Who / What / Where Game

[Aktungbby]

is it in Europe?

[Catfish]

Yes.

[mapuc]

Germany ?

Markus

[Catfish]

YES

[mapuc]

Is the house very old ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Not a house. Define 'old' :D
(hint: It is less than a hundred years old)

[mapuc]

Not a house. Define 'old' :D
(hint: It is less than a hundred years old)

Very old = 16 and 17th century
Old = 18 and 19th century.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Museum?

[Catfish]

Very old = 16 and 17th century
Old = 18 and 19th century.
Markus
Ok by this definition it is "not old".

@Jim: Not a museum

[Jimbuna]

A government building?

[Catfish]

No.

[Jimbuna]

A private dwelling?

[Catfish]

It is public alright, like a (hint) memorial.

[Aktungbby]

an expression of brick Art Nuveaux?

[Catfish]

It may look a bit like it, it is a sculpture and it was designed by a sculptor, but i take it it is not art nouveau.
The sculptor and his oeuvre have been controversial –

[Jimbuna]

In Berlin?

[Catfish]

Not in Berlin.

[mapuc]

Cologne ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Is the sculptor British?

[Catfish]

The city were this is placed is not Cologne.
The sculptor is not british.
I read he got some positive feedback though from at least one british artist or critic, but did not find it again.

[mapuc]

Is this building in a big city(more than 100000)?

Markus

[Catfish]

sorry miscounted the zeroes – Yes in a city with more than 100.000 inhabitants.

Hint: The city's first letter is B. The city is also an own state with the same name.

[Jimbuna]

Bremen?

[Catfish]

^ Yes, Bremen.

[Jimbuna]

WWII related?

[Aktungbby]

On the Böttcherstrsse by "controversial" artist Ludwig Roselius?https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/medieval-old-town-brick-architecture-of-bremen-germany-picture-id1076609276?s=612x612

[Catfish]

@Jim: not WW2 related

@Aktungbby: not by Roselius, so not this building. The Boettcherstrasse is a beautiful part of the city though.. (b.t.w. Bremen, so not in Bad Sche.. :O:)
re Roselius though OT here:
"4 Million RM was raised by Heinz Puvogel shortly after Ludwig Roselius died but when questioned after World War II by IARA, investigators lied and turned a blind eye due to a coverup about U.S. multinational ITT Corporation owning 29% of Focke-Wulf and possible future class action payouts as the U.S. government failed to nationalize the ITT Corporation after Pearl Harbor."
You can't make some things up. Catch 22 has it all true.

[Exocet25fr]

Paula Becker-Modersohn House Museum by Bernhard Hoetger?

[Catfish]

No. It has been mentioned before which exact kind of a "building" this is.

[Jimbuna]

House of the Seven Lazy Brothers?

[Catfish]

That would be the aforementioned (by Aktung) Boettcherstrasse, so no. Not a 'house'.

[Jimbuna]

Ah, okay.

So, is it an actual monument?

[Catfish]

Yep, or memorial. The inside is accessible, but it is no museum.

[mapuc]

Der Lichtbringer ?

Markus

[Catfish]

No.. and this would again be the Boettcherstrasse, which is not the place..

[Jimbuna]

A memorial to an individual?

[Exocet25fr]

Niedersachsenstein - War memorial in Bremen ?

[Catfish]

@Jim: not for an individual, initially for a lot more.. then there was another idea.
Hint: it has "recently" (decades) been rededicated again from its second-original.. umm purpose.

@Exocet25fr: Not the "Niedersachsenstein".
Hint: it has a a bit of a connection to WW1, but not its main idea.

[Buddahaid]

The arrow bit is the eye.

[Catfish]

It is all in the eye of the beholder, and here beauty is in his eye ..

This is it, the colonial memorial in Bremen, built 1932, but already planned during WW1:

https://i.imgur.com/bROA1Cel.jpg

to remind of the glorious colonial past, and restart interest in teh colonies, something especially trade companies in Bremen had a strong interest in ("Where trade flows, the flag follows") after all was lost after WW1.

Artist Fritz Behn designed it, here are some other sculptures of him.
http://www.artnet.com/artists/fritz-behn/
He specialised on african deer and animals, usually shot it, made plaster stone castings of the dead and then transferred that into Bronze or whatever.

