No

FWIW, he's pouring a cup of coffee - not booze

Some sort of endurance drive, such as driving "X" miles, and/or "X" hours, without stopping?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #29 on:** October 27, 2014, 07:31:06 PM »

The distance travelled was not great; I don't think it was timed.

Is the cup of coffee thing related to the solution ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #31 on:** October 28, 2014, 03:59:32 AM »

It was peripherally involved.

Did he need coffee to stay awake in order to fulfill his challenge ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #33 on:** October 28, 2014, 04:48:11 AM »

Indeed!

So his feat was to drive as long as possible without sleeping ?

Far from that. The drive was less than 2.5 km.

oko94 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 28, 2014, 06:05:28 AM »

Why would someone need coffee to drive for less than 2.5 km ? I'm scratching my head...

Was he suffering from narcolepsy ?

Was he suffering from narcolepsy ?

To my knowledge, he was not so afflicted

More deductive reasoning is needed.

Is this Martin Bacon, the creator of multiple coffee powered vehicles?

Not Mr Bacon (nor Mr. Coffee). The automobile the puzzle subject used in this feat was absolutely ordinary and conventional.

Is he driving on a regular road ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #41 on:** October 29, 2014, 03:55:07 AM »

Not exactly...

Is he driving indoor ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #43 on:** October 29, 2014, 04:27:10 AM »

For part of his drive, his vehicle will be within a structure.

Was he driving on a railroad / underground track?

Not a railroad, or a track

Was the structure designed to be driven through with a car ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #47 on:** October 29, 2014, 07:46:43 AM »

Yes!

nicanary · « **Reply #48 on:** October 29, 2014, 07:50:45 AM »

Was he driving blindfolded ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #49 on:** October 29, 2014, 07:58:24 AM »

No - I think that would have been frowned upon.
