Its purpose is not entertainment. It is located in the UK. It was built for transportation purposes. I'm not sure if it's regarded as old-fashioned. It's not a train.
It does not cross the river Forth. It is not on the A5. The name does supply a vegetable connotation. But it's such a punnish and abstruse one, that to be honest I can't recommend this line of investigation. It is not the Prince of Wales' bridge on the M4. It is not the Menai bridge. If you don't want a hint, read no further. Hidden textRemember that this is a mechanical device.
It is not a suspension bridge. Reconfiguration has me stumped. I think the best answer is No, but only because the standard functioning configuration defines its usage under all circumstances. But Yes might also be possible.
Right answer! A nice piece of engineering not far from me. Also an example of "The A-Road, Interrupted". Sadly it's out of service at the moment and could well never get back into operation. So congrats to Tuj, to whom the baton is being delivered via a gondola.
Is it the feeling of never having heard of the Tees Transporter Bridge then being amply compensated by having now heard of the Tees Transporter Bridge?
[SM] NO. If I'd set that and there wasn't a guess straight away, that could have taken years! [RTG] NO. Although, to be strictly honest, YES it can be linked. Hidden textThat feeling seems to me like something that might have been named by Liff, but it's possible my thoughts are being influenced by my main source of the feeling being my job QCing British geographic data!
[R] NO. Well, no more than your average abstract does. Or maybe slightly more. I need to ask a blind person! [CdM] NO. I *think* this one is inarguable!
If you were standing in front of Raak and Chalky, one of whom always tells the truth and the other of whom always lies, and both know the AOTC, and all of you know the foregoing but you do not know which one is the truth teller, and you were to ask Raak "if you asked Chalky if the AOTC begins with the letter P, is it the case that she wouldn't not say 'No'?", is it the case that he wouldn't not say yes?
[C] YES. Unless I've made a mistake! Are you? :P Hidden textIf I had chosen the AOTC to be something related to lying all the time, and gave the opposite answer to every question... that would have been very brave indeed! [SM] NO! Hidden textHonestly, NO!
[C] Interpreting that as asking whether this thing has always existed: YES. [B] NO. But the audience, who applauded the previous question, make appreciative noises.
[B] NO. [C1] YES is the useful answer. A strict and slightly tedious reading of your question could yield the answer NO. [C2] NO. (but good to know I got your logic question correct!) [R] YES, it seems, but probably not significantly for a very long time.
This AVMA seemed like an interesting idea when I thought of it, but in hindsight probably was a mistake. :) And my commitment to exemplifying the AOTC with my answers has left me unable to communicate any nuance in my responses. You are all being too specific; the AOTC is a general (and very simple concept) that is a feature of many of the guesses you have collectively made.
[bl] Not a mythical creature. [B] Not fictional. [SM] The animals that could be involved are all chordates. [T] Not a hedgehog that thinks it's the King. Neither, for that matter, it is an elephant that thinks it's President Putin, nor a platypus that thinks it's Napoleon.
[T] That could be considered a political matter these days. [R] Yes, that's a reasonable description. The few who do not have it might kick up a storm about the AOTC being ableist, hence previous answer.
As I'm feeling generous, here are a few hints. 1. You'll probably need to come at this from both angles. That is, you need to identify what kind of thing the MINERAL thing is, and you will also need to figure out the ABSTRACT connection. 2. Most, probably all, of you won't actually know the specific wording of the AOTC. But an equivalent identifying phrase is acceptable (and, once you've figured that out, the AOTC would be a quick google away). 3. Despite (2), most, probably all, of you know the ABSTRACT connection and most—though probably not all— have in some sense encountered the MINERAL AOTC.
There are lots of geographical features associated with fiction, spanning the spectrum from Rockall to the Marianas trench. Does it span more than one country?
This might be a good point to suggest you re-read my earlier hints. I suppose you could eventually get to the answer via geographic elimination, but that will be boring and might take a while. You won’t get there by guessing the names of mountains that you know; I doubt if any of you know this mountain by name. So I’d suggest following the abstract connection, which I promise you is not obscure.
