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.
[Riff, 1] No [Raak] No [barbacoa] No [Chalky, 1] Yes [Inkspot] No [Riff, 2] Ouch, no [Boolbar] No - but (clue alert) it probably contains one. [Breadmaster] No - although it might be adapted to perform this "roll" [Chalky, 2] Probably not.
Since I will wish to hand over the chair before leaving a little early this afternoon (probably about 4-5pm) I will give some hints as to what information would be very helpful, viz:
where it is most commonly found;
what it processes;
how it processes it.
I have a further clue up my sleeve which I will issue at about 3pm if we make no significant progress by then.
[Boolbar] No. [Chalky] The heat is part of the processing, not really moulding, and almost certainly not glass. [Boolbar] Yes. [Inkspot, 2] Not an office. [Inkspot, 3] I think not - although a small amount could be useful. [Raak] Hence, no.
I keep searching back to find the answers to the food processing question. rab - I know you're probably fairly busy, but can we eliminate food as we have done with paper?
[Chalky] Its primary function is not food related. However, less conventional uses of this device are limited only by our imagination, or perhaps an arbitrarily chosen numerical factor. [Raak] No - or at least, not in order to do interior decorating, electrifying, plumbing or similar trades.
[Chalky] However did you guess? [rab] Thank for those discreet and proper kudos. I shall arrange them artistically on my mantelpiece in a vase of water.
