20 Questions
Rules:
Rule #1: Questioners ask Yes-or-No questions (Please number your question)
Rule #2: Answerer responds with a Yes or a No
--The two exceptions to Rule #2
"I don't know."
"I can't answer."
Rule #3: If it's your turn to pick something you have to pick a solid,(you can't pick things like energy, gravity, helium...)
Rule #4: Whoever guesses the right answer, gets to go next.
We'll start off easy, I've thought of something, ask away.
is this 20 questions per person? And, you have to give us a clue to start out with--animal, vegetable, or mineral. Or, if you prefer, person, place, or thing.

17) Are they sold/available to buy for the public?
17) Are they sold/available to buy for the public?
yes
i can't answer that
why? is it because you don't know what it's made of? or is it because it's made of different things. No, this is not a separate question.
It's time for a clue, please, since you are being so hard-ass on the number of questions. (When I play, we usually don't count--just keep asking questions until we guess it or we give up)
i couldnt answer that because it wasnt a yes or no question, the number of questions is the name of the game lol, but after the 20th question i'll give everyone 1 guess.
it was a yes or no question. Is it made wholly or partially of metal? yes or no?
I wasn't making a distinction as to wholly or partly--I was just wanting to know if there was metal in the object.
I play "as many questions as it takes until you get it, and I'll give you a clue if it starts to drag, and only if you want a clue"
does lumberjims response make that question #19 or just an answer - which if not the correct (don't think it is) one can be construed as a question - i hate to use the last question
#19 - does it hold liquid
#19 - does it hold liquid
no it doesn't
Okay, I'm having a problem with flexible office products. Is it . . .
a paper fastener? (i.e., one of those you put in file folders to hold papers in)

#20 - no, since that was the 20th question everyone gets one guess as to what it is, cloud you can take another guess too.
the scientific thing has got me - duh huh
you guys want me to just tell you?
a ruler
you got it, cloud wins
(takes a bow)
well, I was going to say that before, but you said it doesn't come in different sizes. I've got a 12 inch ruler and a 6 inch ruler, as well as a yardstick.
That was my thought, but the only one size threw me. I happen to have a ruler 6" long x 1/2" wide, a ruler 12" long x 1 1/2" wide and an 18" long x 1 1/2" wide. I also have metric ones. Just me bitching - carry on.
sorry i was looking right at the ruler on my desk, which is a standard ruler (12")
Here is a hint - It is a ruler.
okay, I have one: animal.
This means anything from the animal kingdom.
does it walk on four legs?
does it walk on four legs?
no
no.
Clue: It is not AN animal; it is a thing which comes from the animal kingdom.
Waitaminute, I call bullshit on one of Rexmons' answers--rulers are rigid! What good is a ruler that bends?
clobble, a thin metal ruler bends....even a wooden one bends slightly.....or else we wouldn;t be a ble to make the boi yoi yoi yoing sound you can make by holding a third of it down on the edge of a table and 'diving boarding' the other end.
#2! is it brown and sticky? this is really #3, but .....hey

I call bullshit on the *same size* thingie, but they are flexible. I have a flexible one...its fun :)

sorry to disappoint, but no
no.

:whofart:
#7 - Is it normally found outdoors?
yes, it is found outdoors in its natural state. (It's from an animal, remember?) But . . . as used by humans, it's frequently found indoors.
is it honey?
no, but good guess
Is it a food/drink?
nope. inedible
10 - Is it used in manufacturing?
10 - is it found naturally in the western hemisphere?
10 - is it found naturally in the western hemisphere?
it's possible, although most come from other places
10 - Is it used in manufacturing?
yes, but it's not the most common use
does it live in perfect harmony with ebony?
nope. But you're getting close!
is it something that can be worn?
is it something that can be worn?
Good one.
is it something that can be worn?
yes
come on, you guys, you're so close!
sorry, just got back from lunch. is it a fur?
well no. I'm pretty sure fur occurs commonly in the Western hemisphere, nor is it used in manufacturing. Is it? (tries to imagine furry machinery). Plus someone suggested pelts.
No fur, or hair.
Is it bigger than a breadbox? :)
Is it bigger than a breadbox? :)
no
is it body jewelry
no. what I'm thinking of is made by animals other than man.
when i said ivory she said it was close...
And she said the same when you asked if it could be worn.
What animal products can be worn? Wool? She said it wasn't fur or hair. Can't be wool. Leather? nope. tortoise shell? Seems unlikely. Besides, that's very western hemisphere. Coral beads? Seems pretty unlikely, also western. The excretion of lac bugs? Do they put that crap in hair spray? I know it's used for furniture finish and is collected in India. Maybe, but seems like a stretch. I won't guess that.
Damn if I know. I'm stumped.
crocodile skin would fall under leather too... maybe it's the magic unicorn horn from "Legend"
Aaaah! You're so close!
18 questions have been asked, but I don't care. If you give up, I'll tell you. or you can just keep asking questions.
YAAAYYYYYY! Pearls it is!
wouldn't that fall under jesters jewelery question?
no.
a pearl does not equal body jewelry.
In fact, real pearls are unsuitable for body jewelry, because you're not supposed to get them wet.
I'm up for another round, if Clodfobble would care to choose an item.
Oh hell, I'm not going to be able to be on often enough for another fast game. I forfeit my turn, the next person to post may have it!
