RULES

1. Only binary (yes/no) 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 how stupid they are, or 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 shall be 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. Anyone trying to ask more than two consecutive questions shall be forced to wear the hubcap of shame for 12 hours.

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 schlub that walks in off the street.

10. If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, something has gone very, very wrong.

Aaaaaaaannd .. GO!

Is this a real human being born somewhere other than Asia?

(For Asia purposes, I'll go with the region shaded green in the first map at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia.)
