just thinking out loud, maybe it will jog someone else's brain...can't be a calculator cause it most often uses batteries, computers have more than just numbers, so do cell phones......trying to think of things with numbers but not clock....ummmmmmm

Loveroflife · April 2016

Hi grandma! Could be model or serial numbers too.

12. Is the other material plastic?

ceanna · April 2016

12. One of the materials is plastic. I don't think we ID'd the other material.

I would remind you that numbers are not necessary, so don't spend too much time in that area.

Thinking about the function might be helpful.

Off to bed now and busy day tomorrow, but I'll be back later Friday.

Loveroflife · April 2016

I was assuming the other material is most likely metal ( because in general, metal is a more common electricity conductor). Just guessing.

13. Could you find it at Home Depot?

Kay_G · April 2016

14. Would I likely have one of these in my office at work?

feelingfeline · April 2016

15 Used recreationally?

ceanna · April 2016

13. Yes, you could find at Home Depot (I had to search the Home Depot website for that answer!!)

14. Yes, it could be in your office at work.

15. Not likely used recreationally.

edited to add--yes, the other material is metal!!

17. Does it require water to operate properly?

ceanna · April 2016

OncoWarrior!! Congrats!!! You win!! Yes, a paper shredder which can be any size from a portable model to a truck size machine!!!

I'm curious, what made you think of a paper shredder? I thought we might have to go a couple more questions before we could narrow down!! Great guess!!

You're up!!

Good job, OncoW !

I was thinking it might be a coffee pot.

Loveroflife · April 2016

Thought it was coffee pot too, but most, if not all, have numbers on them. Was going to ask the exact question too. Ha! Good job Onco

OncoWarrior · April 2016

Thank you. The last clue was really helpful. I had thought of coffee maker, but then "15. Not likely used recreationally." put an end to that! Coffee is both a necessary and recreational beverage for some.

OK. I hope someone is on now, because I am not sure how long I can stay.

But I should be back tomorrow sometime again.

New one.

THING. and, in the Groucho Marx "You bet you life" clue system: it is something you see every day.
