20 Questions

I am thinking of an object. Use yes/no* questions to figure it out. If you don’t get it in 20 questions or less, I win.

A couple notes:

1- The count goes up for each question. Anyone and everyone can ask questions. Any question I answer will go towards the count (see notes 2 & 3). Repeat questions will not be answered (or go towards the count).

2- I will only answer one question per poster in between times that I get around to answering. After I answer, everyone is free to ask another.

3- If you try and be clever and ask compound questions, ("Is it X or Y, but not Z - that sort of thing), I will probably just answer the first part (“Is it X”), but I may decide to include more of it - completely at my discretion.

4- If you ask something like “Is it bigger than…”, I will default to volume as the metric unless you specify otherwise.

I may come up with other notes and caveats if they become necessary.

*there might be times that “maybe” or “most of the time” or something like that could be required.
