True Story? Fictional puzzle? Something actually about to be eaten? Is [questionable object] actually edible (traditionally speaking, of course)? Would you eat it? Is it blue? Green? Orange? Does it have multiple parts? Is it hairy? Is it something I could shave? Does it sweat? Is the puzzle statement a spoken statement? Is the identity of a person eating relevant? Is more than one person relevant? If so, are [1 < Integers list] people relevant? Death or physical injury relevant? | ||

Does this puzzle have anything to do with consuming something? Did anyone actually eat anything? Did someone say "don't tell me your planning to eat that? Did someone do something that showed they were planning on eating a particular thing? was it food? something that would cause most people in the western world to be disgusted at the thought of eating? Was it food? a previously living organism? One that had the capability of moving about? | ||

Alhucema Birth relevant? yes all people in this were born at some time (just kidding) . No birth is not directly involved in this puzzle. Were you thinking about placentas? Does this puzzle have anything to do with consuming something? noish see below Did anyone actually eat anything? yes. The crux of the puzzle is that it arose out of a desire someone had to eat something but eating has questionable relevanc after that Did someone say "don't tell me your planning to eat that? not in as many words but the sense is the same Did someone do something that showed they were planning on eating a particular thing? yes was it food? no the item in question was not food something that would cause most people in the western world to be disgusted at the thought of eating? disgusted no but puzzled baffled confused incredulous would all work reasonably well Was it food? no a previously living organism? no One that had the capability of moving about? no | ||

Yes, that was exactly I was thinking about. Are you a mind-reader? ;-)) Was the thing to be eaten man-made? Or natural (such as e.g.a stone?) Did the person actually intend to eat it? Did he/she eat it? Can the eating be harmful? Was the person supposed to plan to eat it male? adult? Relevant? Was his/her counterpart in the conversation. male? adult? Relevant? Was the third person involved male? adult? Relevant? | ||

So you were talking? with your friend? about you eating something? and there was a little girl involved? listening? did she misunderstand what you were talking about? Was the word "eat" used rather in a figurative sense? Which the little girl took literally? | ||

So you were talking? yes with your friend? yes and remember it was he who uttered the puzzle statement about you eating something? no just talking in general and there was a little girl involved? not in our conversation and she only becomes relevant in the explanation listening? no did she misunderstand what you were talking about? no Was the word "eat" used rather in a figurative sense? no Which the little girl took literally? she wasn't present it might be wise to concentrate on how i displayed my desire to eat something | ||

I am detecting possible conflict in two of your statements, so I shall bring it to light in an attempt to clarify. You had previously stated that this is not food, and people would be baffled if you ate it. You then remarked that you were going to eat something perfectly normal. Are these statements, in fact, incongruous, or do they just require further exploration? Should we look at a looser definition of "eat/ate"? For instance, one could eat a pill, but this is not how we would typically define eating. Is eating it only strange in a certain context? I am glad you do not eat baby dolls. | ||

Are these statements, in fact, incongruous, or do they just require further exploration? no there is no contradiction here. I was going to eat something perfectly normal but my friend saw something which i had no intention of eating and in surprise said the puzzle statement. Had i not wanted to eat something this puzzle would never have arisen. Think what i would have done to indicate my intention to eat something Should we look at a looser definition of "eat/ate"? For instance, one could eat a pill, but this is not how we would typically define eating. so no in this puzzle eating is just eating Is eating it only strange in a certain context? There are two things in play here one of which is what i intended to eat the other is the subject of the puzzle. Your mission is to establish what the non edible thing is and why it was where it was I am glad you do not eat baby dolls. as is my little daughter | ||

Fugu involved? Anything else poisonous? Were you at a restaurant? If so, LPTF list of types (Thai, Italian, steakhouse, etc.) Was the item on your plate? Or on the table? Or elsewhere? Was your friend aware that it was inedible/dangerous? Is that why he was incredulous? Was the inedible item part of the presentation of your food (like wax/plastic toys on a birthday cake)? Which of the following food groups were you planning to eat the time, and does the "inedible" item also fall into any of them? - fat/sugar - Dairy - Veggie/fruit - Meat/egg/other protein - Bread/grain Was your friend unfamiliar with the inedible item? Is he foreign-born? | ||

Could you clarify this? i'm sorry but i can't find where i said that but to clarify i was in the kitchen of my house when this happened and when my friend saw the man made object somewhere in the kitchen he expressed surprise because it's normally found in a bedroom or playroom.

Is the old joke relevant? You know, the one that goes "come in number 9, your time is up" when boat number 6 has capsized? For instance, would it help to turn 26 upside down? 97? Are you playing a trick on your daughter? Were you hoping that she would find him in the fridge? Were you hoping to return the cold bear to her room to make her "believe" that he had been out skiing, or such?

For instance, would it help to turn 26 upside down? 97? no nothing like that. it's a bit cryptic but you have enough info in the puzzle as it stands now to make sense of the title . Meanwhile back to the important bit... Are you playing a trick on your daughter? no Were you hoping that she would find him in the fridge? no she knows the teddy is in there Were you hoping to return the cold bear to her room to make her "believe" that he had been out skiing, or such? (Not that children actually believe in any of that stuff: I swear they go along with it to humour) it's a lovely thought but no. We have a genuine reason for putting him there.

Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th president of the USA, and as a Sporcler I imagine this would explain your title. Spot-prize duly claimed? :-) Back to the main puzzle: Did your daughter know Lanzo was in the fridge? Did she want to put him in there? Was she hoping he would eat the contents of the fridge? Was he looking after your food? Monitoring your seasonal Guinness intake? Any relevant puns involving bears? Will his name help us solve the puzzle, or would it work just as well for Brian the Bear? | ||

Is it relevant how long Lanzo stays in the freezer? we had a toy dog called Rover because we bought him in Rovaneimi Was he in there for his own protection? Was he put there to hide him from someone else? Someone who had it in for him. Perhaps a cruel little cousin who was coming visiting and he is prone to destructive tendencies, and he wouldn't think to look in the freezer for him. | ||

Boy, you've got me stumped! Does your daughter take Lanzo into bed each night? Does she keep him close to her? or does he sit/lay at a distance from her? You said this has happened in recent times...last few days? months? year(s)? As a result of a specific event? | ||

is it to do with hygiene? health? cleanliness? Does your daughter have any allergies? Can dust or some other substance be removed more easily frozen? Is Lanzo taken to playgroup or school? | ||

Dust mites? Are they killed off in the freezer? very well done ***********Spoiler*************** Yes my little daughter has a severe Dust Mite allergy which causes her to get asthma like symptoms of wheeziness and bad chesty coughs. A specialist to whom we were referred asked if Trina had a teddy that she slept with. When we told him that she had he advised us to put him in the freezer to kill the dust mites before letting her take him to bed We also had to remove the carpets and curtains from her room. The improvement in her is amazing and she has had no recurrance of the attacks so Lanzo is destined to spend 3 hours of his day in our freezer for the forseeable future. Thanks to all who played and well done to Sunshine for the the solve | ||

Great puzzle - the true ones are always the best! Hope Trina's allergy diminishes as she gets older but glad she can safely take Lanzo to bed. Watch out for the reindeer, though.... | ||

Thanks. I guess that since he lives at the north pole in freezing conditions Santa and his reindeer are dust mite free. | ||

Yes, but they have terrible mosquitoes. I read somewhere that you can buy hypoallergenic teddy bears, which contain various acaricides, etc. They even breed hypoallergenic cats, apparently. I think you have to boil the bears every so often. Obviously you don't do that with the cats, as they seem not to like it. :-) |
