I wonder if, once people get a little bored with these current rules, we could have something a little more challenging. Say something like ...
  • 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"
  • If there is a false assumption, or the question makes no sense, 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).
  • More?

I hope you were just being silly. Perhaps it would be more interesting to reduce the sit-out time instead. Since there are more questions available one week would tend to make the game drag on.

Maybe we can just delete a random account for each wrong answer?
