This game is much like the classic 20 questions, where a person thinks of something, and everyone else tries to guess it by asking strict yes or no questions. However, in this version there is no predetermined right answer. Instead, each new poster flips a coin to determine the answer to the previous question before asking a new question of his or her own. After 20 answers, the last poster has to determine what object fits all 20 answers. Providing an image is requested!

1. Is (or was) this person or thing ever alive?

(flip a coin)

Seems it wasn't.

2. Was this thing generated by natural forces?

oog: I think this has some awesome potential.

Coin flip says no.

Question 3: Are we dealing with an item larger than a car?

(kitoba could you use your first post to keep a running tally of questions and answers so we don't get lost?)

This reminds me of one of Tailsteak's old features - 20 questions with a coin - which he'd use to quasi-randomly determine what to draw next. Anyway,

YES, yes, it is larger than a car.

1: This was never alive
2: It was not generated by natural forces
3: it is larger than a car
4: Is it mass-produced?

Our sources say 'no'.

Is it larger than an average-sized house?

I've been using a computer program that gives a random answer. Which, incidentally, has answered 'no' again.

1: This was never alive
2: It was not generated by natural forces
3: It is larger than a car
4: It is not mass-produced
5: It is larger than a house
6: It is not located on Earth
7. It is not fictional

8: Is it currently in orbit around the Earth?

@ FB - It's ok, I think we can assume that "never theorized by humans" means prior to this game.
