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 ....

CdM

Is it significantly longer than it is wide?

Phil

[CdM] Length much > width? Not necessarily, but can be.

Rosie

A crawling board?

Phil

[Rosie] Crawling board? NO

Dujon

Is this designed to protect?

Phil

[Dujon] Designed to protect? Partially YES, but not exclusively to protect.

Software

Is it something like ivy, which covers a house and can project but may not be considered decorative?

That was a lot of words!

Phil

[Software] Something like ivy? NO

Chalky

Would it normally contain something?

Phil

[Chalky] A container? NO

ImNotJohn

Easily portable?

Phil

[INJ] Easily portable? NO

Rosie

Some kind of door or entrance?

CdM

We know that it is wholly vegetable but only partially made out of wood. So
Is it primarily (say, more than 90%) wood?

Phil

[Rosie] Door or entrance? NO
[CdM] > 90% wood? NO

Chalky

Is the bit that's not wood some form of natural vegetation?

Phil

[Chalky Ntural vegetation? Not in its original form. Don't forget that this has been "contructed", although that is not the most ideal word to convey what has happened to the vegetable constituents.

CdM

Is it fewer than 10% wood?

[Phil] I just did that to annoy you. :-)

Rosie

If not "constructed" would "fashioned" or "sculpted" (either) be a more appropriate description?
