Where can we find an electric cooker, refrigerators and an air purifier?

Book and page please.

Cheers,

Hmm..

My first guess was the Moon Rocket, In Destination Moon Pg110, Professor Calculus mentioned about an `automatic air purifier`. However, there were no sign of the cooker and refrigerator.

As such, my wild guess would go to something else in the same book - The Space Suit!

In Page 102/103, we see the Captain having a `space-suit trial`.. Wolff was adjusting the temperature of the space suit to extremely low temperature (refrigerator) and reminded the Captain to adjust his `heating apparatus` (cooker). The Suit of course serves as `Air Purifier`, in fact it supply oxygen for the team during their moon trip, whenever they were out of the moon rocket (except for the air-filled tank).

So.. does this make sense at all?

Close veronbeezus. So close.

I'm afraid your wild guess was incorrect. However your first guess...

Let's just say (And I'll include the hint) seek the large blue page and you will find.

Arch!! It's found in the Moon Rocket's Blue Print!

In Destination Moon Pg 101, as seen on the Professor's Blue Print submitted to Mr.Baxter, all 3 items are listed within the `Living Quarters` section.

The hint was a great help Ranko, seems like I shouldn't be thinking too wild!

Maybe this is a case where we should bend the new rule about only one guess per quizzer and let veronbeezus come back in to get the point, rather than let someone else poach the point on the back of veronbeezus's first musings and Ranko's big clue.

Edit: Oh, I see veronbeezus already has while I was typing the above. Good!

As you were so close the first time veron, it's a definite case for bending the rule.

You get a point veron, and must pose the next question.

Thanks Ed/Balthazar. I didn't quite know what to do as veron was indeed so close with his first attempt. I would have suggested a point to veron also.

Well done veron!
