The first person thinks of an object/person/place/idea, and people ask a maximum of twenty questions to try to narrow down the list of possibilities.

Anyone can try to guess what the object is at anytime but if a guess is made before the first twenty questions are asked, the guess counts as a question.

A game is completed when a person guesses correctly. The next game starts when the person who made the correct guess announces that he will be starting a new game or calls open floor.

If you post a question or a guess, you must wait until two other people have posted questions/guesses before making another post.

I'll start the first game. Try to guess what I am thinking of.

EDIT: Ask only yes or no questions.

1. Does it have arms and legs? - No
2. Is it ever alive? - No
3. Is it a machine- No
4. Is it fun? - No
5. Does it have a uniform composition? - Yes
6. Is it an element? - No
7. Does it exist on the earth? - Yes
8. Is it a solid? - Yes
9. Is it silicon dioxide? - No
10. Is it metallic? - Yes
11. Is it larger than a person? - No
12. Is it fictional? - No
13. Is it an eating utensil? - No
14. Is it an alloy? - No
15. Can you kill someone with it? - Yes
16. Is it a ruler? - No
17. Is it a weapon? - No

So that all you have to do is go to the latest posts to see where we're at. You don't have to scroll around searching for crap, it's all right bloody there.

That and editing old posts is weird.

Is it a cannon ball"

I dunno, scanning the first page doesn't exactly take alot of effort, although that may change as we move deeper into the thread. Also it can't be a cannonball, as cannonballs are weapons.

Question: Is it a Pure Substance

Well it takes more effort then just looking at the last posts, which is how everyone does everything in every forum game pretty much.

Also cannon balls aren't weapons, cannons are weapons, cannon balls are ammunition.

All twenty questions are used up. You can no longer ask a question to narrow the list of possibilities; you may only guess a specific object.

I'll provide some hints to speed up this game:

1. A diamond is not carbon. A diamond is made of carbon.
2. A hammer is not a weapon. Its primarily a tool.
3. http://www.ou.edu/cas/zoology/premed/mcat3.gif
