[Eichhörnchen]

Is it to do with trees?

[u crank]

Concrete?

Yes.

Is it to do with trees?

No.

[Jimbuna]

Monument?

[u crank]

Monument?

No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it meant to be decorative/aesthetic?

[u crank]

Is it meant to be decorative/aesthetic?

No. It has a function.

[Aktungbby]

in the US?

[Jimbuna]

Europe?

[u crank]

in the US?

Yes.

Europe?

I guess not. :D

[Jimbuna]

Military?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it used to manufacture/fabricate something else?

[Aktungbby]

A water tower?

[u crank]

Military?

No.

Is it used to manufacture/fabricate something else?

No.

A water tower?

Getting warmer.

[Jimbuna]

On land?

[Eichhörnchen]

Are these widespread or is this the only one?

[u crank]

On land?

No.

Are these widespread or is this the only one?

In this particular case there are four.

[Catfish]

For cooling (water)?

[u crank]

For cooling (water)?

Not for cooling but water is involved.

[Catfish]

But not water towers, dam.

Something to do with the latter?

[u crank]

But not water towers, dam.

Something to do with the latter?

Yes.

[Catfish]

The Hoover dam water intakes?

[u crank]

The Hoover dam water intakes?

Dam that was good.:D:up:

https://i.imgur.com/xly2jy4.jpg?4

Over to you sir. :salute:

[mapuc]

You see a picture and your brain goes into high speed-Trying to remember where you have seen this...And I had seen it-On the web.

Congrats to Catfish

Markus

[Catfish]

Thanks u crank :)

and Marcus – yes i never saw it i reality.
The whole dam and the water management is an impressive technical marvel :o

[Catfish]

Next up ..

[mapuc]

It looks like a batch of candies being kneaded in a kneading machine
(I know it isn't)

A Sculptor ?

Markus

[Catfish]

No. Not candies.
To mention a.. "sculptor" would imply a certain belief :03:
Not art.

[Aktungbby]

a sea-going creature?

[Eichhörnchen]

You little ol' geologist, you... why this is mineral in nature (?)

[Catfish]

a sea-going creature?
I would assign "sea-going" to some ship, but yes the thing it belongs to is something living in the sea.
You little ol' geologist, you... why this is mineral in nature (?)
No, it is organic.
To make things a bit more clear the original is "organic" (though "the proportion of mineral and organic phases is an evolutionarily adjustable continuum, and nature undoubtedly possesses examples for every step between all mineral and all organic"), the thing in the picture is an artificial copy.
To mention the original it belongs to, is of course enough.

[Eichhörnchen]

Right whale?

[Catfish]

^ No.

edit: though some certain whales play a role.

[Ostfriese]

Oil shale?

[Catfish]

^? "Oil shale" (Ölschiefer) alone is not limited to a certain time, nor to sweet- or seawater conditions.
If you mean the time of the lower Jura (especially lias epsilon) the species you are looking for may have lived at the time, but there is no real evidence afaik.
edit: some say it has, but there is no fossil record found up to now.
edit2: or if, only indirect hints.

Hint: the species is (still) well alive today

[mapuc]

Killer Whale ?

Markus

[Catfish]

No.
Hint: Not a whale. But certain whales play a role in the greater picture, today.

[Aktungbby]

does it have gills?

[Catfish]

Yes.

[Jimbuna]

Shark?

[Catfish]

Not a shark

[Jimbuna]

Still alive today>

[Catfish]

Hint: the species is (still) well alive today
Indeed it did most probaby not exist in its today's living form geological ages ago (and nothing has been found). But relatives or better predecessors of this species did, and you can find a lot of their (extinct) fossil rests.

We need the name of the living form today, and its scientific name :D

[Aktungbby]

of a lobe-finned species?

[Catfish]

^ No.

[mapuc]

The only thing I can come up with is these huge Whale-shark

However you said it wasn't exactly a whale and not a shark.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Free-swimming (like a fish)?

[Catfish]

The only thing I can come up with is these huge Whale-shark. However you said it wasn't exactly a whale and not a shark.
Markus
It is not a whale at all, or a shark. I wrote that certain whales play a role.
Hint: These certain whales are a threat to the creatures in question.
Free-swimming (like a fish)?
Yes.

[mapuc]

Squid(or octopus) ?

Markus

[Jimbuna]

https://i.postimg.cc/ZR819mPm/blog-octo-coco15.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[mapuc]

It was this sentence "These certain whales are a threat to the creatures in question." Who lead me into the promise land.

Jim found the species in question.

In my opinion he has the ball now.

Markus

[Catfish]

Almost right, but it is not an octopus but another species.

There is a difference between an octopus and a squid.

We need the name of the living form today, and its scientific name :D

Marcus said squid which is right, which exactly?

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/6ZPv11C.jpg Squiddly Diddly

[Catfish]

Thinking of certain whales, using sonar to find what exactly? ... :03:

[Aktungbby]

colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Calmarcolossal.jpg/800px-Calmarcolossal.jpg

[Catfish]

^ Almost but no, it is more mundane and not limitd to the antarctic, though it looks a bit like it

Last hint – what do they hunt:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw7E7owEBm8

The plump-looking bow of these whales is being squeezed to a more hydrodynamic form by water pressure, when they dive really deep.
Their prey is usually to be found there ..

