mc5 - Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game

The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Oops

[Clue#3] - it has two sides - the one I'm thinking of is the happy/desirable side.

rab

Is it ambience?

Boolbar

Is it the act of winning?

Inkspot

Red Sky at Night?

From all that, I interperet it as being a natural occurance or event, the quincunx which I interperet from a quick browse as illustrating 'randomness'(is this right), is the scientific/maths a blind alley which leads down to something measurable even on Mars

Kim

Does is have anything to do with the weather?

Kim

Software

Would I be pleased to have/be this?

Dazed5

Is it 'time'?

Inkspot

Is it a naturally occuring event?

I suppose I should ask in case I suppose erroneously

Bob the dog

Even if Boolbar is not right, its a damn clever answer.

Analysing the analysing ...

rab - No, but getting closer
Boolbar - No, not exactly, but excellent guess. Winning could be considered a part of 'it'
Inkspot - No, but the portent itself has a connection
Kim - Not directly
Software - Yes
Dazed - No
Inkspot - Yes to 'occurring event' as for 'natural' - I would say more 'yes' than 'no', although the mathematics might prove otherwise [Clue#4]
