Let's Play a game.
I'm giving you the following list of names (All female):
Miki Howard, Cathy Podewell,Cynthis Szigeti,Uma Thurman, Billie Holliday, Lisa Bentwright, Pamela Peadon, June Haver, Jan Nagyova, Paula Jai Parker, Dorothy Dwan, Marilyn Miller, Leelee Sobieski, Diana Ross, Judy Garland, Cecile de Volanges, Ginger O'Hara, xxxxxxx, yyyyyyy, zzzzzzzz
You need to fill the names into the following chart:
A:_____________ F:_____________ A1:__________ A2:__________ A3:__________ A4:__________ FA:__________ B:_____________ B1:__________ B2:__________ B3:__________ FB:__________ C:_____________ C1:__________ FC:__________ D:_____________ D1:__________ D2:__________ D3:__________ D4:__________ FD:__________ E:_____________ E1:__________ E2:__________ E3:__________ E4:__________ FE:__________
Each turn you can make four guesses, and ask one yes/no question about how the chart and list works.
One turn would be:
Is Miki Howard A? Is Cathy Podewell B3? Is Cynthia Szigeti C1? Is Uma Thurman D2? Is the chart in alphabetical order?
And I'll give the answers. (In this case all "no"). |

No. You were allowed to ask three more (it'll take forever if you just ask one at a time. And you are allowed to ask about how they are to be entered. (There's a very straightforward logic to this and the list of names.)

Okay, to shamelessly bump up interest in my own thread I'm adding a feature to my game:
You also have a list of years: 1925, 1927, 1939, 1946, 1949, 1972, 1978, 1978, 1980, 1980, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1999, 2003
And I'm adding Pascale Bardet to my list of names.
Each turn you can ask:
four name questions ("Is so-and-so in such and such a spot") which I'll answer yes/no One year question in which you pick a year and I'll tell you where it goes. (no yes/no; I'll tell you exactly where the year goes!) One general yes/no question about how the chart works.

Whoops, I was thinking "E," but typing "D."
Is Billie Holliday E1? Is Billie Holliday E2? Is Billie Holliday E4? Is Diana Ross FD?

Your thinking might be right but unfortunately there's a slight curve and your guesses are all wrong.

FD
> Does the game have anything to do with movies?
Yes, it has quite a bit to do with movies.

Geographical? Now how in the hell would I do that? (to paraphrase Buck McCoy)
1925, 1927, 1939, 1946, 1949, 1972, 1978, 1978, 1980, 1980, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1999, 2003 > > > > > You need to fill the names (bold) into the following chart: > > > > > > > > > A:_____________ F:_____________ > > > A1:__________ > > > A2:__________ > > > A3:__________ > > > A4:__________ FA:__________ > > > B:_____________ > > > B1:__________(1992) > > > B2:__________ > > > B3:__________ FB:__________ > > > C:_____________ > > > C1:__________ FC:__________(1999) > > > D:_____________ > > > D1:__________ > > > D2:__________ FD:__________(1925) > > > E:Marilyn Miller > > > E1:__________ > > > E2:__________ > > > E3:Judy Garland > > > E4:__________ FE:__________ > > (Currently unlabelled Slot for Pascale Bardet) > > > > > >
