...1. Twenty countries 2. Twenty to none 3. Twenty letters 4. Twenty questions In the game of 20 questions, one person selects a target object, and the other players can ask up to 20 yes-no questions to determine what the object is.

(or "Animal, thing or person?") and "What color or colors are you?", in order to create a realistic goal. Mathematical game strategy says that each question should be designed to eliminate half of the remaining possibilities, as 20 such questions would lead to a single one out of over a million starting possibilities being identified. But it takes a while to develop such restraint, and not just guess hunches!
