Now, for those who may not know how to play 20 Questions:
Twenty Questions is a spoken parlor game (or car game) which encourages deductive reasoning and creativity. It originated in the USA and escalated in popularity during the late 1940s when it became the format for a successful weekly radio quiz program.
In the traditional game, one player is chosen to be the answerer. That person chooses a subject but does not reveal this to the others. All other players are questioners. They each take turns asking a question which can be answered with a simple "Yes" or "No". In variants of the game (see below), multiple state answers may be included such as the answer "Maybe". The answerer answers each question in turn. Sample questions could be: "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" or "Can I put it in my mouth?" Lying is not allowed, as it would ruin the game. If a questioner guesses the correct answer, that questioner wins and becomes the answerer for the next round. If 20 questions are asked without a correct guess, then the answerer has stumped the questioners and gets to be the answerer for another round.

Rules:
1: Once you ask a question, the next person can either wait for the Answerer to answer your question, or can immediately ask another question. If the next person asks a question, without waiting for the previous answerer, the Answerer can choose to answer all unanswered questions, or just the last question asked. Whichever. Not allowing the answerer to answer all questions will decrease the amount of information all players will have about the answerer's chosen object.
2: Each player is only allowed one question at a time.
3: Since I'm a visual person, you can only guess by POSTING A PICTURE of what you think the Answerer's chosen object is. Your question will be disregarded, and it does not count as a question spent.
4. If Answerer isn't around to answer a question, 24 hours after the last question was answered, control goes to the next person who posts, at that 24hr mark.
5. "Maybe/Sometimes" is an acceptable answer.
