it a dead plant?

It has never been a plant.

 

[drizzle]

Has it been used in wars?

 

[micromass]

Has it been used in wars?

Nope. And if somebody used it, then it would destroy that person too.

 

[drizzle]

Arghhhhhhhhhhh

Is it something that produces a poisonous gas?

 

[micromass]

Arghhhhhhhhhhh

Is it something that produces a poisonous gas?

Nope.

 

[drizzle]

Is it used for industrial purposes?

 

[micromass]

Is it used for industrial purposes?

Humans don't use it at all.

 

[drizzle]

Is it on earth?

 

[micromass]

Is it on earth?

Not typically.

 

[drizzle]

Ok. That's enough for me.

 

[sym666]

A black hole?

 

[micromass]

A black hole?

Indeed!

 

[sym666]

Indeed!

What the...I must have a high sugar level in blood today!
:)

 

[drizzle]

You're up next sym666! :)

Think of something and let us know when you're ready so we start the question answer session.

Oh sorry! I just have to think about an object? Must it be related to physics?

Anyway, I thought about something somehow tied to physics, but way less exotic than a black hole!

 

[drizzle]

Looks like I ruined the game, I'm the only questioner left.

I'll go first. Does it have anything to do with balance?

 

[sym666]

How could I deny it?

(that it has to do with balance, not that you ruined the game!)

 

[drizzle]

I guess I'll keep asking until someone jumps in and gives you a break.


Does it have a stand/rod?

 

[sym666]

I guess I'll keep asking until someone jumps in and gives you a break. Does it have a stand/rod?

Yes, it can be attached to other structures in many ways. It's a very common object, with an infinity of uses

 

[drizzle]

... I killed this thread.


Does it consist of more than one part?

 

[sym666]

... I killed this thread.


Does it consist of more than one part?

No, it's a single piece. A metallic segment, which you have to give a shape to. If you can't guess it, you can relax with a walk onto a mountain, and refresh yourself with a source of natural water... ;-)

 

[drizzle]

A nail/screw...?

 

[sym666]

A nail/screw...?

Nope, be more...elastic! :)

 

[micromass]

 

[drizzle]

I thought of keyring/chain, I'm not sure if there's infinite uses of it though..

 

[sym666]

You'r all almost there! Take Micromass' staple, or Gad's keyring and shape it a little more. You need to shape it in 3D, not on a plane. A keyring could be considered my object, when it's compressed at its limit. Both the clip and the keyring anyway have something in common with my object :-)

p.s. about my previous advice about a walk, I will add: "Going to natural sources of water is awesome in a warm season"

 

[drizzle]

I'd rather go to Colorado Springs.

 

[sym666]

I'd rather go to Colorado Springs.

Wise choice!

 

[micromass]

Nice one!

So, who is the new person who answers? Do you want to be it, Gad?