[Aktungbby]

Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas)?

[Catfish]

Still no

[mapuc]

Giant squid (Architeuthis dux)

Sperm whales dive to great depths (to more than 2 km or 1.4 mi deep) to catch one of their favorite foods: giant squid

Markus

[Catfish]

https://i.imgur.com/6ZPv11C.jpg Squiddly Diddly
:rotfl2:
Ok, but .. :D




Giant squid (Architeuthis dux)
Markus
YES! :up:

This is the beak of Architheutis dux:
"The parrot-like beak of the giant squid, strong enough to bite through steel cable, is used to cut prey into small pieces. Unlike the octopus, whose arms have simple suckers, the arms and tentacles of the giant squid are equipped with hooks and sharp sucker rings."

https://i.imgur.com/Y53lTtTm.jpg

The only hard part that is left of the elaborate sculpted ammonites and belemnites, being reduced over millions of years during evolution.

Some other depictions:

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

https://i.imgur.com/8l8v0jUl.jpg

Some time before it was thought that the architheutis was hunting sperm whales, but it was found it is the other way round.
Those squids are hunters, but the sperm whale specialised on hunting them.

"Before whales evolved, it could be that giant squids lived near the ocean surface. After whales evolved and discovered that squids are tasty, the giant squids might have started living in deeper water, to escape the whale predators. Some whales might have started diving more deeply (and developed specialized physiology allowing them to hold their breath up to 90 minutes and to resist the great pressure at depth) so they could feast on the squid, so the squid might have responded by living deeper still. Cycles like this, between predators and prey, are examples of co-evolution."

https://i.imgur.com/MSbeK2xl.jpg

Sperm whales have typical wounds from the sharp hooks of the tentacles of those deep sea sqids and their beaks, but usually the whale is the winner.

Architheutis is seldomly seen alive, when it reaches the upper layers of seawater it is usually dead, or dying (due to the missing pressure of the deep seas). Recent studies show that sperm whales and giant squids like Architheutis are being confused by underwater sounds emitted by submarines and subsea oil operations, whence the beaching of whales and increased sightings of dead squids at the oceans' surfaces.

Jim sure showed the right direction, but the octopus (sometimes called "Kraken") has eight arms without hooks or claws, while the sqids or kalmars have ten (being decapoda rather than octopoda) – two of them are longer and have special tasks of catching prey and drawing ot to the other arms, and the beak.

OT, Physeter macrocephalus ("sperm whale") has its head filled with a special substance to amplify and record a 3-dimensional picture of its surroundings by emitting a 200 db clicking sound that is being echoed and processed. It uses active sonar to hunt those giant squids.

Bingo!

I thought the aircraft clue had been overlooked or forgotten about.

https://i.postimg.cc/50dr7fFQ/fghjk-jpeg.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Over to you :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

I kept that clue for insurance :) - I was sure I'd done the Liberator myself in a previous game but can't find it in a search, so I guess not

Back soon

[Jimbuna]

Having read your post deletion Vinnie all I can say is..."A day late and a dollar short" :)

[Aktungbby]

Bah! I think I might've heard of this show; but never saw it. I never would have come up with it anyway...

[Catfish]

Galactica?
Belay that, not an aircraft name lol

Serenity Firefly?

American?

Yes

Having read your post deletion Vinnie all I can say is..."A day late and a dollar short" :)[/QUOTE} ...and I cry foul :timeout:the liberator was built by "the System" not "Merikans' [QUOTE]The System was the name of a computer network which was the controlling authority of a highly advanced alien civilisation, the original builders of the Liberator. One of the System's Deep Space Vehicles (the Liberator) had come into the possession of Blake and his followers (A: Space Fall) and the System retrieved it and interrogated the crew. (The circumstances of how it had come to be drifting, unmanned, in Federation space were never elucidated upon.)https://blakes7.fandom.com/wiki/Liberator ...not that it wouldda helped me....brain-damaged as I am??!! :O:

[Catfish]

From one of those strange puppet series?

Too bad, i thought of a real project ..

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes, from one of those
https://i.imgur.com/fRkR0EJ.jpg clue

[Catfish]

This series and the one asked before by Jim were never broadcasted over the continent, and i only became aware via YT decades later..
Hm. Supercar?

[Eichhörnchen]

Well done, Kai! I'm going to avoid these fictitious things in future - it isn't fair on you guys who didn't grow up with them as we did in the UK. Besides, I've found before that it makes it very awkward to answer the questions without giving this away, since you have to decide whether you should answer as if it were a real thing or a fiction

Very well done for getting that one and over to you! :Kaleun_Salute:

[u crank]

Are there puppets involved?

:O:

[Catfish]

Are there puppets involved?
:O:
:haha:
This is not so easy to answer. But I'd say NO.

Another "hint", maybe already too much:

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

Oh yes i am taking terrible revenge :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

Marcel beat me to that one :haha:

Is this made with LEGO?

