Ok so if this is against the rules that we are playing by I can ask a different question, but with 20 questions (at least on the Hungarian television show I used to watch as a kid) the first question is always the same, usually to place the ‘thing’ into a basic category, then the rest of the questions can only be yes/no.
So (ETA: Dr. Cox beat me to the first q) Q2: Is it living, non-living, or a concept?
