+seekerfamily Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 A general question - are the questions yes no answer or can we ask anything? Does this count as the first question? (now 2 questions) Link to comment
Odyssey Voyager Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) A general question - are the questions yes no answer or can we ask anything? Does this count as the first question? (now 2 questions) it would generally help things if you take a guess of the person first, then ask a simple yes or no question. hopefully it won't be subjective, like is the person tall?! although it might be important to know. and no, that doesn't count as your 1st question, ask another.
