Sorry it took me so long to get around to posting this. Yay for essay season!

Rules: Every week (or so) a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and lack of mental health; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week voting shall commence!

What If I win?: The winner chooses the next scenario and list of items.

Scenario

Okay, I'm sick of inventory puzzles. Lets change things up a bit.

You are a dog named Watson. You have four feet and are about 12 inches (30 cm) high at the shoulder. Your owner has just made a sandwich. Said sandwich has been left on the counter while your owner went to answer the phone in the other room. You want that sandwich. Go get it.

Remember, you are a dog, though a rediculously clever one. You can only hold one item at a time, and it has to be something small enough to fit in a dog's mouth. You have no thumbs, but you can pull things with your teeth.



You can use anything in this picture, but remember distances. You can pull and push chairs, drawers and cupboard doors. The sandwich is by the fruitbowl.

Yeah, this is quite different than a normal puzzle time, but I think we've pretty much exhausted inventory and "escape from a room" puzzles. Lets see what people can come up with for a trickier version. If no one is interested, I'll come up with something new.

LOOK TALL CHAIR
"In sweden. 'stylish' means 'inpractical'"

LOOK WOODEN CHAIR
"Ah. Wooden, lightweight, lovely. Not to mention strangely erotic..."

CLIMB ON TALL CHAIR/ CLIMB ON WOODEN CHAIR
"Gah. my previous career in the circus has left my front legs undeveloped and flimsly. Accursed Unicycle!"

AGAIN
"Not enough upper body strength!"

PULL TALL CHAIR
"This slippery swedish metal is not designed to have dogs teeth clamped around it...not like shoes..."

PULL WOODEN CHAIR
"I'll just drag it here..."
*Drags it halfway between TALL CHAIR and WOODEN TABLE*
"*puff pant* Evidently it's not THAT lightweight..."

AGAIN
"Even if I pulled it all the way over to those evil swedish chairs I still wouldn't be able to climb on it..."

PUSH WOODEN CHAIR
"If my frisby-catching ontained knowledge of the laws of physics I deduct that trying to tip this chair over by hitting the bottom of the chair legs will just move it forward slightly...and give me concussion..."

LOOK DRAWERS
"With handy-dandy mouth-fitting handles"

PULL DRAWERS
*The whole drawer comes out and slides over next to the WOODEN CHAIR *

LOOK AT DRAWER
"Well...piss..."

PULL DRAWER
"It was heavier than I thought...I can't move it..."

STAND ON DRAWER
"OW...Sharp cutlery...SHARP CUTLERY!!!"

PUSH WOODEN CHAIR
*It moves forward slightly but then falls over the drawer in the middle of the floor. It is stopped from falling the whole way by the TALL CHAIR*
"All hail me! Mighty creator of chair-based table climbing devices!"

CLIMB UP CHAIR-BASED TABLE CLIMBING DEVICE
*It falls out from under you as soon as you reach the table*
"Right. That's step 1! Now to get from here...To there..."

LOOK AT LIGHT
"It's dangling from the ceiling. Inbetween here and where I want to get to...Hint hint"

SWING ON LIGHT
"It's too high for me to get to"

LOOK AT SPONGECAKE
"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"

EAT SPONGECAKE
"No. that stuff expands in your stomach. I need to save my appetite for that sandwich!"

LOOK AT WINE BOTTLE
"Chatou de Plonk"

OPEN WINE BOTTLE
"Yeah...Even humans in their bendy-thumbed glory can't do that without special machinery and I'm a dog. It's not gonna happen..."

GRAB WINE BOTTLE
"Uhkay i'fe go'it i' mny teef!"

PUT WINE BOTTLE IN SPONGECAKE
"Spongecake 'n' Wine...Move over Jamie Oliver!"

BREAK WINE BOTTLE
"Oh...I get it. When I break the bottle the spongecake will absorb the wine and expand forming a platform I can leap off to gfrab thaty light overhead"
*You break the bottle with your hind legs, kicking it like a donkey. It shatters and the wine spills out mostly over the table.*
"Oh...Christ! Glass shards!!"
*With sharp broken glass underneath your feet You leap up in the air in true cartoon style and grab on to the light"
"Ow ow ow! That was horrible...This sandwich better be worth it..."

SWING ON LIGHT
"It doesn't look like this is the 'swingy' sort of light. This long bit is fixed in place..."

LOOK AT OVEN
"I bet I can open that from here"

OPEN OVEN
*You open the top door, jump onto it then jump onto the counter.*
"I made it! Haha!"
*You walk across the counter to the sandwich of your dreams*
"It's even more beatiful than I imagined."
*You grab it in your teeth and jump down off the counter.*
"Hmmmn. Maybe some fruit would go well with this..."
*You jump neatly back onto the counter and grab an apple"

THE END


Whew. That's that then.

Great rules, DragonRose.
