0) It is vegetable and mineral.
1) Is it a made thing? Yes.
2) Would it usually be found in a kitchen? No. In fact, I would be rather surprised if it has ever been found in a kitchen.
3) Is it usually found indoors? Yes and no. These days, it's rarely found at all, but when found, it's probably usually indoors. However, when it was more common, it was usually found outdoors, so the answer depends on when the question is asked.
4) Is it triangular at all? No.
5) Does it hold liquid? Yes. It is essential that it does, but holding liquid is not its main use.
6) Could it be carried without assistance by the average human man? No.
7) Is it a thermometer? No.
8) Is it bigger than a bread box? Yes.
9) Does it have any parts that can be moved in the usual use of the object? Yes, plenty of them.
10) Is it a steam engine? No.

Do vegetable steam engines exist????

(an intelligent question in all other respects though)

vegetable and mineral. There is the coal/oil for heating and grease for lubing everything.

<giggling at the thought of a steam engine in my living room, then giggling more at a very large vegetable steamer...>

it is essential that it hold liquid. hmmm.

Is it normally stationary rather than easily moved?

Ah, but now you start to give away valuable hints...

We still have 9 questions to go, but I'm not good at dosing equally...

As it is not meant to move, I would suggest that is it not an automobile in the normal sense of the meaning.

I'm trying to think of what has wheels that is not meant to move.

We have 5 questions left...

Is it big enough for a person to use it as a house?

Violetmoon, I think you read the answer to 11) too quickly. It IS meant to move, so it is NOT normally stationary rather than easily moved.

0) It is vegetable and mineral.
1) Is it a made thing? Yes.

10) Is it a steam engine? No.

14) Did Ms Havisham break the land-speed record in it? No.
15) Is it an Austin Allegro? No.
16) Is it big enough for a person to use it as a house? No, not normally (although, as some unfortunate people live in cardboard boxes and the like, it depends on the person).

Marit, thank you, I was a bit tangled in the sentence structure. My fault, I'm sure. I rewrote it so my fuzzy little brain will keep it straight:

11) Is it normally stationary rather than easily moved? No. According to our favourite author, it can be difficult to start the moving of it, and a certain amount of skill is also needed for moving it further, but it is meant to move.

I was thinking maybe the submarine, but I guess not...

It has wheels but it's not meant to travel (we'll interpret move as travel as presumably bits of it move in operation).

Also, it's watertight as it's essential that it can contain liquid...

And finally it's heave or unwieldy.

Must cogitate.

ES, please read again: It IS meant to move!

Oh! (dum dum kitten!)

17) Do the wheels serve as the means for it's movement (as opposed to the mechanisms for it)?
