RULES

1. Only binary questions may be asked.

2. If a binary question does not have a yes-or-no answer, the question master must not count the question.

3. All other binary questions will be answered and count towards a twenty-question limit, regardless of whether they were designated as 'conditional'.

4. One guess per person does not count against the total twenty questions, but additional guesses by the same person do.

5. After all twenty questions are answered, there are no more free guesses, and five total guesses are allowed.

6. No player shall ask more than two consecutive questions or make more than two consecutive guesses (or a consecutive combination thereof) before another player has asked a question or made a guess.

7. Before the twentieth question is answered, players who have not yet used their free guess may choose to expend their free guess alongside two consecutive questions.

8. The question master may choose entities real or fictional that are not horribly obscure, so long as they are not repeats.

9. Whoever guesses correctly takes over from the previous question master; if they do not want to do it, they may choose who to pass the duty onto or just give it to the first volunteer.

10. If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, after the third time they must either pass it to a person of their choice, or the first volunteer takes over.

Guess away!

200lbs? He's a human, not a tuna! Enough of this ridiculous Yank speak :razz:

What Jamie means to ask is whether he's over 14st 4lb?

Whilst we're in the habit of using inappropriate units, is he equal to or over a fathom in length?

(for those of you unfamiliar with fathoms, there are 11 fathoms in a chain and 80 chains in a mile)
