Cantr II Quiz

[SekoETC]

This is just a guess, since I only read the animal reports to see how many pigeons are still alive. --- The lemming?

[Chris Johnson]

It's neither the scarab nor the lemming

[Spider]

This is going to take a while....horse, hawk, cow, lion, buffalo? One of those?

[El Bicho Mutante]

Who stole my mammoth!? I was sure I parked here in the night, now there is an elephant instead :p

am I right?

[Chris Johnson]

None of these

Who stole my mammoth!? I was sure I parked here in the night, now there is an elephant instead :p

am I right?

Nope

Well thats just over 20% of animals covered so far

Another clue then - Because animals are now being translated the correct animal which replaced the one we are looking for is probably only viewable if you play an English speaking character

[formerly known as hf]

Crocodile now an alligator?

Desert tortoise now something more accurate?

Mammoth is the only other incorrect animal I can think of, but that's been said...

[Chris Johnson]

Crocodiles, Mammoths and Desert Tortoises all still in the game as they were before .

[mcclone]

Moose?

[Chris Johnson]

Computer says no (A UK reference but correct in this case)

EDIT - Though strictly speaking I 've realised that two animals were replaced and mcclone is correct

Sheeps and Mooses no longer exist in Cantr - they have been replaced with Sheep and Moose

And there's not just two types of rice food, there's meat sushi, fish sushi and steamed rice. So that makes three.

I take your three, and raise you one.

Rice cakes.


Whose question is it anyway?
Seems to have dried up.
My turn then



What is the minimum amount of iron required to make a cup of tea?
You can use the Wiki for this one - and a calculator if you need one

EDIT: You can't - tea recepies require crushed tea leaves - the raw resource is tea leaves, and there's no way to crush them...

[Sicofonte]

Oh... I don't know how to make crushed tea from tea leaves. Assuming then it doesn't need any iron.

The "cup" would be a wooden bowl or our hands. No iron.

The wood can be gathered without tools. No iron.

The water...

A water pump would require 600 g. steel (327.1028037
g iron) and a shovel (200 g. iron), a wrench (150 g. iron and 75 g. steel -> 40.88785047 g. iron) and a screwdriver (60 g. iron). A total of 777.99065417... 778 g. iron.

Or we can use a well to obtain the water: it needs a shovel (200 g. iron) and medium rope, so 750 g. iron and a screwdriver would be needed.


Then...

778 g. iron?



EDIT: it is very strange that iron is needed to get water... so strange the Cantr reality.

[formerly known as hf]

Assuming that the drying rack can make crushed leaves (it dries tea leaves according to the wiki - but the result is listed as 'unknown' - I'll assume it's crushed leaves, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 'dried tea leaves' and tea is an impossible resource...) it would go a little something like this:

Oven: Wooden trowel required: 40g iron

Well: Shovel: 200g iron
Rope machine (for medium rope): 750g iron
Screwdriver (for rope machine): 60g iron
(Total: 1010g iron required)

Water pump:
460g iron to make 600g steel
Shovel: 200g iron
Screwdriver: 60g iron
Wrench: 150g plus 45g for steel required
Wooden bucket required - but made with bronze carving knife (hah - yeah, right...)
(Total: 915g required)

The water pump actually works out cheaper in iron terms than the well - so the minimum possible total (in a fictional Cantr world - a fiction of a fiction - where rbonze can possibly be produced) would be 955g

[psymann]

You can't - the raw resource is tea leaves, and there's no way to crush them...

O_O

No!!

Surely there must be a way to crush them. If not, you can't make tea, so why on earth is it in the wiki?! Tea...!!

Can't we just use a mortar and pestle? (Unless there isn't one of those either... )

For the purposes of this question, let's assume you require a mortar and pestle to crush leaves, and therefore this stage of the operation requires no iron.

778 g. iron?

Not far off.
I didn't get the same conversion as you from Steel to Iron. You say 675g steel in total which I agree with, but I didn't make this equal to the 368 iron you calculated. Not sure which one of us is wrong though.
Otherwise, there is, I believe, one other item required that you've not mentioned...

I didn't factor-in the building of a cup/bowl.

I'm assuming that the gi-ganormous pouch Cantrians grow on the skin of their backs in the first 15 years of their life, which is somehow able to seperate into up to hundreds of different sections at will, must be water-tight as they can carry water without a bucket... So they can store tea just as well...

And one of their 36 arms must have a plate on the end, and another which is a cup/bowl.
