Where's Waldo?

[ceptimus]

I started up a thread with these rules on another forum nearly three years ago, and it's still going, though that forum is very low traffic nowadays. I thought I'd give the same idea a try here.

Rules:-

0. If you're a newbie to this thread, ignore the rules and start playing (go to the end of the thread). Playing is (hopefully) fun. These rules suck.

1. Ask questions. The 'Answerer' can only answer yes or no. Your object is to guess Waldo's location.

2. First person to correctly identify Waldo's location posts the next 'Where's Waldo' puzzle (becoming the new 'Answerer').

3. Each poster to the thread can post as many questions as they like, as often as they like, but...

4. Only one 'alphabet' question will be answered per poster per day. By an alphabet question I mean something like, 'The name of the country Waldo is in, does it start with a letter in the alphabet before M?' This same rule goes for latitude and longitude questions too (though you can usually disguise these questions by using placenames - and that's ok).

5. Each poster can make one formal guess per day. They need to make it clear that it is their guess - something like, 'OK I'm guessing Waldo is on top of the Eiffel Tower'.

6. Even if their guess is wrong, a poster can still ask other questions on the same day - but of course, they may just be helping their opponents by doing so.

7. What constitutes the start and end of a day, and how often the questions are answered is at the discretion of the current Answerer.

8. If the Answerer is absent for more than 36 hours without making excuses first, anyone can jump in and be the new Answerer.

OK. Here goes with round one:

Waldo is outdoors, looking at a sculpture.

[beyelzu]

is he in europe?

[Crumb]

Is Waldo in Europe?

I hope I am doing this right...

[beyelzu]

copycat

[ceptimus]

Nope, Waldo isn't in Europe.

You can ask lists of questions if you like - maybe something like:

Is Waldo in the northern hemisphere?
Is he in Spain?
The artist that made the sculpture - is (s)he still alive?
Is the sculpture made of metal?
or rock?
or marzipan?

... and so on. :)

[godfry n. glad]

Is the sculpture modern style or more recent?

[livius drusus]

Is he in a park?

[beyelzu]

can waldo see the great wall of china from his location?


can waldo see a terra cotta soldier?

is waldo in giza?

is waldo in a country that starts with a letter that occurs before m in the alphabet, yes i copied that questin from you but it struck me as a good one.

[godfry n. glad]

Is he in the southern hemisphere?

[Ari]

Is Waldo wearing his stripped hat?
Is that strange wizard guy with him?
Is waldo drunk?

Is waldo in america?
Is the sculpture of a person?

[ceptimus]

Is the sculpture modern style or more recent?
Hmmm. :chin: I don't really know what I'm talking about when it comes to these art classifications. :blush:

...but I have an escape! :P I'm only supposed to answer yes or no, so perhaps you could restate your question something like, 'Was the sculpture made in the twentieth century?'

In my opinion, the sculpture is in a modern style, but like I said, I'm clueless when it comes to art...

[Crumb]

Is the sculpture white?

[ceptimus]

Is he in a park?
:nope:

No.

Summary: Waldo is outside somewhere in the USA, looking at a non-white sculpture, not in a park. ceptimus thinks the sculpure is kinda modern looking, but it's not a sculpture of a person, and it's not made of rock.

[ceptimus]

Is Waldo in the USA?
Oops I missed this one :blush: But I already covered it in my summary - the answer was yes. :yup:

Waldo wasn't wearing his hat at the moment you asked your question - he'd taken it off while he was photographing the sculpture.

Waldo has a large collection of hats, so obviously he has left some of them at home.

Maybe. :P



Okay. Waldo is somehwere in N.Y. state.

[ceptimus]

Is the animal a quadriped?

No.

No.

No.

[ceptimus]

No
No (Good idea, asking about the size, bey, :thumbup: )

[godfry n. glad]

[ceptimus]

:unnope:

[ceptimus]

Is the sculpture in California?

Is the sculpture memorial?
No.
Yes. (people might nit-pick on this one, but I say yes)
No.

Okay, time for another summary:

Waldo is looking at a sculpture, outdoors, in a public place, somewhere in New York state, but not close to the sea. The sculpture is less than 30 feet tall, is made largely of bronze and appears to be in a fairly modern style. It's of some kind of ape creature but there doesn't appear to be any kind of plaque or other information attached or nearby (as far as ceptimus can see).

[Legs]

Is the primate a langoor?

[Widget]

Is he at Hartwick College?

