Who / What / Where Game

The picture made me remember a documentary on one of my nature channel. It was about a little animal who ate a special type of beans and people looked up their poops to make coffee of these beans

A very expensive coffee.

Nope...a traditional hard candy boiled down from a plant oil....if placed in water, it dissolves verrrry consistently! a critical factor in anyone's big bang theory

[Catfish]

So it is indeed "Candy", something to eat

[Aktungbby]

it can be partaken of orally.

Aniseed balls?

[Aktungbby]

Well done ! Now what's it used in ...every 35 minutes or so? with a Woolworths bowel...and a condom?

[Catfish]

Jim said what it is, are there any more questions allowed?
Otherwise it's mine, and i'll be limping home with it

Nah i take it Jim knows very well where/what for it was used.

Indeed Jimbo has led U 2 the promised land. The limpet mine was cobbled together from cheap parts and the sweetshops raided for aniseed balls which uniformly dissolve in water in 35 minutes; allowing the saboteur to escape. The item was mentioned in this week's episode of Foyles War a WWII era crime drama in which the use of an aniseed ball timer is utilized to blow up a ship of Jewish refugees in a French port . I said Aha! my next puzzle to perplex U guys! Over 2 Catfish! https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peo...a4376153.shtml

The two men visited Woolworths and they got washing-up bowls made of spun aluminium to contain the explosives. They then raided all the sweet shops in Bedford for aniseed balls that were used as a time delay for setting off the explosives so that the saboteurs, frogmen who were attaching these limpet mines to the side of enemy ships, could have a safe time to escape before the charges went off. So I saw quite a lot of this acivity going on in the house, particularly this interesting development with an unusual use of aniseed balls.

The aniseed balls were drilled and little detonator capsules put inside and my father had these ranged around the house and setting off at different times depending on the amount of aniseed ball that was used on each detonator. He would rush into the room in the house where, on the mantlepiece, one of these charges would be put in a big glass Woolworth's tumbler and he would say, "Right, that's 35 minutes." It didn't matter that probably the glass had fractured and all the water had gone - he had got something that worked and they were quickly able to establish how much of an aniseed ball was needed to give the varying times of delay that the operators would require.

My next clue:

He'll next want to know how many were in a kiddies packet of sweets no doubt!

Carry on Kai

Hey no, Jim got the right answer ! Bby asked for what it is and Jim answered with aniseed. Would never have found that .. was just riding on his info trying to be "witty" (german variety)

Nope! over to Catfish I specifically asked "what munition ' this is which directly is a detonation function of the limpet mine, As the popomeister Pußle crafter and lover of poopy coffee beans ; the decision is mine alone! Over to Catfish!

Is there Hydrogen or Helium in the envelope?

[Catfish]

^ not on the photo i think, but it was filled at least once with helium

[Jimbuna]

High-altitude balloon?
