mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Raak

[jim] Yes! On or orbiting Mars!

Raak

I confidently expect to see the right answer tomorrow morning.

Rosie

The Mars Odyssey craft?

Or one of the other handful.

CdM

Spirit or Opportunity?

Raak

[Rosie] Nor the Odyssey.
[CdM} Yes! Spirit or Opportunity. But which one?

ImNotJohn

Count me out

I'll be incommunicado for the full 4 days of the weekend so I refuse to guess.

Raak

Actually, one of the earlier answers is enough to decide the matter, with a bit of research.

CdM

Opportunity?

I think that's right.

Raak

[CdM] Yes! Mars does have a meridian defined, according to which Spirit is in the Eastern Hemisphere, Opportunity in the Western. *passes CdM a spare robot arm*

CdM

[Raak] So if I had asked, "Located in the Western hemisphere?", you would have answered yes, and we would have been chasing wild geese for a long time.

ANIMAL with VEGETABLE connections

A boar's head with an apple in its mouth?
