20 Questions #2

Postby Selma in Sandy Eggo » Thu Jun 01, 2006 2:04 pm

I know a number of legitimate classical works that have been adapted to field shows. Excellent. Consider that a gratis clue. But don't all get to guessing at once, I'll need to do some homework so I can answer the yes/no stuff accurately. :big grin:

I have selected the 20Q opus. I will answer guesses as soon as I do that there homework.

Selma, thanks for the info on band piece in the other thead.

Now that one game is done, do we have a limit on the number of questions a person can ask? Of course, this one doesn't count. :P

i think 30 is a fair number for total questions, based on the first game. i don't think there should be a limit on questions asked, only on guesses. since then people will just shoot out wild guesses as early as possible.

question: is it before 1800?
