    Game
In summary, the Answerer thought of an object, and other players took turns to ask Yes/No questions to him. If they figure it out with less than 20 questions, the Askers win, otherwise the Answerer wins.

I get the impression we're heading towards a trap.

Hmmm. Chariots were used for war, sulkies for racing ... Neither is really a transportation device, though I suppose that might be an over-strict interpretation ...

What else?

Perhaps, though all the ones I've ever seen have four wheels, and they're quite common in the French Quarter. Also NYC.

That's not really about transportation, though nicely outside-the-box lol!

Getting from point A to B *is* transportation. Nevermind if you mess up the dirt along the way :biggrin:.

Point taken. But, agriculture is an industry, right? (HA!)

Is it drawn by a horse? Unless anyone has a better idea...

:biggrin: Point taken here as well.

I like the chariot idea.

That would eliminate the ox-cart lol. And maybe the sulky, since, and who knew, they are sometimes pulled by dogs (is there anything that dogs can't do? I mean, aside from advanced math?)

BTW, in regard to agriculture being an industry, no one said "not when you do it with a horse!" I'm ashamed of all of you. :(

I like the chariot idea.

But, and this is an absurd objection, chariots were used for both racing (gambling) and warfare, two of the top three industries in ancient times. If someone used a chariot to transport prostitutes back then, it would be a trifecta.

I'm pretty sure I might definitely be over thinking this ...

I agree, Lisa. :thumbup:

Yes, that's it.
When you people talked about chariots few posts back, and rejected the possibility, I quite feared if I messed things up. Sorry if I did.

No, I think you played it very fairly. 16 questions FTW!

Uh, do we start again? And, no "velvet lice" (looking at you, MisterX :mad: )

Ah, I thought it might be a trap, as in "pony and trap". Not far out.
 
  • #86
So, and I know this from reading the 20 questions wiki, the winner gets to be the next answerer. Is that you, Lisa?

Unlikely definiton from urban dictionary: A douchebag who has little or no integrity and mainly like to hang with the opposite sex at a much younger age (mostly because they are naive). Best places to fine somebody like this would be Oklahoma or Southeast Alaska.

Holy Poopsicle! ROFL!

In my case, it's a character name from a Jack Vance novel.

BTW, if Lisa doesn't start a topic, I will. Except, now it can't be a Traz :(

I believe the first question is allowed to be "animal, vegetable, or mineral?" so, which?

Edit: if any.

Definitely not an animal or vegetable. A combination of minerals.

You're not asking Enigman, so I'll do.

Is it used on a daily basis?
