Sorry, I didn't realize there would be other varieties.

[ahra]

um. that thing has different names, depending on origin and folding technique around the waist and/or ankles. maybe a lungi?

[RBS]

OK, this next pic is called a word I only see in crossword puzzles.

You are sort of correct RBS... But only with the second part of your answer...

It is called a Deadweight anchor.
These are used on flat roofs when a structural fix is not cost effective, penetration of the roof surface is undesirable or a temporary solution is required to keep the roofers safe while they are working.

You are next.

[RBS]

Well what would you call something that acts like a big suction cup that you can harness yourself to to keep from falling.

Of course there is the possibility of the Wile E. Coyote syndrome where you fall off anyway and pull that down on top of your head.

[Yvonne]

Okay, I hope I don't give too much away but here is a hint

it can be used by roofers

[funja]

you can give hints anytime you wont, most people are asking what it is directly you can also ask stuff, is it heavy, is it used for recreation, stuff like that that narrows it down slightly to make it easier, but as i said you can give hints anytime you want, or be mean and make us google someone will eventualy find it.

[Yvonne]

Sorry Fern, but that is not correct..

[Fern]

Hmmm... something industrial? A machine part?

[Yvonne]

Well maybe you could use it for that although I think that the runner isn't going to get very far.

At what stage in the game do I need to give a hint? I'm kinda new at this game
Do I even give hints?
