An ice stone is placed outside, on a large emblematic square of a city. We come to visit ORAKL at night. He is present long enough to use up his ice matter and its solutions or puzzles. A questioning-recording surface exists. It is a plaque placed on the ground on which are drawn two prints of the feet and the inscription: ASK ME A QUESTION.
