This market will resolve positively if anyone guesses the character I am thinking of (may be real or fictional) before the close date (a week from now). Each qualifying participant may make two guesses, in the comments. There is no limit to the total number of questions asked by Manifold collectively.
Asking "is it [character]" counts as a guess, as does asking a yes/no question to which I will reply one of "yes", "no", or "null" (which means I don't know, or the question isn't applicable, or for some other reason I'm unable to answer it yes/no).
To guess, you must be an active Manifold user and not an alt created to prey on markets where there's an advantage to having more bettors such as this one.
I will attempt to answer reasonably promptly (within 24 hours), and will not bet in my market.

I believe the main characters on Star Trek shows satisfying all current criteria are Jean-Luc Picard, William Riker, Geordi La Forge, Wesley Crusher, Benjamin Sisko, Julian Bashir, Miles O'Brien, Jake Sisko, Chakotay, Tom Paris, and Harry Kim. These can be run through by binary search in a max of 5 questions.
So, second question: does the character appear in the list I've written here?
@TheSkeward Is it one of [Jean-Luc Picard, William Riker, Geordi La Forge, Wesley Crusher, Benjamin Sisko, Julian Bashir]?
@TheSkeward Well, my money’s on Picard. Also, @IsaacKing‘s earlier “is it human” answer helps a lot here!
