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”.

    Do you have one in your house? [No]
    Is it soley decorative? (Or asked another way, is it also functional?) [Maybe]
    Does it weigh more than 10 pounds? [Yes]
    Does it weigh more than 25 pounds? [No]
    As a decoration, does it sit (as opposed to hang, for example)? [Yes]

    (If we can only ask Yes/No questions, you should only be able to give Yes/No answers.)

    [When referring to a computer keyboard, the question "Is it used with one finger?" might receive a Maybe answer. Asking questions as "Can it be used with one finger?" or "Is it always used with one finger?" would provide clearer answers. Ask better questions, or ones that do not rely on objective interpretation! ;-) - RDL]

    Sorry, didn’t see that you’d modified the posting and now had rules. (Rules? Sheesh!)
