I'm thinking of a thing. You have a week and at most 20 Yes-or-No questions to figure out exactly what thing it is.

If you get it right, you win!

I've put in a few questions, but you'll have to add your own from here on out.

The Rules

A couple of times per day at my discretion, I'll answer two unresolved questions about the thing by resolving each: the valid question that is bet the highest and the valid question that is bet the lowest (except "WILL YOU WIN?", which resolves at the end of the game).

Valid questions are those that can be resolved YES or NO and are new info. They don't need to be properly written, but it must be clear to me what's going on. Examples:

"Is it round?"

"ball"

"uhh i think maybe its the eiffel tower"

"is it a DOG or a CAT?!?" ⚠️ but careful, this one would be answered YES or NO without further explanation

If there's tricky compound logic, multiple questions in one, it's a troll answer, or I just can't understand the intent of it clearly, it isn't a valid question and will either be ignored or resolved N/A with prejudice.

However, if it's valid but I feel neither YES or NO is wholly correct, I will resolve PROB and not count it as one of your 20.

Resolution

🎉 If one of the questions I answer is the thing: 🎉

  • WILL YOU WIN? resolves YES

  • Bonus: M$200 prize to the person whose question got it right

😭 If you don't guess the exact thing within 20 answers: 😭

  • WILL YOU WIN? resolves NO

All remaining questions will resolve N/A.
