The owners of a particular building wish to build an extension. They find a suitable spot that is perfect in every way, location ease of clearing the land and low build costs etc. However they build the extension in a different location that requires much more effort and is completed at a greatly increased cost. How come? | ||

Could they build the extension at the spot if they wanted to? | ||

Is there some reason why the original location is less perfect than first thought? Or does the new location have a unique feature/benefit that the first location doesn't? | ||

Wild guess: Does this have anything to do with buildings that were inadvertently built in the shape of swastikas (this really happened, by the way.)? Would building the extension at the convenient spot cause the building to look like a swastika (or some other offensive symbol) from the air? | ||

Do town/state lines have an effect? - I know of a factory that used to have a building on the state line, and they'd keep the machinery in the state where machinery wasn't taxed, and the forklifts and things in the other state, where machinery was taxed but those things weren't. Are permits or tax incentives relevant? Did they just do this to be a subject of a lateral puzzle? | ||

Good Morning everyone! Could they build the extension at the spot if they wanted to? Yes Is there some reason why the original location is less perfect than first thought? Yesish Or does the new location have a unique feature/benefit that the first location doesn't?

No - I know of a factory that used to have a building on the state line, and they'd keep the machinery in the state where machinery wasn't taxed, and the forklifts and things in the other state, where machinery was taxed but those things weren't.

Do the people go to the building: to perform a sport? to watch a sport? do they pay to enter? are they members of a club?

whoops... meant to ask: Could they not build the extension in the first location because it would interfere with the golfers? Do we need to figure out the specific way building in the first location would interfere with the golfers? Would it have impinged physically on the course? Would it have made it harder to hit a shot to a specific area (e.g. the place the walls were built would have meant golfers couldn't arc their shots over a certain area any more)? Would it have been built over the cart path? Would it have been directly responsible for the interference with the golfers? or would it have caused the moving of something else that would have interfered with the golfers (e.g. the cart path would have to be moved, but the only place it could move would go over one of the greens)? | ||

I HAVE RETURNED! For a brief period, anyways! Does the extension (in the second spot) have any relevance in relation: to scenery? Being outdoors? to a balcony of some sort? Was the extension planned in the new spot necessary for anything that may be hindered: indoors in the old spot? outdoors in the old spot? Will the extension have a roof? or will the extension be uncovered? If covered, is the extension a screenhouse of some sort? an enclosed porch? a building (made of wood, glass, etc.)? Is the new spot closer to a parking lot than the old spot? Will the extension be used as a restaraunt? a bar? a party area? Does the extension have a specific purpose? Is it projected that the clubhouse/golf course will make more money on the proposed second position than the first position? | ||

Is there a relevant difference between the group of people who supported location 1 and the group who supported location 2 (other than which location they supported)? Does the yes-ish to audible imply that the relevant thing outside the clubhouse is something NOT heard, rather than something heard? For example, does it have to do with not being able to hear golf balls being hit? Not being able to hear certain music? Not being able to hear people yelling fore? Not being able to hear birds singing? Not hearing something else? | ||

Is there a relevant difference between the group of people who supported location 1 and the group who supported location 2 (other than which location they supported)? Yesish the group that supported the old location tended to have a physical difference, although this is not necessarily the case with all of them, and vice versa. Does the yes-ish to audible imply that the relevant thing outside the clubhouse is something NOT heard, rather than something heard? The relevant thing itself is not actually heard but noise is the problem. (sorry this will become much clearer when the you know the answer.) For example, does it have to do with not being able to hear golf balls being hit? Not being able to hear certain music? Yesish Not being able to hear people yelling fore? Not being able to hear birds singing? Not hearing something else? Not hearing something is very relevant | ||

Hmm, would the physical difference between the two groups be age? Was group 1 (old location) generally older than group 2? Was group 1 more likely to be hard of hearing? So that hearing or not hearing the relevant music or other sound was less of an issue for them? Or did the fact that they had a hard time hearing mean that they were less likely to notice a problem related to noise? Was the old location close to a noisy highway? Or something else that made a lot of noise that would make it hard to hear what was going on in the clubhouse? | ||

Was the generally-older group likely to prefer a different kind of music than the generally-younger group? Relevant? (from this point, I'm just going to call them the old group and the young/new group, ok?) And to clarify: Was the problem with the old location that they (young/new group) would not hear something that they did want to hear? Or that they would hear something they did not want to hear? Did the old group have the opposite preference from the new/young group as related to what they could hear? Or were they indifferent about whether they could hear/not hear the sound(s)? | ||

Fine And to clarify: Was the problem with the old location that they (young/new group) would not hear something that they did want to hear?

There seems to bit a bit of an fa here, the hearing aspect is secondary to why the two groups differed in opinion however it is involved, sorry if there is a little bit of confusion but all will become clear.See the hint.

Conversation? Networking? Playing a game? Arguing? Is it something you would typically expect to take place specifically in a golf clubhouse, or would it take place anywhere? | ||

I'm totally confused. If it's not on the course, and not in the clubhouse, I have no idea where else it could possibly be. Unless it's not at the golf club at all, but in some entirely separate location? | ||

Does the relevant everyday activity involve any object? If so, 1? 2?... Is it talking on the phone? Mobile phones relevant? Any other technology relevant? You said the golf club had an unusual rule. Is it of the kind "members mustn't X"? "Members must X"? Does the rule involve the everyday activity mentioned above? Does the rule affect the young group more than the old group (e.g. "it is forbidden to run in the clubhouse" would affect young people more than old people)? | ||

Members' must not use cell phones on the golf course? Members must not use cell phones in the club house? Members must not use audible ringtones on their cell phone? Members must not play cutesy mustic on the ringtone? =) The younger members were more affected because they were more likely to have cell phones, right? Was the problem with the old location that cell phone reception was bad? That you could hear people talking on their phones from whatever location they were allowed to talk on them from? | ||

Was the new location closer to a place where they were allowed to use cell phones (so they could step out easily to make a call)? | ||

Was the old location in the outside place where they usually went to use their cell phones (since they weren't allowed to use them in the clubhouse or on the course)? So if they built an extension there, they wouldn't be able to go out there to use their phones anymore? | ||

I reckon thats good enough for a ****SPOILER**** A golf club in a particularly hilly area had a real problem with mobile phone reception. As this was a golf club the use of mobile phones was prohibited in the clubhouse and on the course, however the popularity of mobile devices among the younger members led them to discover a small area outside the back of the clubhouse where an acceptable level of signal existed. Being outside using this area to telephone, check e-mail etc was perfectly acceptable. When it was decided to improve the clubhouse with an extension this area was the most logical choice, however this would put the only good signal area inside the clubhouse and thus prohibit the use of mobile devices. At the meeting there was a great deal of discussion about the extension and changing the rules about mobiles etc, with the only agreeable option being to build the extension elsewhere, and keep the existing external area as an area of good signal strength. | ||
