Nah, I'm alright, although I would have got a Klaxon by now if I were still playing...

Well I'm going to give you a clue anyway. You can't do it in the countryside (where it isn't illegal, practically by definition.)

I may have it!
(or a klaxon!!!)
I do not know (forgotten) the correct term for it, but is this QI anything to do with the 'Urban Running' craze???
Are the objects on a course of some kind, where you have to get a card marked, proving that you have been there??

Iain Banks has written about his propensity for Drunken Urban Climbing, which is something that I've indulged in in the past 
. Is it related to that?

Massachussetts Avenue connects them. Harvard square would qualify as the flush toilet. The MTA Orange line is all above ground, Police cruisers all smell like Harvard square ... and MIT is indeed the place where you can find some really stupid scientific ideas, like putting a smelly police cruiser and some bent tinfoil on the roof.

Welcome to QI , Kilted.
Have a DGI for "putting a smelly police cruiser and some bent tinfoil on the roof." I am impressed you know of it's olfactory qualities, been up there yourself?

Harvard Square, yes, and Mass Ave, and in the river Charles. It all smells of a public toilet, just like the police cruisers. But the answer to the question is ... (Drum roll, please) All have door locks that will only operate from one side.

Why not go ahead and create your own thread, we need as many elves as we can and you'll get an automatic +2 bonus.