[ceptimus]

Is the primate a langoor?
:ffno:

[Legs]

Widget got it :hyper:

http://www.kandervision.com/homepix/giganto3-640c.jpg

[ceptimus]

Is he at Hartwick College?
Yes!
Now we see the danger of posting a question like this. :) The answer is visible to all. :eek: Who will be first to pounce now with the "I guess that Waldo is looking at such-and-such a statue at Hartwick College" and so win the crown of answerer? :wriggle: Could it be a newbie to the thread, or someone who has only lurked, so far? :popcorn:

[ceptimus]

Widget got it :hyper:

http://www.kandervision.com/homepix/giganto3-640c.jpg
No (I mean he's not got it yet)! According to the rules, someone has to make a formal guess. :D

[Legs]

I guess that Waldo is looking at the Gigantopithecus statue at Hartwick College" :wriggle:

[livius drusus]

Bravi!
:applaud:

[ceptimus]

I guess that Waldo is looking at the Gigantopithecus statue at Hartwick College" :wriggle:
:victory: And we have a winner! :winner: Waldo is indeed looking at that statue.

Okay Legs, you get to relocate Waldo and be the new answerer. Where is he now?

[Legs]

I feel pretty bad that I type faster than Widget and stole his answer :giggles:

Okay, Waldo is on a Bridge. Please name the Bridge/Location and he is looking at art.

[beyelzu]

is the bridge in america?


is the bridge red in color?

is the bridge made of concrete?


is it a suspenion bridge?

does the bridge set some sort of world record?

[Legs]

[Legs]

Is waldo wearing his hat? yes

Is he drunk? :nojustno:

Is he in Asia? no

[livius drusus]

Is Waldo in Italy?

[Legs]

Is Waldo in Italy? :nope:

[livius drusus]

:darn:

[Ari]

Can you drive on the bridge?
Is that why waldo isn't drunk?
Is he looking at a painting?

[livius drusus]

Is Waldo in Europe?
Is the art in an edifice on the bridge?
Is Ari tripping?

[Legs]

Can you drive on the bridge? no

Is that why waldo isn't drunk? no

Is he looking at a painting? yes

Is Waldo in Europe? yes

Is the art in an edifice on the bridge? No*

Is Ari tripping? Most definately :rush:

Edifice: Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin aedificium, from aedificare
1 : BUILDING; especially : a large or massive structure
2 : a large abstract structure

[livius drusus]

Stupid definitions. :mutter:

Is the art in a building of any size on the bridge?

Is the bridge west of the Rhine?

[Legs]

Is the art in a building of any size on the bridge? I would have to say No

Is the bridge west of the Rhine? Again, no

[beyelzu]

is the art part of the bridge?

is the bridge in a former soviet bloc country?

[Legs]

is the art part of the bridge? :hellyes:

[godfry n. glad]

In Spain? Oops. Italy?

[livius drusus]

She said the bridge is not west of the Rhine. Summary, Legsy?

[Legs]

:blink: If this is the Rhine, then my answer is no.. The Bridge is not West of the Rhine. (running North/South)

[godfry n. glad]

Ergo, it is east of the Rhine. Spain is not east of the Rhine. Italy is.

[Legs]

Oops. Italy? No

[godfry n. glad]

Do we for some reason think it's in Germany. I thought all that had been established is that art is the bridge, or part of the bridge, it's not part of the Soviet bloc nations, but it's in Europe. Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia.

[godfry n. glad]

Scandinavia?

[Legs]

Scandinavia? No

[Nightson]

Is the bridge in Germany?

Is the piece of art a statue?

[Legs]

Is the bridge in Germany? No

In 1993 it was almost destroyed by fire, but has been rebuilt now. Much of the artwork was destroyed. Most of the paintings had a skeleton in them. :vibes:

It's not a rock.

I'm guessing Waldo is looking at a plaque explaining the Halifax Explosion of 1917, when two warships collided detonating tons of explosives and killing thousands.

No. I read that plaque, too. It's in Halifax, far to the southwest.


I figured some Canuck had a few beers too many and moved it.

'Some Canuck' and 'a few beers too many' is redundant, isn't it?


Quite true, drinking too many American beers would be redundant, it's actually like making love in a canoe.

It's fucking close to water

That'd be one of those national brands, yeah. Just like that Moosewizz beer.

[beyelzu]

bullshit, try gordon biersch's dunkless, which admittedly is only at gordon biersch.

or try anything by flying dog brewery or try terrapin cream ale.

in short, we have plenty of great microbrews.

its just bud light and coors lite and miller lite, and budweiser,

oh fuck it, its just all the major brews that suck.

[Crumb]

Is it a waterfall?

