[teh_fuzz]

maybe im not as (this kind of game-savvy) but what are the rules?

I was expecting to see 20 questions from the OP that we would have to answer...

 

[Abcinthia]

Aren't the rules that we just have to ask 20 questions to try and work out what the OP is thinking of?

Ok question 1: Is it classified as Animal, Vegetable, Mineral or Other?

Are they? I dont know, hence my question

 

[porterjack]

Are there rules governing the answer scope?

I.e can he/she only answer yes or no?

I think so. That's the way I always played it at school.

Unless there is another game with the same name and different rules

 

[porterjack]

So he cannot answer your question
We might have to ask two questions to work it out
