Challenge 9: Just The Facts, Ma'am
« on: July 17, 2020, 05:03:43 pm »

This is the city. Los Angeles, California.  Over four million people live here. But outside of Los Angeles there are 7 billion more people. There are also lots of places outside Los Angeles. Sometimes police officers need to identify famous people, places, or things. That's when you go to work.  You carry a badge.

For this challenge we will basically be playing 20 Questions.  The mods have selected four answers, each of which is a famous person, place, or thing. You will ask yes-or-no questions for each one until you have identified each answer.  Whichever tribe identifies all four answers with the fewest number of questions will win immunity!

Scoring will be done by question, not by post. So if you make one post that asks a question for each answer, then that counts as four, not one.

Jake Peralta is sitting out for the Strike Team.

Are outside resources allowed at all for this?

You may do research on people, places, and things. You can't use any online 20 Questions games.

Compound questions are allowed, but we will be parsing the conjunctions to answer the question you ask and not the question you think you asked.

All answers will be either "Yes" or "No", with the exception of what my family calls the "Gary Coleman Rule".  The Gary Coleman Rule allows the moderator to say "Primarily No" if an answer of yes would be technically correct but horribly misleading.

This rule was enacted after a game of Botticelli where Gary Coleman was described as "a politician" and a postgame fight broke out.

ALL ANSWERS WILL BE NON-FICTIONAL THINGS

So no Harry Potter, Narnia, or Light Sabers.

Sorry this wasn't in the original rules; the idea that people would play with fictional options as part of their standard ruleset honestly never occurred to me and I'm not gonna make you all burn questions.

You may not rabble, or play scrabble, or babble instead I recommend you play

Why would you post one of the answers? Dobble took us at least 500 questions to get and you just freely gave it to the other team...

Making this quick.

Answer 1 was Kim jong-Un!

Narcotics took 14, Strike Team took 12.

Answer 2 was the Eiffel Tower!

Narcotics took 12, Strike Team took 10.

Answer 4 was John Lennon!

Narcotics took 18, Strike Team took 11.

Here comes the tricky one.
Strike Team took 20 to get "tuba", Narcotics has not gotten it yet but mathematically cannot catch up. Strike Team wins immunity!
