And I knew of it because my dad had another one of those “plots”. He liked to joke about buying up three more around it, and setting up a tripod oil drill. He never took it as far as Eddie did, but I think he probably got his money’s worth out of the amusement he got from it.
OK, I’ll try one. I have an ax, which is bilaterally symmetric with two edges (it looks like a T when I hold it up in front of me). Still, it’s not symmetric when I turn it by 90 degrees!
Tell me the purpose of it!
OK, I’m thinking of the ax being held vertically, like a z-axis. Turning it 90 degrees, like I’m holding it parallel to the ground would make it asymmetrical as regards the z-axis. Is that what you had in mind?
Nope. I’m turning it around the axis of the handle. And the lack of symmetry is from *my *viewpoint; I have no doubt that some observer from the n:th dimension might still find it symmetric! 
Thank you, Folly! Glad to be able to contribute!
As for the asymmetrical axe (or should I call it a hatchet?) I’ll give y’all one more clue: It never was supposed to work by itself all alone. It would have taken something more…! 
Is it a toy?
No.
By “axe”, do you mean that it is a device meant for chopping wood or other material into smaller pieces?
If so: Does it have two sharp edges?
Is it intended for use as a weapon?
Is it intended for use on wood?
Is it intended for use on some other material?
Regarding the two axe blades (at least the two parts of the axe that form the horizontal portion of the T) is one ‘blade’ centered and perpendicular to the handle, as in a typical axe?
Regarding the ‘something more’ does it attach to the axe? must it touch the axe in order to be of use? Does it touch whatever the axe is working on?
Are there any axe answers coming?
Is it a guitar? Other musical instrument?
So…we’re allowed to google search now, right?
Not that I think that it will help very much…
I’d love to see this thread get going again. Can whoever posted the most recent puzzle keep it going(restate it) or give us the answer?
I’ll do a new one, then. Totally googleable, so please avoid.
Roger was a hero in the eyes of many, though I’m sure some disliked him along the way. He received numerous commendations and medals in his lifetime. The thing is, Roger had a secret he kept almost his entire life, one that he feared would get out. What was Roger’s secret and why was he so afraid of it getting out?
Was Roger secretly an agent for the other side?
Was Roger a woman?
Was Roger posing as a woman?
NO to everything here.
Was Roger a non-white person passing as a white person?
Was Roger gay?
Had Roger committed a crime in the past?
ETA: Is this a true story or fiction?
Is Roger Human?