After critic over the colonial past rose, it was just declared to be an "anticolonial memorial", case closed :03:

Over to Buddahaid :salute:

[Buddahaid]

[Buddahaid]

his wife?

Not a wife.

[mapuc]

A King ?

Markus

[Buddahaid]

A King ?

Markus

Attributed to a King, apparently not proven, but accepted as such.

[mapuc]

Related to UK ?

Markus

[Buddahaid]

Related to UK ?

Markus

Yes.

[mapuc]

This red Fabric we see in the picture is it what you call Sovereign's robes in general ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Richard I?

[Buddahaid]

I don't think so if I understand your meaning. This item is ceremonial in nature much like what Acktungbby posted.

[Buddahaid]

Richard I?

A few centuries too early.

[Jimbuna]

Henry V?

[Buddahaid]

Henry V? Still too early. Post civil war.

[Jimbuna]

Henry VIII?

[Buddahaid]

Henry VIII? See my edit.

[Jimbuna]

[Buddahaid]

Female?

No. Not the US Civil War.

[Jimbuna]

Cromwell?

[Buddahaid]

Not Cromwell but in the right zone.

[Jimbuna]

[Buddahaid]

Charles II? :) That's the who but what and where is the item.

That is the answer.

[Aktungbby]

Since Exocet25 has not posted as is his privilege; I'll post a new puzzle to keep the game in progress: what and where is this? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=12300

[Jimbuna]

A sea creature?

[Catfish]

Does the name begin with B

[Exocet25fr]

Looks like Scratch in Ice Age !:haha:

[Aktungbby]

A sea creature?Nope

Does the name begin with BK

Looks like Scratch in Ice Age !:haha:Bigger

[Jimbuna]

Something living?

[Aktungbby]

hardly

[mapuc]

Art ?

Markus

[Aktungbby]

after a fashion...there's certainly design to it. And it continues to this day, colorfully.:hmmm:

[mapuc]

after a fashion...there's certainly design to it. And it continues to this day, colorfully.:hmmm:

It looks like a sculpture made by Picasso.

Markus

[Buddahaid]

Is it a camel?

[Aktungbby]

It looks like a sculpture made by Picasso.

Markusthis one probably was sculpted.

Is it a camel?not a Dromedary nor a Bactrian...

[Catfish]

What did k mean, first letter? Ok? So not begimning with b? Thought of blobfish..

[Aktungbby]

What did k mean, first letter? Ok? So not begimning with b? Thought of blobfish..nuthin 2 do with water

[Buddahaid]

Does it represent a mythical beast?

[Aktungbby]

Not to my knowledge; more say, a sign of joy and sweetness and The Big Bang Theory...:yep:

[Buddahaid]

Noooo...
https://haraldkraft.de/thebigbangtheory/pics/introsnap074_sm.png

[Aktungbby]

wrong continent

[Buddahaid]

Who's incontinent?

Asia?

[Aktungbby]

yes

[Buddahaid]

Mesopotamia?

[Catfish]

China?

[Aktungbby]

China?getting warmer

[Catfish]

Hmm, Japan?

[Aktungbby]

YES!:salute: Sorry for the late response;:oops: the spouse is having dental surgery today :wah: and I must prioritize my attentiveness :shucks: It wouldn't be safe :o otherwise...https://25yearslatersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot_20211208-170712_YouTube.jpg:k_confused:

[Buddahaid]

Ah so it must be one of those newborns from Fukushima.

[Aktungbby]

Ah so it must be one of those newborns from Fukushima. Oddly, You are on the scent but on the wrong island; and off by 3/4 of a century.

[Buddahaid]

Is it part of the Nagasaki mushroom cloud?

[Aktungbby]

nope...oops! my bad:! it is the same island.

[Catfish]

A dragon made of concrete?

[Aktungbby]

nope, this critter doesn't breathe fire...it is occasionally breathed upon by fire...:hmmm:

[Catfish]

A living animal?

[Jimbuna]

Kong?

[Aktungbby]

A living animal? more of an ongoing logo

Kong?nope..not a primate

[Buddahaid]

Issie?

[mapuc]

The Ying and Yang symbol.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

A living animal? more "joy and sweetness" as stated previously. If it were in a race it might well be in a hippodrome.:shucks:

[Jimbuna]

A Kirin?

