[Dr. Perry Cox]

Lesse… lemme figure out what my thing will be…

Okay, got it. This is something referenced in a JoCo song. I suppose I may have been unfair: Not only was it referenced, it is also a lyric in the given song

Edited: I need to change something in my initial description.

Q1: Is it an animal? -Angelastic
A1: It could be, I suppose. I can’t exactly give a definitive answer to that question. But I’m probably going to have to go with no.

Q2: Is it referenced in a song that was released on a physical CD with an odd number of tracks? – Bry
A2: Yes

Q3: Is it inanimate? – Encubed
A3: Yes

Q4: Is it named in the title of the song it comes from? – Bry
A4: No

Q5: Is it referenced once in the song or multiple times? – Encubed
A5: Yes (Had read the question wrong- Should be a yes/no question, but I’m letting this one go, and saying that it’s multiple times)

Q6: Is the version of the song on CD the original recording? (i.e. “no” = the song has not been previously recorded — there has been a demo version or an Awryone version, or the song is a cover) – Bry
A6: No, it is not the original recording. Nice question

Q7: Is the object bigger than a human being? – Encubed
A7: Not usually

Q8: Does the title of the song include a person’s name (real or fictional)? – Bry
A8: Yes

Q9: Is the song more science based than general life based? – Jon Who
A9: Yes

Q10: Is the person named in the song title fictional? – Angelastic
A10: No. And at this point you should know the song.

Q11: Is it a heart shaped box? -MitchO
A11: No, it is not

Q12: Is it something named after someone? – Bry
A12: Yes, it is, in fact. And you’re not allowed to ask any more questions, Bry. You’re too close to the answer.

Q13: Is there a “C” in the name of the person that the object is named after? – MitchO
A13: There is

Q14: Koch Curve? – Jon Who
A14: Nope.

Q15: Is it a Rorschach Test? -MitchO – Correct answer
A15: It is, in fact

And anyway, they are inanimate objects, because there are 10 specific inkblots.

Sorry about the… “confusion” I guess, with the first question, but since the blots are often seen as animals, I could exactly say no, completely.

Also, Lex, while you are right that it would be 6 with Mandelbrot Set, since it’s the name of the song, it had to be ruled out immediately.
