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 ....

Is the 'structure' a 3-dimensional solid?

Taking something on paper or a flat surface to be 2-dimensional (to silence the quibblers)

Chalky

[Kim] Fixed? Difficult to answer. Strictly speaking [insofar as the answer on the card is concerned] the 'structures' are fixed but under other circumstances might well be free-standing.

[INJ] 3 - dimensional? To be exact [insofar as the answer on the card is concerned] - NO but under other circumstances I would reply YES.

It may be helpful to find out more about the man rather than the 'structures', even though they are inextricably linked.

Rosie

Does the name of the objects contain the person's name?

Irouléguy

Did he die in the 19th century?

Chalky

[Rosie] Do the 'objects' contain the person's name - YE-E-ES.
[Irouléguy] Die in 19th century? YES

Sneaking in ...

Thomas Bruce, the Seventh Earl of Elgin?

Chalky

[Hi Software - welcome to this little conundrum] Thos Bruce, 7Th Earl etc? NO

CdM

Did this person develop a certain technique/style/method of doing something that is now named after him, so the objects are known as (something like) '<:Name>-ian <Things>'?

Rosie

Is he a painter?

Chalky

[CdM] Technique/style/method etc. Hmmm - the way he did it is not necessarily named after him [see answer to Rosie's question] but the content of what he produced most certainly is. The 'objects' in question are definitely known the way you have described.
[Rosie] Painter? A resounding YES!

CdM

William Turner?
