20Q Game 26

I probably should clarify. I’m not looking for a brand, but a purpose.

Alright so what kind of helicopters are there?

Military helicopter, weather helicopter, private helicopter, medical flight for life helicopter…

Could be something specific like Marine 1.

There’s MEDEVAC helicopters, attack helicopters,

Is it flown by a member of the military?

Marine 1 holds 14 passengers, so I think we can rule that out?

Is it common that 9+ ride in it though?

Wow, this game moved fast.

Not mentioned possibility would be a traffic helicopter.

Civilian helicopter possibilities:

Police
Med-evac
Sightseeing
Traffic
Charter
Personal

It’s probably the sheriff’s helicopter that just landed across the lake from me.

Yeah - I’m at the lake with the kids today. Jealous?

Does the helicopter typically carry people who are not getting paid to be in the helicopter?

(This would rule out police & traffic or narrow it to those two.)

My question was meant to be official, BTW.

    17.5 (twig) Does the helicopter typically carry people who are not getting paid to be in the helicopter? Yes ish I was really hoping to get thru this without hedging my answers. since I don’t know how to answer this, I’m giving you a half freebie.

Are you ice fishing?!? Seems like a bad time of year to be at a lake. That said, I am kinda jealous except for the sheriff copter, that doesn’t seem so good.

It’s not bad at all in the Phoenix area…

Okay, now I’m jealous. I want warmth!

you could also have cargo transport and ones for fighting wildfires.

Hmmm, what would be a yes-ish answer. Do traffic helicopters take occasionally take guests with them? Med-evac would have paid only half the time used.

I don’t think a traffic helicopter would normally have guests. But a Med-evac one would, as you said, half the time.

Fire-fighting and cargo wouldn’t, so while those are indeed possibilities I hadn’t thought of, in light of question 17 it seems to not be the answer. (I’ve never heard of a cargo helicopter, but I will take your word for it that they exist.)

I’m struggling with why there would be controversy.

Firefighting, police, traffic, cargo would all clearly be “no”.

Sight-seeing, charter, personal and med-evac would all clearly be “yes”.

Is there something I’m not thinking of?
