40 Questions - Round 1
 

From the 20 questions thread:

[QUOTE=retina;236398]I wonder if, once people get a little bored with these current rules, we could have something a little more challenging. Say something like ...
[list][*]40 questions[*]Absolutely strictly Yes/No only. No hints allowed. No "nope"s, or "yeah"s etc. No clarifications. No bold, italic, underlines. Just plain text of "Yes" or "No"[*][U]If there is a false assumption, or the question makes no sense [or is ambiguous], or some other thing that makes the question irrelevant then the answerer is free to answer either yes or no as they please (perhaps answering in such a way as to maximise confusion if they want).[/U][*]More?[/list][/QUOTE]

No reason why this can't run concurrently with 20 questions. :smile:
I'm going to change the rules for this one, [B]4 hour sit-outs[/B] instead of 24. Then we can see if this works or not a bit quicker. Anyone who asks a question before their 4 hrs is up gets an answer of my choice.

Strictly question, answer, question, answer ... A "yes" answer means you get to ask another question. If you don't ask again within 8 hours someone else can step in.
The only other comments allowed are suggested changes to the rules or requests for rule clarifications.


I'll start with "[B]Mineral[/B]". I don't think it is too hard so I expect an exact answer.

edit: I didn't realise there was still ongoing discussion about starting this. I apologize if I've stepped on anyone's toes. :bow:

[QUOTE=Flatlander;236460]edit: I didn't realise there was still ongoing discussion about starting this. I apologize if I've stepped on anyone's toes. :bow:[/QUOTE]Never mind. We'll see how it plays out. We can adjust the rules based upon feedback from this trial.

3) does it have multiple colors it can come in ?
