Solitaire, glad to hear the Archive's being used. 20 Questions (Vol. IV) - Page 20 2752390508

Speaking of which, I better update it with Puck's game.

And now time for one of those "let's narrow down which book it's first mentioned in" questions that I like to ask...

3. Is it first seen in a book with 'of' in the title?

EDIT: Just a reminder, folks... when posting the answer to your 20 Qs game, can you post all the previous questions, including the game-winning one? That way, there's a more complete record of the games in the Archives. Thanks! 20 Questions (Vol. IV) - Page 20 2752390508

3. Is it first seen in a book with "of" in the title? No.

PAH, while roaming around in the archives, I did find another duplicate. Games #22 and #220 duplicate the park where Snape met Lily. Interestingly, both are Julia's games. I must say, you certainly have put a ton of time into categorizing the games in all of the different ways. That is a MAJOR archiving feat, particularly in such a short time. Tell me ... do you have a Time-Turner?

Did I run two games with the same answer??? Oh... 20 Questions (Vol. IV) - Page 20 1242326132

4. Is this tangible object magical?

5. Is it first seen in an even numbered book?

Sorry, PAH, I thought after that I should have added it all. I had kids calling me and didn't want to keep Soli waiting. Thanks for editing for me.

1. Is it a tangible object? Yes.
2. Is it seen in more than one book? Yes, it is.
3. Is it first seen in a book with "of" in the title? No.
4. Is this tangible object metal? I'm not sure we are told, but I am assuming that at least some of it is metal.
5. Is it first seen in an even numbered book? No, it isn't.

Julia, I wouldn't worry. I just thought it was an interesting bit of Forum trivia. Smile

The games were two-and-a-half years apart, and it was probably before PAH began archiving. The archives make it a lot easier to avoid duplicating ... although I'm pretty sure it is still possible to do so, if one doesn't search the archives with the right wording.

I actually don't remember how long it took me to put the 20 Questions Archives together, with the answer categories, on WX. I just remember archiving it, a little bit at a time, while watching TV. I just like to organize info. and there was a lot of info., in the various Potty Games threads, to organize. 20 Questions (Vol. IV) - Page 20 1003735042

12. Is this object found inside Hogwarts Castle?

Hm... Q4 originally was "Is this tangible object magical?" - but it's good to know that some of it can be metal anyway. 20 Questions (Vol. IV) - Page 20 464751818

Boy, I am just making one mistake after another. I remember thinking it was an odd question. Now I know why ... I read it wrong. I think it's time for me to fold up my laptop and take a break once this and the hangman are done. I'm obviously either exhausted or losing my eyesight ... or both. 20 Questions (Vol. IV) - Page 20 3276373137