[mapuc]

It has to be LEGO I can see part of the L on the right and the colour blue and read background.

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Is that supposed to be a red hammer?

[Ostfriese]

Wow, if you played with that you are really old :D



That's actually LEGO set 274 (Colour TV and Chair) from 1974:


https://brickset.com/sets/274-1/Colour-TV-and-chair

[Catfish]

^ :o I don't believe it, YES it is of course!

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

Ok the colours at the right maybe gave it away, but also the right set number and year ?! :yeah:
How??

Over to Ostfriese :salute:

[Jimbuna]

Obviously down to his crystal balls :)

[Ostfriese]

Well, building Lego (and other companies' bricks, there are better and cheaper brands out there) is one of my main hobbies, and I own a decent collection of sets (however, none of them is that old, my parents gave away all my childhood legos a long time ago, after I had moved out). The first picture gave the bricks away (there's a small but distinctive line between the red bricks of the chair), but the true giveaway was the part of the TV set.

The set number and the year I simply took from the database link I provided.


Anyway, a new riddle:


Who is this?


https://s20.directupload.net/images/230201/cdhaxuxe.jpg


Bonus points if you can tell me who he's talking to.

[Aktungbby]

Wilhelm von Ostfriese?:D

[Ostfriese]

Wilhelm von Ostfriese?:D


No, but I laughed :D


"Ostfriese" by the way is the German word for "East Frisian", a person from Eastern Frisia, a region in the very northwest of Germany where I lived for a few years. More than two decades ago, actually...

[u crank]

Is this person still among the living?

[Eichhörnchen]

German?

[mapuc]

Something to do with Sport ?

Belay that

He is a science man-I'm pretty sure he was.

It can't be Enrico Fermi

Markus

[Ostfriese]

@u_crank: deceased


@Eichhörnchen: Yes


@mapuc: Not Enrico Fermi, but he was a professor for a while.

[u crank]

Was he a scientist?

[mapuc]

Werner Heisenberg and he have a chat with Albert Einstein.

Markus

[Ostfriese]

He was a scientist in a way, but that‘s not really what you know him for.

It‘s not Heisenberg

[Catfish]

Well, building Lego [...] is one of my main hobbies, and I own a decent collection of sets (however, none of them is that old, my parents gave away all my childhood legos a long time ago, after I had moved out). [...]
I hear you. Legos, Wiking cars, Corgi toys, all given away or put into the trash by my parents :03:

re the new riddle i first guessed Oppenheimer, but it is not. I saw this face but cannot put a name to it.

[u crank]

Was he German?

[Catfish]

Willy Messerschmitt talking to Göring
pfft make this Ernst U. :03:

[Ostfriese]

It is indeed Willy Messerschmitt, but he‘s talking to Ernst Udet.
Over to Catfish, but no bonus points.

[Catfish]

I had already changed it to Ernst before your post :03:

Ok what is this

https://i.imgur.com/11kzRpkm.jpg?1

[Jimbuna]

The Leduc 0.21?

[Catfish]

^ not french

edit: i had to look the LeDuc up, i admit i never heard of that before. It looks a bit like the object in question indeed.

[Eichhörnchen]

The Caproni Campini experimental jet

[Catfish]

No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Looks rather like a Sukhoi of some type - is it?

[Catfish]

Actually it is an english design :)

[u crank]

Miles M.52?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Well that appears to be that

[Catfish]

You guys are quick! Unbelievable :haha:

Yes it is the Miles M.52, with a terrific history in british supersonic flight.

https://i.imgur.com/4JHSKyVl.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/DN44woNl.jpg

"According to senior figures at Miles, the design and the research gained from the M.52 was shared with the American company Bell Aircraft, and that this was applied to their own Bell X-1, a ground-breaking high-speed experimental aircraft which broke the sound barrier."

Results were also used in designing and building the English Electric/BAC Lightning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_M.52

^ Where is this - I can't really reconcile it with Jim's picturemy point entirely!:haha:...I've looked at a hundred Hindu very colorful Southern Indian temples and posted the gaudiest one...as soon as my bleu-Verde-tourquise colour blindness:o recuperates(on top of my TIA-afflicted mentality:O:) I'll keep on looking!??:()1::damn:

Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Chennai?

Not that one but you are in the correct state.

Nope not that one :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Kamakshi Amman temple?

[Jimbuna]

Getting closer :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Kalikambal temple?

[Jimbuna]

Further south :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Ayyappan temple?

[Jimbuna]

No and I'm really struggling to give a clue because each one I try takes you straight there.

CLUE: Part of a temple complex.

[Aktungbby]

in Madurai India?

[Jimbuna]

Not as far as I'm aware.

[Eichhörnchen]

Gateway - Adeeswar temple? (I've only got one left after this :haha:)

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

After having posted originally I checked Google Earth then realised there are dozens of the buggas :o

CLUE: This is a bigun.

[Aktungbby]

Near the Kollidam river?

[Jimbuna]

YES!!

Now that I have led Eich to the greasy green banks of his limpopo may he attain the godhead straightaway!:O:
