When does EDA exceed TODA? Or put another way, when is a stopway not a clearway?

A clearway doesn't have to be suitable for an aircraft to roll along it. It could have ditches, soft ground, lakes etc.

A stopway has to meet some sort of criteria for allowing the a/c to roll along while coming to rest. It may be constructed to collapse in a manner that aids bringing the a/c to a stop.
Ah but you've just told me when a clearway might not be a stopway. The riddle of the day is about when a stopway is not a clearway.

No takers?...
