It would be helpful if we had access to all four screens so that we could compare and figure out how the algorithm is operating. One and a half screens are not enough.

Also, the links to the attachments are irrelevant to this question.

It seems to be a binary test. Each yes/no answer provides only one bit of information, which trims any list down to a 16th of the original list. From a list of 100, that still leaves 6-7 values after 4 pages. Don't see how it can work without 3 more queries.

Seems to me you get more than one bit's worth of info per screen but not enough to do it in 4 screens.
