[gendervoid_killua] 3, 2, 1, takeoff!

Postby gendervoid_killua » Mon Feb 21, 2022 12:37 pm

An airplane has saved me time on a number of occasions. However, I’m not sure it’s really worth the inconvenience.

Probably going to be solved fairly quickly, haven’t come up with a puzzle in…a while, haha.

Did you fly on the airplane? Pilot it? See it? Hear it? Is it the same airplane on each occasion? The same airplane route? Is it a jet? Turboprop? Piston engined plane? RC plane? Model plane? Are the inconveniences of air travel relevant? Of aircraft noise? Is an airport relevant? Does it save travel time? Shipping time? Work? WAG: do you live near the end of a runway, and the blast from planes taking off clears your yard of leaves?

Did you fly on the airplane? Pilot it? See it? Yes Hear it? No to the others Is it the same airplane on each occasion? Yesish The same airplane route? FA Is it a jet? Turboprop? Piston engined plane? RC plane? Model plane? It’s not really any of these, but ‘model plane’ would be closest Are the inconveniences of air travel relevant? Of aircraft noise? Is an airport relevant? Does it save travel time? Shipping time? Work? No to all of these WAG: do you live near the end of a runway, and the blast from planes taking off clears your yard of leaves? No, though that would be a timesaver, lol

Does it fly? Is it a paper airplane? Do you see it fly? See it being made? Bought? Sold? Is it bigger than a bread box? Is it powered? If so, by combustion? Electricity? Rubber bands? Muscle power? Is the airplane yours? Are any other humans relevant? Any animals relevant? On each occasion, do you save seconds? Minutes? Hours? Days? Relevant what you do with the time saved?

Is it a picture of an airplane? in a logo, maybe?
A thing resembling an airplane?
The word "airplane"? (or some other word that denotes an airplane?)
In order to have the time-saving effect, would you have to see the airplane? touch it? enter it? come close to it? go to some specific place? get up earlier?

Is it an electrically powered picture? Indeed it is, more specifically… A picture of an electrically powered plane? Is it a digital image? …this! A photo? Painting? Drawing? This is closest do you need to touch it on a touch screen? A phone? Yes

Apologies if this is a double post, my wifi is acting up

Is it on a phone? Tablet? Computer? TV? Projector screen? Do you use it to unlock a device? Is it a background image? Lock screen image? Logon screen image? Does it save time when you're about to use the device? Such as logging in? Is the inconvenience that you need to touch it? Would it be possible to use another image? If so, one without an airplane? If so, would it still have "the inconvenience"?

Is it on a phone? This Tablet? Computer? TV? Projector screen? Do you use it to unlock a device? Is it a background image? Lock screen image? Logon screen image? None of these, see below Does it save time when you're about to use the device? Such as logging in? No Is the inconvenience that you need to touch it? No Would it be possible to use another image? Technically I suppose so, but in practice I wouldn’t (again, see below) If so, one without an airplane? Yes, subject to the same caveats If so, would it still have "the inconvenience"? Yes

Sundowner64

Do you switch your mobile phone to airplane mode? Indeed!

Are you inconvenienced by what airplane mode turns off? If so, cell service? Wifi? Bluetooth? Relevant when you use airplane mode? Where? For how long? Is it simpler to use it than another feature on the phone, but it accomplishes what you need, so it saves extra steps?

Are you inconvenienced by what airplane mode turns off? Yes If so, cell service? Wifi? Both of these, yes! Bluetooth? This one less so Relevant when you use airplane mode? Indeed, see below Where? For how long? Is it simpler to use it than another feature on the phone, but it accomplishes what you need, so it saves extra steps?No to these

Switching your phone to airplane mode to get rid of ads in mobile games relevant? Very much so, yes! In fact, enough for a…

***SPOILER***

Whenever I play a mobile game with a lot of ads, I sometimes switch my phone to airplane mode to keep them from playing. However, this also means I no longer get texts, calls, or pretty much any other notifications, which is pretty inconvenient. Thanks to GalFisk, Sundowner64, trebor2, and doriana_ for the questions!
