As Long as it Takes…

I’m thinking of an object. What is it?

OK, dámnìt, fûçk most of the rules… Just ask away! I wasn’t planning on posting rules, but I’ve since changed my mind:

  1. Please submit Yes-or-No questions only, and only one at a time. With certain questions, I may provide an answer other than Yes or No, but please try to formulate a question that would require either answer.
  2. Wait until the previous question is answered before asking a new one. If at least 8-10 hours has elapsed since the posting of the previous, unanswered question, you may then submit a new question without waiting longer. It’s OK if two or more people submit a question almost at the same time, resulting in more than one new question.
  3. The object is precisely but fairly chosen and the final “winning” question must be very specific; i.e. if the object is a 1966 Porsche 911 S (which it is not!), merely asking “Is it a Porsche?” will not suffice even though it might receive a “Yes” answer. A question such as “Is it a 1966 Porsche 911?” might result in a response such as “Close”.

    Is it Mineral? [Yes]
    Is it vegetable? [No]
    Is it Animal? [No] (Note that more than one can get a yes answer)

    [Note that the answer to a previous question indicated that neither the object nor a major component of the object was ever alive. - RDL]

    [The comment poster objected off-line to my note above, citing poop as an example. Since poop usually is a result of undigested byproducts of things either vegetable or animal that were once alive, I believe my previous note is still valid! - RDL]
