Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Noname on October 08, 2009, 05:29:17 AM: To play this game, the poster has to think of an animal, vegetable, or mineral. Then, they must tell the players which one of those three it is. The posters then have 20 posts to guess what the item is, by asking questions, and then when they think they have enough information, by asking "is it a_____". Whoever guesses it gets to go. If no one guesses it, the original poster of the question says who goes next.

And the questions have to be in a YES or NO format.

I'll begin.

I'm thinking of a mineral.

Is it a grasshopper?

No!

Do humans commonly like this creature?

Humans only usually feel bothered by the adult form.

Is it a Cicada?

Nope!

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on October 12, 2009, 07:59:50 PM: I want to guess "Is it a Termite?" but I'm not going to because we've wasted almost all our questions on specific bug species. People, when you want to guess a type of bug, instead guess a question that would confirm your guess, and knock out a bunch of others at the same time. Take my actual question, which is:

"Does this species have a queen?"

(This question knocks out termites and bees and a few others, instead of just termites.)

-It is an insect.

-It flies when it is an adult.

-Can annoy people when it is an adult.

-Not a colonizing insect (not a bee, wasp, hornet, ant, or termite)

-Not a grasshopper, locust, cicada, mantis, cricket, or mosquito either.

-Lives underground for most of its life.

Is it a kind of beetle?

Okay, you guys are down to your last guess. Take all the information you have, and good luck. :)
Title: 20 Questions
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on October 13, 2009, 12:57:36 AM: Another breakdown:

-It is an insect.

-It flies when it is an adult.

-Can annoy people when it is an adult.

-Not a colonizing insect (not a bee, wasp, hornet, ant, or termite)

-Not a grasshopper, locust, cicada, mantis, cricket, dragonfly, or mosquito either. (dang, we wasted a lot of votes)

-Not a type of beetle.

-Lives underground for most of its life.

I'm not guessing. I have no clue.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on October 13, 2009, 01:33:20 AM: Wise decision to back out, LB&T. Anyone else?
Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Noname on October 13, 2009, 09:14:10 PM: Last guess... crane fly. It flies as an adult, spends most of its life underground, is not a colonizing insects, is NOT a locust, cricket, grasshopper, dragonfly, beetle, or cicada, and it can certainly annoy people.

Even if it meets the criteria, I could still be wrong if you picked another one that matches what you said. I also thought it could be a kind of moth...

To recap: Crane fly. Final answer.
Title: 20 Questions
Post by: pokeplayer984 on October 13, 2009, 09:51:04 PM: Sorry!

The answer is...

The antlion. :)

Now, some of you are thinking of the one that digs traps in the sand and are saying that I lied. Well, not really. You see, the truth of the matter is that the one form of antlion everyone knows is the larval form of the particular insect. It does indeed spend most of it's life underground. However, when it's time, it forms a cocoon of sand and silk. After only a few weeks, it comes out as an adult, flies off to find a mate, and then after mating, it never eats again.

During the time it searches for a mate, it most likely eats pollen or nectar, but some still prey on the insects they hunted in their larval form. (They actually eat more than ants. Pretty much any insect that is foolish enough to get too close.)

Also, in some cases, if they land on a human, they deliver a small, bothersome bite.

Hehe! Got you guys good, huh? :)
Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Noname on October 13, 2009, 09:55:11 PM: Does it annoy humans? That was an important criteria... if it doesn't, that was a flawed set of questions... or, at least that "annoying" part. I chose the crane fly over several others because of that (antlion was not one of them at this point, but aphid was, and I would have added more to the list over time.) <_<

Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Noname on October 14, 2009, 02:03:29 AM: He says who he wants to go next. If he doesn't show up in a day or so, you can go because he and I already went.

And make sure the question and answer criteria match. If you are unsure about a question's answer, you can look it up online. If anything, it is my fault for not mentioning that in the first place. :slap

Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Noname on October 17, 2009, 07:18:38 PM: Okay: to recap

- It is usually eaten unprocessed.

- It has some green on it

- It IS edible

- It starts with A-M, but NOT the letter C (Not cabbage, not cauliflower, not broccoli, not Brussels sprouts, not carrots, peas, not zucchini, not squash, not pumpkin, not potatoes, not arugula, not tomatoes, not taro, not oranges, not olives, not onions, not radishes, not rutabaga, not wheat, not soy, not sugarcane, not strawberries, not raspberries, not parsley... etc)

- Has no wood on it

- Does not grow to be larger than a human (but might eventually?)

- Not a "vegetable that adults and kids would not prefer eating." This one is a terrible question. Really. It is only based on an opinion, not a fact. The question can be totally different depending on the personal tastes and experiences of the one who asks and the one who answers.

-NOT a root crop.

Post by: Noname on October 17, 2009, 08:10:37 PM: Don't be sorry, that helped me a LOT!

If it doesn't start with or before "I", and it only goes up to "M", it can only start with , J, K, L, or M"

And since Kale is a root crop, it isn't that!
Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Amaranthine on October 17, 2009, 08:32:19 PM: LBT told you that? haha, he lied. :p

It DOES start with a letter before "I". :p
Title: 20 Questions
Post by: Noname on October 17, 2009, 08:34:24 PM: Actually, YOU messed it up, Rat Lady.

I asked "Does it start with or before the letter "I"? "

And you answered:

"@Noname: Nope sorry"

So now, it DOES begin with a letter before I. This means it is "A, B, D, E, F, G, or H" (no C)

It still cannot be apples or bananas because those grow on trees, which have wood. It could never be pears, now that I think of it...

Anyway, as a note to all other players, make sure you get the "yes" or "no" answers correct. Don't say "no" when it really should be answered "yes", and vice versa.
