Rules:
- It must be a general thing, like a piece of paper, not specific, like the piece of paper taped to the monitor of this computer which says to go to the computing site in the basement for a real good time (or something like that).
- Each member has 20 YES or NO questions to figure out what the thing is.
- Whoever guesses the thing I'm thinking of gets to think of the next thing.
- When answering a question, put the question in a quote by clicking the "QUOTE" button in the "Instant UBB Code™" section and copying and pasting the question in between the quote tags.
- Keep a running total of each player's "questions remaining" following your answer.

Example:
quote:
Is it bigger than a shoehorn?
Yes.
Phil H: 19, Brad M: 20, Joe R: 16, Jennifer P: 17

Non YES or NO questions are not answered, but count as a "Question Asked"
I'll go first.
I'm thinking of something.

Yes.
So, to review (not required, but a nice thing to do):
- It is not bigger than a baby's arm (at least not any of the babys I've seen).
- It is not edible.
- It is an electronic device.
- It does not have wheels.
- It is not my newest CD.
- It is not in my pants.
- The jury is still out on wether it's in Phil's pants(it's probably not).
And the score currently stands thus:
Brad M: 19, Kurt Z: 18, William H: 19, Carl M: 19, Bob M: 18, Mitchel D: 19, Jeremy F: 19, Adam W: 19, Clint K: 19, Jennifer P: 19

Posted by John Lasher (Member # 968) on 03-14-2005, 11:57 AM:
Adam got it! It's a 3.5" floppy drive.
- It's not bigger than a baby's arm, provided that the arm is bent at the elbow.
- It's not an animal.
- It's not in my pants.
- It doesn't have wheels.
- It's not edible.
- It's an electronic device.
- It has a button on the front of it that ejects the disk.
- It can hold music/files (not much music, unless it's in midi format, or really super high compressed mp3/wma s).
- There's a LED on the front that lights up when the disk is being read.
- When it's reading a disk it makes a clickety sound.
So now the scores are reset and it's Adam's turn to think of something.

All I can say is that its not a reel to reel tape recorder (though I wish I had one) or a key of any kind. It didn't cost me anything, but to buy one it would be less than $100 I believe. I don't have an answer to any of your other questions, sorry!

Nope.
Unless it a 100 year old antique, EVERY record player or turntable I have ever seen uses electicity and therefore an electronic device. I think I have been cheated.
Posted by Adam Wilbert (Member # 1184) on 04-03-2005, 08:22 PM:
while i don't know the record player in question, I usually think of electronic as involving computers or circuit boards. Everything else is just "electrical". My toaster is electric, but I wouldn't say its "electronic"... ???

That was pretty much the logic I used. Plus the turntable doesnt plug into an outlet, it goes to a receiver that goes to the outlet. So I don't think I was wrong in how I answered really. Sorry for the confusion Mitchell.
Posted by Mitchell Dvoskin (Member # 751) on 04-04-2005, 09:19 AM:
By every dictionary definition I can find, anything that uses electricity in a controlled fashion is an "electronic" device. Look it up. Even the cartridge on the tone arm is an electronic device, as it generates electricity to produce sound. The fact that your turntable's motor gets it's electricity from a receiver rather than directly from a wall outlet does not alter the fact that it is an electronic device.
By your argument, a movie projector is not an electric device since the motor is an external object, and your lamp house is not an electric device since it gets it's power from an external rectifier. Give me a break.
This games sucks.
Posted by Darryl Spicer (Member # 711) on 04-04-2005, 10:23 AM:
I agree with Mitchell here. I think in future question and answer rounds if the question arises we should consider it both ways or combine the two Electrical/Electronic since both involve electricity. Wether it be AC or DC current.
Back to the game.
So Jen,
Does it have strings?

Response has been so slow as of late...maybe it's time for the mods to put this thread out of its misery if things do not pick up.
To summarize the responses so far...
- It's a thing, larger than a loaf of Weber's Bread (or a loaf of any other brand of sandwich bread, for that matter) and smaller than a Maytag front-loader washer (or any other model of full-sized washing machine).
- It's not: a person, window, rug, cockroach, or dog; normally found in a bedroom; found in anyone's incontinence briefs or underwear; used to mow lawns; or smaller than a loaf of bread.

Hmm. Tricky. Lets say its right around five years old. (not sure of its month of release, assuming it's release date is equal to its "birth" date.)
quote: Rachel Gilardi
Is it somehow related to the RHPS?
I had to google "rhps" to find out. So, no, its not related to Rocky Horror.