[Buddahaid]

Baby Tam Tam?

[Aktungbby]

Nope

K

Bigger


A Kirin?the Kirin are 'kami' ie: mythological creatures...the puzzle is also a four letter item beginning with 'k' but not mythological...unfortunately; in this particular case?!!

[Aktungbby]

Baby Tam Tam?not for teething babies:D; older kids do like the items of 'sweetness and joy' however. Modern versions of the 77 year-old puzzle tend to be molded... and red! (And that is an Aktungian a red-herring hint:O:)

[Jimbuna]

Kudu?

[mapuc]

Ok so it's not the Ying and Yang symbol

Markus

[Buddahaid]

The "K" word is Kaba. The "Sweetness and Joy" I can't find yet.

[Aktungbby]

Kudu? Neither greater nor lesser nor cloven hoofed

Ok so it's not the Ying and Yang symbol

Markus Well :hmmm: "Dispensing Sweets and Dispersing Sadness" could be a sort of Ying and Yang is this case

The "K" word is Kaba. The "Sweetness and Joy" I can't find yet. U R right on target!:yeah: now adjust the bomb scope and turn away immediately in a shallow dive; and don't look back unless U like mushrooms!

[Buddahaid]

So I had some mushrooms and this is all I found....
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/2940/tSVxcB.png

[Aktungbby]

What does kaba mean in Japanese?

[Buddahaid]

kaba means "Hippopotamus" in English.

[Aktungbby]

kaba means "Hippopotamus" in English.Bingo! Now find one 77 years ago near a big mushroom..dispensing sweetness and joy!

[Catfish]

A japanese sugar dispenser formed like a hippo?
A hippo-formed incense burner?
You are both talking chinese japanese when it comes to understanding wth you mean :haha:

[Buddahaid]

So far I can't get a hit on any search combinations I've tried. I'll give it another go later.

[Jimbuna]

I'm thinking there's a link with the dropping of one of the atom bombs.

[Catfish]

I guess i found it :o

[Buddahaid]

I'm thinking there's a link with the dropping of one of the atom bombs.

I agree but I can't find the association.

[Jimbuna]

I guess i found it :o

Come on then, don't be shy :)

[Aktungbby]

So far I can't get a hit on any search combinations I've tried. I'll give it another go later.Well finding stuff to keep yer cerebral processes occupied is what these puzzles are about. anymore hints'll just give it away

I'm thinking there's a link with the dropping of one of the atom bombs. Indeed! The biggest mushroom of all!:yeah:

I guess i found it :oPost it man!

I agree but I can't find the association.:haha: It's in front of a war monument??! to the big mushroom...there! now I've practically given it away:cry::roll::nope:

[Catfish]

What a sweet hope, so close to ground zero :03:

[Catfish]

Ok, i still think it's Budda's, hoped he'll post.
I only found one (1) website worldwide with this.. Hippo car
Photograph shows this car in front of the destroyed Hiroshima dome at ground zero of the nuclear explosion.

"Hiroshima's Hippo Car, Dispensing Sweets and Dispersing Sadness"

http://inventorspot.com/articles/hiroshimas_hippo_car_dispensing_sweets_and_dispers ing_sadness_17173

[Aktungbby]

Precisely! https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=12307 It has to be the most incongruous photo you've ever seen. In the background, Hiroshima's iconic "Atomic Dome" which marks Ground Zero of the first atomic bomb dropped in anger. Cruising along the dusty road in front, circa late 1946: a Kabaya candy company Hippo sound & samples truck.

One might be forgiven for thinking the ludicrous truck is some bizarre mutant spawned by nuclear radiation, but in actual fact sound trucks like this one really did promote Kabaya (translated company website here) caramels in those difficult post-war years... and still do today! Kaba" means Hippo in Japanese and "Kabaya" translates to Hippo Store, which explains the company's choice of mascot. They're also famed for introducing a weird hippo-crow to push their wares in a long-running series of Japanese TV commercial ads.

