Why did no one guess "yurt" (with smoke coming out the chimney)? Pictures of yurts here, first one with a chimney: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yurt

Here's one from the inside with a wood stove, thanks airbnb:

It isn't a yurt. It doesn't look even remotely like a yurt, even a yurt with a chimney. It's obviously meant to be an axe. It has a clearly depicted edge and the 'smoke' would need to be be coming out of the side at a really weird angle. It doesn't even have a door.

My favorite is this one: A bear falls into a well. The depth of the well is 19.617 meters, and it takes the bear 2.0000 second to reach the bottom of the well. What is the color of the bear? https://qr.ae/pKqzpC
