Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the classic game of 20 Questions, where one player thinks of an object and others ask yes/no questions to guess it. Participants express challenges in formulating effective questions and keeping track of answers. The game is initiated, with players asking questions to narrow down possibilities, leading to a lively exchange about strategies and guesses. Various objects are proposed, including vehicles and transport methods, with players attempting to refine their inquiries based on previous answers. The conversation highlights the importance of strategic questioning and the fun of collaborative guessing, with humorous interjections and playful banter throughout. Ultimately, the game showcases both the intellectual challenge and social engagement inherent in this classic activity.
I suppose it would be fair.

(Is a bicycle less than 10 kg? I'm sure I have seen lighter ones...) well here are questions I will leave you to choose from them:
Does it have more than 4 wheels? Excluding spares.
Is it curiosity the Mars rover? Perhaps it would be better to ask if it is common: we could just eliminate bat mobile, tanks, S.W.O.R.D.S and horse carraiges. Sorry poor joke.

Are the wheels propelled in any manner by a motor or engine that is an integral part of the object.

I didn't really get this question, and I still don't. But, it was *clearly* a smart question, since I didn't anticipate the answer. :-)
All I've got now is land yacht, which isn't as all that uncommon, or, maybe something like the lunar rover, with motors in the wheels? Though, I would consider wheels integral ...
Take us home, Edward!

I was thinking the car/vehicle's engine might be the answer, but the last answered questions are confusing...

Not that good. I was thinking about a velvet mite. It asked about 30 questions before giving up. It wrote "Is it a woodloose (insect)?"... The woodloose is NOT an insect, it's a crustacean!
Then it stated that I contradicted its knowledge 5 times:
Does it live in a forest? I answered "sometimes", its thoughts are "No".
Can it jump? I answered "no". Its thoughts are "probably".
Is it boring? I answered "no", it wanted a "yes".
Does it live in the grassland? I answered "sometimes", it wanted a "no".
Can one find it over a desk? I answered "sometimes", it wanted a "doubtful".

Those items are all commonly seen, if not necessarily in the west. Which aren't members of the set that fits our previous queries.

Then perhaps we should ask if it is dragged or pushed by carbon based life forms...:what:

OK so far we have determined that it is a not commonly seen, non self propelled land transport. It is bigger than a microwave and weighs over 10kg. It is not black. It is man made and is smaller than a house.
I don't think that we got an answer to the question in post #21by KC Smallz. For convenience I will repost it here.
Is it used solely for transporting people?
Edit bolded for clarity.

Someone mentioned the number of wheels but then never really asked (I think)
LOL OK so does it have fewer than four wheels?

I have several guesses here, except all weigh less than 10 kg and/or are not uncommon, i.e. bicycle, unicycle, 3 wheeled baby carriage, pogo-stick, stilts, rickshaw ... uh, a wheelbarrow at a dive bar used to carry out drunks? Is a jet pack used for land transport?