As for the sleek, Ferrari-red sound truck that now promotes Kabaya's candy, it's is as different from its dreary gray ancestor as can be, yet it speaks of Japan's nostalgia for a simpler time full of hope for a better, sweeter future. Modern versions of the 77 year-old puzzle tend to be molded... and red! (And that is an Aktungian a red-herring hint)Over to Catfish and well done:salute:NOTE: even my red herrings are red!:O:

[Catfish]

^ this was a strange but nice one :haha:

Ok what is this

https://i.imgur.com/8qWW8aym.jpg

[Jimbuna]

The main product of the Hallein armaments factory, the so-called command device, was a control device for BMW aircraft engines.

https://i.postimg.cc/KvXd4wMF/web.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Catfish]

Oops, did we have that already? I tried google image search and it did not bring up any solution .. so could it be you just know it :hmmm: :O:

Yes this is it, the "Kommandogeraet" for the FW 190 - installed BMW 801 engine.
"This complicated box, covered with wires, tubes, and fasteners, is an electro-mechanical computer that sets the fighter’s fuel mixture, propeller pitch, boost, and magneto timing all at once. The pilot simply puts the throttle at the desired setting and the Kommandogerät does the rest, getting the most out of the 190’s powerful radial engine."

https://www.heraldnet.com/life/kommandogert-the-complicated-box-that-was-revolutionary-for-flying/

The parts inside this machine..

https://i.imgur.com/kCqKSidl.png
https://i.imgur.com/vW0hA1Kl.png

"This was the forerunner of modern engine management systems. It controlled fuel mixture, propeller pitch, manifold pressure, ignition timing and supercharger speed switching. All without an electronic computer."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8lk5E-Lq-c

While it was a very sophisticated device there was one backlash: When the machine detected too much heat near the exhausts it would automatically shut down the engine, cutting fuel and ignition. A good idea if there really was a burning engine, but it sometimes (very seldom) did this 'just so'. Bad situation during approach for a landing, or flaring out..


Well done, over to you!:salute:

[Buddahaid]

Ok, i still think it's Budda's, hoped he'll post.

[Aktungbby]

it's under "notable bombed buildings" which id how i noticed it.

[Jimbuna]

Name and location please.

I Came to think of a canal lock system.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Not a ship.

[Jimbuna]

I Came to think of a canal lock system.

Markus

Afraid not.

[Buddahaid]

My backyard last August, well no. Is the image an untouched photograph of a real situation? :Kaleun_Salute:

[Aktungbby]

Yes

[Catfish]

A manhole/descent?

No but it is stationary and will probably have a manhole nearby.

[Catfish]

Some crane or winch?

[Jimbuna]

Neither.

Clue: Less mobile.

[Catfish]

Further east.

[Jimbuna]

gallows? :hmmm:

No, much taller and more 'homely'

[Catfish]

Despite the whole thing being stationary, is there a moving part?

[Jimbuna]

Windows and doors :)

[Catfish]

As tall as a tower but no tower, made of wood, mobsters would feel at home, and a manhole in the vicinity :haha:

So no windmill or (old) drilling rig, hmm.

[Jeff-Groves]

[Jeff-Groves]

Not Pyramids and not nearly as old.

[Aktungbby]

[Jeff-Groves]

is it old?

Some people that constructed them may still be alive. But I doubt it.

[Catfish]

Underwater?

[Jeff-Groves]

Not under water but pretty wet in that land area.

[Aktungbby]

[Jeff-Groves]

Some Parts are.

[Aktungbby]

Does it have an engine?

[Jeff-Groves]

No engines.

[Aktungbby]

No wheels ever.

[Aktungbby]

[Jimbuna]

USA?

[Jimbuna]

[Jeff-Groves]

That would draw to much attention.

[Jimbuna]

Something more clandestine in nature/purpose?

[Jeff-Groves]

Although not Top Secret. Designed to be hidden from aircraft.

[Aktungbby]

was it originally green?

[Buddahaid]

Radio DF station in Florida?

[Jeff-Groves]

They may have been green to start.

Florida is to far South.

John Denver can tell you how to get there.

[Jimbuna]

Allegany Ballistics Laboratory?

[Jeff-Groves]

Your in the right State now.
Sudo-lepidopteriest's would be pleasant when telling you your in the wrong place.

[Jeff-Groves]

[Jeff-Groves]

OK. Another Clue without beating about the Cornstalk.
Not in the economic sense but, SILVER (Ag on the periodic table) fell.

