Re: Q20
I wonder if we could construct an elaborate tree of compound boolean expressions and ask the question giver "is this true?" and then modify it and ask again, systematically eliminating as many questions as possible in order to ask n questions in m turns with n < m.
A logarithm is just a misspelled algorithm.

Seeing as Zach asked a stupid question, I can let you have 21 guesses. Honestly, I thought you would have got it by now, especially as you were extremely quick to nail down the sportsperson bit. Guess there arent many tennis fans here.
