I've only recently taken up rwawgacoping. (If you need a pronunciation key, err-waw-GA (as in gamma)-kuh-ping.) I suspect that very few people are able to do it. However, it's great fun, and I would recommend it to anybody with the materials. What does it mean to rwawgacop? | ||

The materials = smaller than a quarter? smaller than a deck of cards? smaller than a toaster? smaller than a microwave? Smaller than a car? Bigger? The materials = a set of similar things? A set of related things? A substance? Solid? liquid? gas? | ||

CLARIFICATION: "A set of related things" = i.e. they're related in some way, but some of them are obtained independently of the others; the question is a bit vague. | ||

Is the reason that "few people are able to do it" because they don't have the materials? Could they do it simply by obtaining the materials? Can these materials be borrowed from another person? Any special talent needed? Would other physical or emotional aptitudes be required? | ||

Is the reason that "few people are able to do it" because they don't have the materials? mostly Could they do it simply by obtaining the materials? a bit of knowledge is required, but sometimes not much—it depends Can these materials be borrowed from another person? there are four items needed: two can be borrowed, the third depends and sometimes comes with the second, and the fourth could be borrowed, but that would usually be futile Any special talent needed? again, it depends Would other physical or emotional aptitudes be required? no | ||

Is internet access required? Does rwawgacoping make a relevant sound? Does it require: hands? Sight? Hearing? Legs? A sense of touch? Is it fun? Challenging? Relaxing? Exciting? Dangerous? Does it produce a tangible result? Can one get better at rwawgacoping? Is it done alone? In cooperation with others? In competition with others? In front of others? Are any of the parts: changed? Improved? Destroyed? Depleted? Are they all physical objects? Are the physical objects all manmade? Could one rwawgacoping in the: 60s? 70s? 80s? 90s? Is specific computer software relevant? A specific program? A specific kind of software? | ||

Is #2 a calculator? The CPU itself? Something that's generally contained within the computer chassis (i.e. a part, but none of the peripherals like monitor, keyboard, mouse)? One of the peripherals? Is #4 one of the pre-loaded programs that generally comes with a store-bought computer system (for example, Minesweeper, the calculator, and Windows Media Player on PCs)? Is it a program that a large amount of the population would load on the computer if it's not already preloaded (for example, the Microsoft Office suite)?