[Buddahaid]

Is this about electroplating?

[Catfish]

anything to do with electrical current?

What does this have to do with butterflies?
Or with Sudo (Linux?) commands?
Why am i even here?

[Aktungbby]

Why am i even here? people worry about the afterlife: 72 virgins , happy hunting grounds, eternal happiness etc...I sometimes wonder if this turn on the planet isn't the afterlife in which case what horrible deed did I do to end up here... :haha::har::yep::()1: Jeeze Kai! U sure drank that Hamm's too fast!

[Jimbuna]

Must admit I haven't the faintest idea :doh:

[Catfish]

I first thought of some kind of lock in the sense of a watergate, then a battery, but i guess it is somehow larger :hmmm:

[Jeff-Groves]

A search for "West Virginia Cornstalk"
would be a Bang up place to start.

[Catfish]

Something to do with a mine disaster?

[Jeff-Groves]

Nope.
Once you arrive at the PLACE, AKA the City?
You only have to find the AREA!

In past answers? I've ACTUALLY given you the name of the City.
As to finding the WHAT? I've given a good clue about that also!
I've given several in fact.
:D

[Catfish]

TNT Area, Point Pleasant, West Virginia?
Sightings of the mothman etc, WW2 bunkers, silver bridge collapse? :hmmm:

[Jeff-Groves]

BRAVO!

:salute:

[Aktungbby]

part of the silver bridge?

[Jeff-Groves]

Catfish got it with the TNT area bunkers.

:up:

[Catfish]

phew that was close, Aktung and Jim breathing down my neck

I had the area several times, with the Pleasantville battle, chief Cornstalk memorial, the Cornstalk curse, i even found the Mothman (Lepidopterologist connection), but it never connected properly until finding the bunkers and the TNT connection, and the silver bridge collapse :yeah:

So the photo was one of the bunker doors?

[Jeff-Groves]

Ariel view from Mapquest.

[Catfish]

^ thanks.


Ok so what is this

https://i.imgur.com/HxhrbsHm.png

[mapuc]

part of a plane ?

Markus

[Catfish]

^ Yep.

[mapuc]

The dark shadow is that the air intake ?

Markus

[Aktungbby]

pre-WWII?

[Catfish]

^^ Obviously ..

^ yes, in a way ;)

[Jeff-Groves]

Maybe an Electra flown by Amelia Earhart?

[Buddahaid]

Military?

[Catfish]

@Jeff Groves: Not an Electra

@Buddahaid: Intended for military

[Jimbuna]

German?

[Jeff-Groves]

Dang it! I was gonna ask that!
:O:

Is it on an Aerocraft?

[Buddahaid]

Is this an engine pod?

[Aktungbby]

with a tail-wheel?

[Buddahaid]

with a tail-wheel?

I don't believe that is a tail wheel..

[Catfish]

German? Yes.
On an aerocraft? Aerocraft, aircraft, yes. "On"? :hmmm:
Is this an engine "pod"? No this is the fuselage.
With a tail wheel? Yes.

[Jeff-Groves]

Some type of Zeppelin?

[Catfish]

Not a Zeppelin, an aircraft.

[Buddahaid]

I want to say Fw159 but I think that's wrong.

[Catfish]

I want to say Fw159 but I think that's wrong.
Then you're wrong, because you're right :D

Designed by Kurt Tank, the FW 159 it is.
Successor of the FW 56, now with retractable gear that lead to this new type's first accident when the gear wold not extract properly.

The Focke-Wulf company designed the aircraft as one of the four entries for the Rüstungsflugzeug IV ("Armed Aircraft IV") 1934 fighter competition.
"The second 159 prototype, the V2, had a reinforced undercarriage. The general flight characteristics were good but the rate of climb and rate of turn were unsatisfactory, and the aircraft suffered greater drag than its competitors in the contest, the Arado Ar 80, Heinkel He 112 and Messerschmitt Bf 109. The competition was won by the Bf 109."

I could have swore that would be wrong because I couldn't make out the step behind the spinner, but a parasol wing seened likely if it wasn't an engine pod.

EDIT: I also couldn't make out retractable main gear doors which made me look elswhere. It did look like there was a small bit of an iron cross showing.

Okay then what and where is this?
