Twenty Questions

Debbie: ... Well, there isn't much time left. Shall we have a game for a change?

Bill: Yes. How about Twenty Questions?

Debbie: Bill suggests Twenty Questions. Does everybody agree? Yes? And who's going to be the challenger? - You, Cathy? Fine. Write the name of the object on a piece of paper. Ready? Here we go then ...

Mike: Are we looking for a special thing?

Cathy: No.

Julie: Hmm. Is there one in this room?

Cathy: No.

Bill: Is there one outside somewhere?

Cathy: No.

Brenda: Oh dear. Three noes already. We've got to be careful with our questions. Is it alive?

Cathy: No.

Mike: So it's not a plant or an animal. Is it man-made?

Cathy: Yes.

Mike: Ah! Now let me see. It’s man-made, there’s no such object in this room, and there isn't one outside either. - Is it something useful?

Cathy: Yes.

Mike: Where does one use it?

Debbie: That kind of question's not allowed, Mike.

Mike: Oh yes, sorry! It's got to be a yes-or-no question. - Does one use it in the home?

Cathy: Yes.

Mike: So you use it in the home. - Do men use it?

Cathy: Yes ... why not!

Julie: Now what kind of answer's that?

Debbie: It probably means both men and women can use it.

Mike: OK, so it seems everyone uses it.

Cathy: No, not everyone uses it, but anyone can use it, except perhaps small

children.

Julie: Oh gosh, it's getting complicated. - Does one use it every day?

Cathy: No, not every day.

Bill: One doesn’t use it every day. So it’s not a kettle or anything like that. - Let me see. Does everybody in this room have one?

Cathy: No, not everybody in this room, I suppose.

Brenda: Not everybody has one. But every family? I mean ... every family in this country?

Cathy: Well, I don't know. Perhaps not every family, but most families.

Brenda: Do you use it to clean things?

Cathy: Yes.

Brenda: Does it make a noise?

Cathy: Yes.

Brenda: So it's some sort of household appliance?

Cathy: Yes.         -

Brenda: A washing machine?

Cathy: No.

Mike: A household appliance that cleans things and makes a noise, but not a washing ma­chine? Is it a ... vacuum cleaner?

Cathy: You’ve got it, Mike. Congratu­ lations!
