That was one of the things I was thinking of as well, which is why I asked if it spins. Also could cover a top, and hopefully a toy car or truck (wheels spin).

I thought of that either, but I didn't think the extra info for Q9 would make much sense. A slinky would be either all metal or all plastic.

It could be that. There's probably some metal springs or screws or something in the internal workings.

(Especially since Eric mentioned airport x-rays, which may lead us to believe that the metal isn't obvious)

Hmm...a Rubik's Cube spins IMO. The only way you use it is by spinning.
