2. Are you a certain body part?

No. No body parts are involved.

Cec, I think this probably ruled out my attempt there, which was "eyes"....

Yes udosuk, that would seem to be the case. My mistake in overlooking MCC had previously stated "body parts" are not involved in the answer. I'm still searching for an answer?

I guess the common word is corners - maybe MCC didn't deny it because you didn't put it forward with confidence, udosuk.

If udosuk doesn't get the big cheque, I'll log in right angle as an alternative - I think that's a better fit with nearly always left behind on site.

The answer is "right angle", well done emm

Corners was supposed to direct you in the right direction.

Right angles are used throughout construction work, from the laying out of the foundations to the actual building.

I am nearly always left behind on site.

Some buildings have been constructed so as to have no right angles within them, although right angles would have been used in the initial layout.

Well done emm - seems the rest of us approached this one at the"wrong" angle

Cec

[MCC]

How about angles?

I posted "Is this the right answer "

I thought someone would get it from this.

Well done emm... Other than the correct answer you also posted 2 great ones in backdoors and hands...

Thanks udosuk, it was a good riddle with a number of tantalisingly close-but-not-quite possibilities.

emm, I think people are supposed to say "Lock it in, Eddie!" not log...

I think they are too. I have obviously been spending too much time on the computer and not enough in front of the TV!

I always have the impression you are a Brit

What led you to assume I was British? Was it my abhorrence of the mention of sex or my impeccably good manners?
You know appearances can be deceiving. I’m neither British nor Australian.

My "wrong" angle was a jovial comment Looking again at MCC's above "Is this the right answer " I agree it is surprising that one of us, including me, didn't get on to this quicker.

A thoroughly enjoyable riddle of nice length and enough twists to hold interest to the end.

A quickie riddle for you.

This kiwi is australian.

What am I


MCC

[udosuk]

A quickie riddle for you.

This kiwi is australian.

What am I

If the question was "Who" instead of "What", the straight-forward answer would be Russell Crowe...

Along that line, we could put forth a couple more:

This Aussie is a Yank. Who am I?

This Saffa is a Kiwi. Who am I?



PS: I can't believe there exists such a thing...

Australian Kiwi

Also, there is this piece of "kids news"...

[MCC]

It is not Russel Crowe nor any other human being. (That leads to the question... better not.)

Re riddle: You wouldn't want to eat this.

Film title "Out of Australia" starring the kiwi.

You'll need to put your best foot forward here.

As for:

This Aussie is a Yank. Who am I?

This Saffa is a Kiwi. Who am I?

I'll assume these are sportsmen, so I'll leave these to others to resolve.

Used time machine for sale, only travels into the future.

I call it a 'bed' - 7 or 8 hours go by in a blink of an eye or longer if you wish.

"This kiwi is australian"

"Puts the shine back into your life."

There is a shoe polish made in Australia called "Kiwi" but some of the other clues don't seem to relate?. However I'll still say "shoe polish".

Cec

[udosuk]

Great answer Cec... Never use shoe polish myself so would never find the answer alone...

There are too many much more interesting and enjoyable activities one could do on a bed than mere time travelling...

You're WRONG in making that assumption. Neither of these persons are sportsmen. But I don't expect you to be able to resolve these anyway...
