40 questions round 2

Uncwilly · 2010-11-16, 22:16

The rules as they currently stand:

1.) 4 hour sit-outs instead of 24.
2.)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.
3.)The only other comments allowed are suggested changes to the rules or requests for rule clarifications.

I'll start with "Animal".

Use caution in your questions, here be dragons.

Note: we should be careful of taking the answer to this too literally, since it's very possible that it is not a living animal, (e.g. a cow or fish) but anything that is mainly animal-sourced (e.g. milk, wool sweater).
Perhaps it would be a good idea, every 5-10 questions, to ask if the last 5-10 answers were actually relevant. Would that question be allowed?

I will answer yes. Your question is flawed and I could have properly answered no and been factually correct. Yes, gives you the answer to the question you should have asked instead.

Edit: This being only the opening salvo in round 2 is why you earned this grace. Later on, no mercy.

Yes, but it would count toward the total.

3) does it being made involve a mammal (not man) ?

Yes.

I would suggest that a new rule be added:
"Pedantry is mandatory, not optional."

4) is it made from a placental mammal ?

You need to capitalize the start of your sentences.
Yes
