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 ....

cfm

Do the words on the card refer to an intellectual process?

Dujon

Is this something which might be described as a 'skill'?

jim

[cfm] NO, not an intellectual process.
[Dujon] It MIGHT be, but any such description would be VERY tongue-in-cheek.

Tuj

A human invention?

CdM

Does it begin with P?

jim

[Tuj] YES, in so far as it can be termed an invention. A human concept, certainly.
[CdM] NO, does not begin with P.

gil

Is it useful?

jim

[gil] I would have to say YES, it is useful in a sense, although some would disagree.

Boolbar

Was it known about in 1900?

jim

[Boolbar] YES, it was known about in 1900.

Software

Flair?

jim

[Softers] NO, not flair.

Phil

Luck?

CdM

Was it known 3000 years ago?

jim

[Phil] Alas, no luck.
[CdM] NO, it was not known 3000 years ago.
I think we need to further narrow things down before guessing. All the guesses so far have been pretty wide of the mark. Oh, and re cfm's question above, it is certainly related to an intellectual process, but I couldn't say that it was one.

Phil

Is it related to religion?

jim

[Phil] NO, it is not related to religion. (I could make a facetious comment here, but I shall refrain.)

Software

Do we do this every day?

jim

[Software] I expect that very few, if any, people make/do this every single day. Some do more than others. Some pride themselves on never doing it at all.
