Maybe the object is a really small woman

Should ask if it's considered a utensil? It could be something like a grill fork, for example. That fits so far.

It eliminates a lot either way, so...

Q - is it considered a utensil?

0. Object
1. Would fit in rtspurs' 1 square metre box
2. Man-made
3. Not primarily made for human consumption
4. Smaller than a basketball
5. Not smaller than a ping pong ball (in most dimensions)
6. Would be considered a semi-common household item, or a semi-common item in a toolshed
7. Would be most likely found in a kitchen
8. Not used primarily for cutting, sharpening, slicing, peeling, whisking or coring
9. Does not require electricity or gas or batteries
10. Object is always roughly the same size
11. Would not be very unusual to see this object being used outside of the kitchen
12. Is for sale on Amazon
13. Is considered a utensil

Is it primarily used for eating or drinking? (as opposed to cooking/grilling, for example)

Given it's only semi-common it's not a straight up fork or spoon. But could be a special variety of one of those.

I assume chopsticks are ruled out by the dimensions thing

agreed

Ask if its for eating or drinking imo

Oh wait, what utensil can you use for drinking?

I had soup related utensils in mind when I asked that, but that could be considered eating.

non fork/spoon item that qualifies right now - claw crackers. As a different thought.

The next question will likely be whether it's a spoon, a fork, or either. I'm just trying to come up with a list of possibles to determine which Q is best.

It's a spork!

It probably is now that YOU have said so, lol.

I'm gonna be busy on and off tonight. Someone can take the baton.

Is it a type of spoon?

is the complete list of utensils used for eating or drinking. Began searching on amazon, but have no time to finish this. couldn't find the cutty. some (like coffe spoon or caviar spoon, might be too small to fit the dimension question or, like chinese spoon, be too big)

with 5 questions left we must reduce this sample to 32 possibilities to be sure to solve it

Keep in mind it's "semi-common", so it's not gonna be super obscure.

Probably just a spoon lol

I have narrowed it down to 30 based on use and Amazon availability. I excluded stiring/serving spoons since you don't use them to eat. Can probably whittle this down more based on being either too common or too obscure (i.e. not "semi-common").

Possible question:

Is it used well over half the time for a single food item?

Actually, let's just make that question official.
