A variant of this market. (Several details are different, so read the whole description.)
I have picked a noun from https://randomwordgenerator.com/. Your job is to guess the concept that is represented by that word. If the chosen word has multiple possible meanings, I have picked one arbitrarily.
Each user who isn't me gets to ask two YES or NO questions about the concept, which I will answer honestly.
If the question was "is it [concept]?" and the answer is yes, then I'll manalink you M$50 and resolve the market to YES. Otherwise it resolves NO once 20 questions have been asked.
I'll be of medium forgivingness when it comes to similar concepts. If my concept was "number" and you ask "is it 'integer'?", I will answer no. If my concept was "butterfly" and you ask "is it 'insect'?" I will answer no. (Though of course if you ask "is it a type of insect?", I would answer yes.) If you ask "is it 'beverage'?" and it was 'drink', I will answer yes and you'll win the game, since those are synonyms that both refer to the same concept. (This game is about nouns only, so it couldn't be the verb "to drink".)
Remember that this market is about the concept, not the word. Questions like "does it begin with an 'H'?" are invalid.
Any questions attempting to use this to divine other information that I don't want you to have about me are also invalid, as are any questions that are too hard for me to answer, such as due to requiring exensive research.
Questions that are too vague or ambiguous are invalid.
If you ask an invalid question, I will simply tell you that it is invalid, and I will not explain why. This doesn't count against your question limit, so you're free to try again.
Meta-questions about the rules of the game also don't count against your limit.

@IsaacKing I like the idea of 1 questions per user, unlimited questions overall. While it might seem the market would always easily resolve yes, I think the idea of losing/winning based on the number of people interested in the market is more interesting than the idea of losing/winning based on whether or not people collectively ask bad questions to intentionally force a NO.
@Jacknaut @IsaacKing, yeah, I like that idea. I think that there could be a time limit instead of a question limit
Is it "qualia experienced by humans" OR "any concrete unit of measurement" OR "a word that describes some general class of quantities"
Examples: red, consciousness, nausea OR dollar, pound, bit OR money, weight, information
(Current information: it is something non-physical that was experienced, gotten, or received by one of isaac's friends, but it is not an emotion or an action between two or more people)
