Human? Adult? Male? As far as the material of the wire...I assume nothing! Does he plan to use these objects for something(as opposed to just toting them around for psychological reasons...you'd be surprised!)? Is his occupation relevant? Place where he plans to use these...in his yard? in a public area? on the street? in the woods? on a beach? Is the weather relevant? |

Would he use the towel to dry something? to cover something? to protect something? as a "flag"? Would he use the wire to support the towel? Would the towel and the wire be in contact with each other? |

Does he need it to live? Is his life being threatened? Is his life in danger? When you say location is important, are you referring to a building? City? State? Does the towel need to be a loud color for it to be seen by someone or something else? Are there other people that need it as well? Are his actions practical? Does it have to be an orange towel? Can it be bigger, like a tablecloth? Smaller like a handkerchief? Is absorbency of the towel relevant? When you say time is relevant, are you referring to time of day, such as during daylight hours? Or is it time of year? Time of month? Seasons? Holiday? Moon cycle? |

Is the towel used to provide some type of information to man #2? Does man #2 know why the towel is there? Would man # 1 ever use a different color towel?

Before I answered on the question "will he see the contraption?" >>directy after hanging it - yes, but later on.. it depends (good question)<< but I should have answered: >>directy after hanging it - yes, but later on.. it depends and then again he will (good question)<< (I am sorry for this) |

is this a true story? from your imagination? after the few minutes pass and something happens, the towel will no longer hang in there? |

Is the towel man testing something? like the strength of the wire? the clothes line? Does the towel man's reason for hanging the towel involve man #2? Does he drop the towel on man #2's head when he enters the building? When the towel is no longer hanging there, is it because the man removed it? does he retain posession of the towel? |

When man #2 sees the towel, will he be in his apartment? his car? the parking lot? street? does it matter? Does man #2 know the identity of man#1? does man #1 know the identity of man #2? have they ever spoken? |

I'm getting a little confused...mind if I try to recap what I think we know? So man #1 lives in a flat and builds a contraption on his balcony in the evening by hanging an orange towel by a wire from a wash line because he is trying to test something. There is another man (#2) who is not his roommate, not his neighbor, but lives in the same building. Man #2 is involved in man #1's "test", but he does not know the towel is there. Man #1 will remove the towel after a few minutes. Man #2 will see it at first, then maybe not, then again he will. Finally, man #1 and man #2 are "aquaintances", but not friends. Please correct me if any of this is wrong... Now... Is man #2 the building superintendant? Does man #2 know what man#1 is trying to do with the towel? Does man #1 hang the towel on more than one occasion, or only once? |

There is another man (#2) who is not his roommate according to one dictionary man (#2)is not his roommate, according to the other one - he is, not his neighbor, but lives in the same building. Man #2 is involved in man #1's "test", but he does not know the towel is there. Man #1 will remove the towel after a few minutes. Man #2 will see it at first, then maybe not, then again he will. the underlined sentence is wrong - Man #1 will see it at first, then maybe not, then again he will, not man #2 Finally, man #1 and man #2 are "aquaintances", but not friends.

regarding the problem of underlined sentence above: I am sorry but Adryghi's question referred to her previous question and she meant "man #2" by "he" and I meant man #1 (our hero) - thanks for the recap - I wasn't aware that something might be wrong here |

Thanks. Glad we cleared that up. Although I can't really say I feel as though I am any less confused (must be a good puzzle). Trying a different approach...is the towel guy trying to see if he is able to see the towel from a specific location? within the apartment? possibly to determine if his roommate may have seen something that may have occurred on the balcony? or something he plans to do on the balcony? |

i can't see what else is there to find out... Does our hero intend to do something before he masturbates? after? Sexual orientation relevant? is our hero straight? gay? Does our hero intend to take a peak at man no.2 through the window? |

Is this a block of flats? If so, do the two men live on the same level?. Does Man #2 live directly below man #1? Is Man #1 trying to displace the towel to some point where it would be visable to both men? visible to neither men? Is he planning on attaching something else to the wire after he removes the towel? a mirror? Is the length of the wire relevent? Does the 'contraption' extend straight down, or does it extend out a little as well? how far back from the balestraude of the balcony is the washing-line? 0-10cm? 10cm-1m? further? Does the wire drop below the level of the balcony? Is the towel for visability purposes or for weight? |
