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

[Inkspot] Normally used in the home.

CdM

Would most players of this game own one?

[Inkspot] I'd say that this company and this company are pretty clearly mass-producing diamonds.

Raak

[CdM] I expect most players would own one (or more).
Those companies aren't digging them out of the ground.

CdM

A toothbrush?

[Raak] No. They are producing them. En masse. Which is my point. If the answer on the card was "Diamonds", then the correct response to both "Occurring naturally?" and "Mass-produced?" would be "Yes".

How about chicken eggs as another example? Unless you take a very narrow view of mass-production, I think they would qualify. Or what about fresh water from a desalination plant?

Irouléguy

A knife?

I read Raak's answer as meaning that this particular thing doesn't occur naturally, rather than arguing that the two categories are mutually exclusive.

I Say, Porter!

Whisk?

still wondering at CdM's "mostly metal" toothbrush...

CdM

A razor?

[IS,P] Good point. I was actually meaning to ask razor before, but then somehow talked myself into toothbrush, along the way forgetting why I had dismissed that idea earlier.
