		Sample questions could be "Is it in this room?" or "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" Lying is not allowed, as it would ruin the game.

		The optimal strategy translates into the tactic of asking very broad questions initially, such as "Are they male or female?", and asking very narrow questions towards the end, such as "Is she a character in Star Trek?"

		Twenty Questions is a game you can play at a party or to kill time on a road trip.

		The idea in Twenty Questions is that one person thinks of some object, and the other tries to guess what it is by asking only yes-no questions.
		If it is wrong, the user is prompted for the thing she was thinking of and a yes-no question to distinguish that thing from the computer's guess, and that information is added to the tree.
		If the guess is incorrect, the user should be prompted for the thing they were thinking of and a question which can be used to distinguish between the user's thing and the computer's guess.

	Bush to Limit Testimony Before 9/11 Panel
		The commission, which has 10 members and is bipartisan, said in a statement that it had also been informed by the White House that Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, had rejected its request that she testify in public about the intelligence reports that reached her desk before the Sept. 11 attacks.
