Some of you might be interested in this AI that plays 20 questions.

Are the wheels propelled in any manner by a motor or engine that is an integral part of the object.

I didn't really get this question, and I still don't. But, it was *clearly* a smart question, since I didn't anticipate the answer. :-)
All I've got now is land yacht, which isn't as all that uncommon, or, maybe something like the lunar rover, with motors in the wheels? Though, I would consider wheels integral ...
Take us home, Edward!

I was thinking the car/vehicle's engine might be the answer, but the last answered questions are confusing...

Not that good. I was thinking about a velvet mite. It asked about 30 questions before giving up. It wrote "Is it a woodloose (insect)?"... The woodloose is NOT an insect, it's a crustacean!
Then it stated that I contradicted its knowledge 5 times:
Does it live in a forest? I answered "sometimes", its thoughts are "No".
Can it jump? I answered "no". Its thoughts are "probably".
Is it boring? I answered "no", it wanted a "yes".
Does it live in the grassland? I answered "sometimes", it wanted a "no".
Can one find it over a desk? I answered "sometimes", it wanted a "doubtful".

Those items are all commonly seen, if not necessarily in the west. Which aren't members of the set that fits our previous queries.

Then perhaps we should ask if it is dragged or pushed by carbon based life forms...:what:

OK so far we have determined that it is a not commonly seen, non self propelled land transport. It is bigger than a microwave and weighs over 10kg. It is not black. It is man made and is smaller than a house.
I don't think that we got an answer to the question in post #21by KC Smallz. For convenience I will repost it here.
Is it used solely for transporting people?
Edit bolded for clarity.

Someone mentioned the number of wheels but then never really asked (I think)
LOL OK so does it have fewer than four wheels?

The only thing I can think of is Hand pulled rickshaws...

I have several guesses here, except all weigh less than 10 kg and/or are not uncommon, i.e. bicycle, unicycle, 3 wheeled baby carriage, pogo-stick, stilts, rickshaw ... uh, a wheelbarrow at a dive bar used to carry out drunks? Is a jet pack used for land transport?

Okay we have spent 14 questions ...I think...so unless anyone has any better questions--- is it pulled by an animal? i.e. except humans.

Ah, I dunno. I can't think of any items that would exist in the overlapping section of our Venn ...
I was going to ask if it has any wheels. Just because, maybe we're going down a blind alley.

Zero wheels are fewer than four wheels, too, which why I would ask that question.

Five questions left! So... any guesses? The vehicle is a two wheeled thingy [as it has less than four wheels; three and one seem a bit implausible..] pulled or pushed by an animal...used almost exclusively by humans and not goods...am going to google this one.:D
