[invisiblemimsy] Flying Without Wings

[invisiblemimsy]

Flying without wings:-
Was this the fastest bird in the East?

[jumpingjacks]

Was it? =)

[invisiblemimsy]

Lol, you tell me... it was certainly fast

[GalFisk]

Bird: the animal? One specific bird? One species? Bird: plane? Person? Superhero? Skydiver? Machine? Toy? Was it fast horizontally? Vertically? Was it supersonic? Was it Felix Baumgartner? East: Asia? Eastern US? Eastern part of a country? Continent?

Are we talking about cartoon? Real life? A bird born without wings (I mean that is usual for the birds of that species not to have wings)? So are we talking about an animal classified as a bird which physically had no wings? If was the bird able to fly? Fastest = on the ground? Up in the air? If up in the air, fastest in the sense that using its physical attributes he could reach very high speed in flying? Or that he was transported by an artificial engine which allowed the bird to reach that speed? I mean, if the above are correct, we know that ostrich is the fastest bird in the world on the ground...all we need to discover is wheather ostrich is also in the "East" and what is meant by East...

Did we establish that the bird in question is indeed the ostrich?
"fastest on the ground" = it runs the fastest? does something else the fastest?

[invisiblemimsy]

Did we establish that the bird in question is indeed the ostrich? What, where? You just established that the bird in question is NOT the ostrich
"fastest on the ground" = it runs the fastest? This-ish... but mega-laterally. does something else the fastest? no

[Earnest]

It runs with its paws? E.g. in a challenge with other birds on the ground he would arrive first?
Cooking relevabt?

[invisiblemimsy]

It runs with its paws? No, the bird does not run with its paws. E.g. in a challenge with other birds on the ground he would arrive first? Within the context of this puzzle (and its real-life equivalent), this bird would always arrive first.

Haha, Earnest mentioned in a previous post that the fastest bird on the ground was the ostrich, but your reply didn't really comment on that, so I wasn't sure

Fastest = its cooking time is the fastest? so it always arrives at the table first?
Is this a bird that is commonly eaten in China? In the West? Chicken? Duck? Albatross? Haha

*********************************$POILER********************************

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics Usain Bolt set world records for the 100m and 200m races, and the 4x100m relay, gaining 3 gold medals. Pretty much his entire diet at that event was McD's chicken nuggets, because he didn't like Chinese food. He would have been 'carrying' those birds during his events!

Well done to everyone who took part, and to Galfisk for the final solve.
