The rule says, "No vehicles in the park".
This is a game about language and rules.
Every question is about a hypothetical park. The park has a rule: "No vehicles in the park." Your job is to determine if this rule has been violated.
You might know of some rule in your jurisdiction which overrides local rules, and allows certain classes of vehicles. Please disregard these rules; the park isn't necessarily in your jurisdiction. Or perhaps your religion allows certain rules to be overridden. Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed).
For each question answer "Yes this violates the rule" or "No it doesn't violate the rule"
1. Greg pilots a commercial airliner over the park.
Does this violate the rule?
2. Todd roller skates through the park.
Does this violate the rule?
3. Tanisha wheels her wheelchair through the park.
4. Brad pulls a wagon full of picnic supplies into the park.
5. Neil drives a Honda Civic into the park.
6. The park contains a beach. Matthew surfs on a surfboard, onto the beach.
7. In an emergency, Kareem, an EMT, drives his ambulance into the park.
8. Keisha pulls a wagon into the park; her kids are riding in the wagon.
9. The park contains a lake. Meredith sails a toy boat on the lake.
10. Kristen drives a battery-powered remote-control toy car in the park.
11. The park contains a large lake. Brendan rows a rowboat on the lake.
12. Allison carries her skateboard through the park. She does not skate while inside the park.
13. Jamal pushes his child in a stroller through the park.
14. Sarah rides her bike through the park.
15. In an emergency, Laurie, a police officer, drives her police car into the park.
1. No it doesn't violate the rule. The airliner is not in the park, it is flying above it.
2. No it doesn't violate the rule. Roller skates are not generally considered vehicles.
3. No it doesn't violate the rule. A wheelchair is generally not considered a vehicle, but rather a mobility aid.
4. No it doesn't violate the rule. A wagon, especially when pulled by a person, is not typically classified as a vehicle.
5. Yes this violates the rule. A Honda Civic is clearly a vehicle.
6. No it doesn't violate the rule. A surfboard is not considered a vehicle.
7. Yes this violates the rule. An ambulance is a vehicle, regardless of the circumstance.
8. No it doesn't violate the rule. As with the earlier wagon example, this is not typically considered a vehicle.
9. No it doesn't violate the rule. A toy boat is not considered a vehicle.
10. Yes this violates the rule. Even though it's a toy, a remote-controlled car could still be considered a vehicle.
11. No it doesn't violate the rule. A rowboat, while a form of transport, isn't typically classified as a vehicle.
12. No it doesn't violate the rule. She is not riding the skateboard, so it's not functioning as a vehicle.
13. No it doesn't violate the rule. A stroller is more akin to a piece of baby equipment than a vehicle.
14. Yes this violates the rule. A bike is generally considered a vehicle.
15. Yes this violates the rule. A police car is a vehicle, irrespective of the situation.
