Naturally, I was thinking of a motor scooter. Not just a Cushman, but probably a vintage scooter. The computer never guessed correctly. It first said a shotgun, then an ATV. Finally, I had to tell that it was a motor scooter. It found what it call "discrepencies." (Which it probably spelled correctly.) I'll copy and paste these:

You said it is classified as Mineral, I say Other.
see my answer no. 1
Would you find it on a farm? You said Sometimes, I say No. see my answer no. 2
Can you open it? You said Partly, I say No. see my answer no. 3
Do you open and close it? You said Yes, I say No. see my answer no. 4
Is it a synthetic material? You said Doubtful, I say Probably.

1. The correct answer is "mineral" because old scooters are mainly steel bodies with iron or aluminum engines.

2. The correct answer is "sometimes" because many people who own scooters these days, as in the past, use them to get about large areas such as farms, parks, or airports.

3. "Partly" is correct. I can open the trunk on my Cushmans. Vespas have a front glove compartment that is larger than the one in a car or in some cases there is a covered storage area under the seat. Other motor scooters have doors into mechanical areas that must be checked.

4. "Yes" is correct. I open and close the above mentioned compartments all the time.

5. "Doubtful" is a better answer than "probably."
The computer's error was likely the result of being told that motor scooters have plastic bodies and synthetic materials in the seat. Older scooters had very little plastic. Sometimes none at all. Early seats were leather.
A 300 poound, 50 year old Cushman has less than 10% synthetic material by weight, mostly in tires which may have originally been natural rubber. Grips, floor mats, seat coverings, and wire coverings may also be man-made materials.

I seem to have left out one of their "descrepincies":
Are there many different sorts of it? You said Yes, I say Doubtful. I answered "yes" to this because there are all kinds of different disigns and brands of motorscooters.

I'm going to try it again after I read some other responses. Maybe I'll make it easier next time.