Yeah... It's the local brew pubs, or regional craft breweries, that are the way to go in the US, not that national sludge the biggies market.

[Crumb]

I guess that waldo is reading a plaque about the Fisset Brook Formation.

[godfry n. glad]

I guess that waldo is reading a plaque about the Fisset Brook Formation.

no, but distinctly on the right track.

[godfry n. glad]

:bump:

[beyelzu]

does the plaque have anything to do with the fisset brook formation?

[godfry n. glad]

no

To recap:

Waldo is in Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Nova Scotia, Canada. He is north of Green Cove and between Pleasant Bay and Big Intervale, but he cannot see a hut from where he is standing. He is not on the west side of the park, nor is his location on Ceptimus' map.

Aside from the many things it's not, it is a natural wonder. And no, it's not a rock.

It sure is a nice view.

[godfry n. glad]

Oy vey. I give up. Way too needle-in-a-haystack for my blood.

Good luck, goldglove! :chestram:

Not if you think about why godfry would take Waldo there.

This is a new day, by the way.

[Crumb]

Is there plants growing there?

[godfry n. glad]

Is there plants growing there?

yes.

[livius drusus]

Is Waldo on the Bog Trail?

[ceptimus]

Is the natural wonder alive?
Was it ever alive?
Is the natural wonder something to do with plants?
Is Waldo closer to Pleasant Bay than he is to Big Intervale?
Is he on, or within 50 yards of a road?

[Widget]

Is it night where Waldo is?

[godfry n. glad]

Is Waldo on the Bog Trail? no

[godfry n. glad]

Is the natural wonder alive? yes
Was it ever alive? yes
Is the natural wonder something to do with plants? yes
Is Waldo closer to Pleasant Bay than he is to Big Intervale? no
Is he on, or within 50 yards of a road? yes, he's at a viewpoint turnout

[godfry n. glad]

Is it night where Waldo is? no.

[Crumb]

Is the plaque about an endangered species?
Is the plaque about a "vulnerable" species?
Is the plaque about a plant only found at Cape Breton?

[Widget]

Is he looking at water behind the plaque?

[ceptimus]

As I have to go to bed now, and won't be around till tomorrow evening, I shall use up my guess for the day.

I guess Waldo is looking at the view by the 'Grey Owl' Plaque.

'...Our souls need something too... We need an enrichment other than material prosperity and to gain it we have only to look around at what our country has to offer...'

[godfry n. glad]

no

no

[godfry n. glad]

no... there is water where he is looking, but it is not the main point of interest.

'...Our souls need something too... We need an enrichment other than material prosperity and to gain it we have only to look around at what our country has to offer...'

no. It is not the Grey Owl plaque. already addressed.

do not obsess upon the informational plaque. If you knew what was on it, it would pinpoint the location, but unless you've actually been there and read it, you won't know what's on it, and if you did, you wouldn't be quite sure why godfry has brought Waldo here. It is not necessary for you to read the sign...

It's a viewpoint. A viewpoint installed by the park staff with touristy information on a signboard. The view is panoramic.

[trillian]

Is Waldo on the Cabot trail?
Is he looking down at a valley?
Is he looking up?
Is he looking at a fault line?
Is there a river where he is looking?

[godfry n. glad]

Is Waldo on the Cabot trail? yes
Is he looking down at a valley? yes
Is he looking up? no
Is he looking at a fault line? yes
Is there a river where he is looking? yes

...

[trillian]

Is Waldo here (http://www.pbase.com/golfpic/image/21222849)?

[Legs]

I guess that Waldo is at the Aspy Fault/Cabot Trail - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

[godfry n. glad]

Is Waldo here (http://www.pbase.com/golfpic/image/21222849)?

yes, exactly. only i was there in october; it was not green.

[godfry n. glad]

:dddp:

[godfry n. glad]

I guess that Waldo is at the Aspy Fault/Cabot Trail - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

This is correct.

The best time to be here is mid-October, when the hardwood forest changes colours. From the viewpoint one can look up the Aspy River valley, formed as a rift valley by the Aspy Fault (which is what the sign is all about), including the most northerly reaches of the original Arcadian forest. The forest is almost all hardwood inland and the panoramic view from the site which explains the geological history of the area is absolutely gorgeous in the color change of autumn. Riotous reds, oranges and yellows cover thousands of square miles within view. It's a natural wonder.

For those who are fans of Celtic music, Cape Breton becomes the host to the world of Celtic musicians with the annual Keltic Kolours Festival in October. Some of the best fiddle music I've ever heard was on Cape Breton Island.

So, are you going to claim the Answerer role, Legs, or give it over to trillian?
