Our sources say, Yes, it does consume oxygen.

1. It is not bigger than a bucket.
2. It is a living thing.
3. It is not an invertebrate animal.
4. It consumes oxygen.

Question: Does it reproduce asexually?

We have... no

1. It is not bigger than a bucket.
2. It is a living thing.
3. It is not an invertebrate animal.
4. It consumes oxygen.
5. It does not reproduce asexually.

6. Does it spend most of its life in water?


So far: It's a vertebrate or a fungus, but not a plant. And it is no larger than a bucket... So no bigger than this. (it's the bucket of a dragline)

... "and appropriate force-carrying particles". Photons count as those. So Samarium doesn't fit. Also, it kind of has dubious value to humans.


Even when they're not carrying forces over short distances?

...perhaps, then, the kinetic sculpture is made of an exotic (and up til now untheorised by humans) element whose nucleus consists entirely of third-generation quarks?

Don't plants consume a small amount of oxygen at night?

Yes, yes they do. Basically any time when they are using the food that they made. They just produce a whole lot more than they consume, so it's a net plus for all of us that require the stuff.

Well, at least one third-generation particle. Perhaps it vitally incorporates taus, or stable supersymmetric partners of neutrinos, or something.

They actually use oxygen all the time. Not just at night. The annoying thing is that I knew that and still put down it wasn't a plant. Oh well...

Okay, a flip... No.

2. It is a living thing.
3. It is not an invertebrate animal.

9. It is not fictional.
10. It does not spread its seeds on the wind.

11. Is its main cellular structure primarily composed of cellulose?

Now we'll find out if I was right after all...and just didn't know it at the time.
