Re: 20 Questions...
Hmmm. So we have a man made object, something larger than a golf ball but not located on a desk or mounted on a wall, whose primary purpose is to provide entertainment, requires electrical power from battery or mains, but does not communicate via Bluetooth, yet contains both metal and plastic and exists to Rudi's right hand side.
We haven't pinned down size very well. I remember the old 20 Questions radio show of the '40s and '50s where the size question was usually phrased something like, "Is it bigger than an bread box but smaller than the Empire State Building?" That's quite a range for size; so I'm going to ask if it is bigger than a PC ATX tower case but smaller than a china cabinet?

Re: 20 Questions...
Hey Bob, I was wondering when someone might come up with more investigative questions as referenced in those older game shows. The questions to date have been very "lightweight".BobH wrote:I'm going to ask if it is bigger than a PC ATX tower case but smaller than a china cabinet?
As for your "weightier" question, it's yes for both.

Re: 20 Questions...
I might be the only one here old enough to remember those shows, Rudi.
The first question always asked was, "Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?" Of course, the questions thus far have eliminated animal and vegetable; so we are proceeding on the basis that it is primarily mineral (metal, plastic).

Re: 20 Questions...
Please post a summary of the questions and answers so far, to help ensure we don't ask the same ones again...

Re: 20 Questions...
Does it receive and act on broadcast signals (like a TV, radio, cellphone, Satnav etc.)?

Re: 20 Questions...
I think we should have one question back, 'cos I have no idea what Hans was thinking when he suggested it might be a mobile phone. It's a long time since I saw one of those that was bigger than a PC ATX tower case!
