irtm sent ours i'm sure

I don't have yours.

Was waiting on another until this morning, so I didn't pester.

I don’t recall this agreement!

Gotta blame somebody!

Round 1
- Item did not exist 1000 years ago.
- Item will not fit in a 1m x 1m box.
- Item will not be found in most American households.
- Item is not >50% metal.
- Item will not fit in a 1m sphere (Note: Assuming the measurement to be diameter.)
- Item was not invented after 1900

Round 2
- Item not generally used outdoors.
- Item not larger than a cargo van. (You may interpret this as though the item will fit inside a cargo van)
- Does not cost over $100 on average
- Not mostly used for professional purposes
- Is not substantially circular in shape
- Does not require batteries or electricity to operate

Round 3
- Was not invented prior to 1800
- Inventor is not unknown
- Item is not mostly made of plastic or cloth
- Not typically bought >1 at a time
- Does not normally weigh over 5 pounds
- Not primarily used inside the house

Will accept round 4 questions.

Impressive that all 3 rounds we've gone exactly 50/50 with yes/no questions.

Bump for IRTM and PC94

IRTM needs to look at his PMs

I hate this game and I hate eb for inventing it.

Congrats to bolt and Nichp!

Looks like this wasn't as much fun as I was hoping. Sorry about that.

Me and Nich had a great time.

Yeah I’d play again

There was nothing wrong with it beyond needing 24 hour time limits...no questions in time and too bad you only get public knowledge

Would run great then

I support this. Even if my team was often the hold up.

These were the "yes" questions that Nick and I asked, which weren't shared with the group.

Is there more than 1 in existence
Was it created by humans
Can you find it for sale
Is it safe for children to use
Do they come in different sizes
Is it used outdoors
Can it be found for sale on Amazon.com
Is it used in athletics
Can a video advertisement (commercial) for its sale be found online


"Is it used in athletics" was the key, along with the fact that it normally weighs under 5 pounds and wouldn't fit in a 1m x 1m box.

lolwat?

We would've had hockey stick ages ago, except you said the object was stationary.

Was all over hockey stick until then and then ended up going on a wild goose chase.

The part about not sitting on the ground when in use is also a bit dubious imo.

It def does not sit on the ground when in use.

Its in your hands, often partially (or fully) in the air.

Even when they're moving the puck around? But that one didn't really bother me anyway, and I'm sure it's the "correct" answer. Saying that it's stationary is what really rustled my jimmies.

Was that a yes that you guys got? I dont recall that answer/ question.


Either way, saying that it's stationary seems beyond terrible assuming the question isn't worded in a awful way.

Yeah, you didn't see that question because we got a yes to it being stationary. We asked it about 3 rounds ago, and then crossed hockey sticks and raquets off the list of possibilites.

The question was “is it stationary?”

We also specifically chose not to ask the question “do you hold it in your hands when it’s in use” as a direct result of that answer.

It's no wonder we couldn't find anything that fit the criteria. Sigh.
