Grex Agora Item 22: Twenty Questions
Entered by papa on Sat May 20 01:38:21 UTC 2017:

I can't find the original post, but someone proposed this game several weeks
ago: http://barelybad.com/20_questions.htm
Let's play!

In addition to the rules on the linked page, I propose we conduct ourselves
as follows:
1. The game will be played in rounds.
2. The questioner who guesses the target with the 20th or earlier question
wins the round and the right to start the next round as answerer, or pass the
right to someone else.
3. If the target has not been guessed by the 20th question, the answerer wins
the round and may start a new round continuing as answerer or pass the right
to someone else.
4. Questions will be numbered accoring to the order they appear as response
items. Questions posted before a previous question has been answered will be
ignored.
5. Any Grex member may join the game as a questioner at any time.

***** ROUND 1 *****

Answerer: papa

222 responses total.
