    Lori asked me to make this thread for her.
    She won the last round and she will be the one answering the questions and guesses in this round.


    Twenty Questions is a spoken parlor game (or car game) which encourages deductive reasoning and creativity.
    Original idea by StrangerInAStrangeLa.

    The rules
    1. The player that won the previous round is the answerer in this round.
    2. That person has chosen a subject and does not reveal this to the others.
    3. All other players are questioners.
    4. Questions must be asked in such a fashion that they can be answered with "Yes" or "No". "I don't know" is of course also a valid answer if the answerer doesn't know the answer.
    5. Lying is not allowed, as it would ruin the game.
    6. If a questioner guesses the correct answer, that questioner wins and becomes the answerer for the next round.
    7. If 20 questions are asked without a correct guess, then the answerer has stumped the questioners and gets to be the answerer for another round.
    8. Only 1 question per person per 5 questions asked is allowed.
    9. When the answerer answers a question, the person who asked that question can take 1 guess.
    10. If less than 5 questions have been asked in 24 hours time from the moment you asked your question (so that's including your previous question), you can ask a question again irregardless of the fact that it would contradict rule 8.

    A record of all asked questions, guesses and answers will be kept in post 2.

    Ask away!

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Edit: Rules for simpletons below.

    Step 1 - Ask a question ABOUT the subject.
    Step 2 - Wait until your question has been answered.
    Step 3 - Take a guess as to what the subject in question is.
    Step 4 - Wait until at least 4 other people have asked a question, or until 24 hours have passed since your last question (whichever comes first).
    Step 5 - Goto Step 1.

    S.A.M. and GeoffP, neither of you took a guess yet. If you don't guess you can't win.

    One question per 5 questions asked. So there will have to be 4 questions by other people between your questions.
    After your question has been answered you can take one guess as to what it is.
