Misleading?
I took 5 minutes today (once we got the network back up 
) to play 20Q online.
I won, but the site claims I gave it misleading information with these answers, what do you think?
- You said it is classified as Mineral, I say Other. [I would say it is closer to vegetable than other, but I still think mineral is correct... Nylon? Anyone? Aren't you supposed to be able to limit anything to animal, vegetable or mineral? Should there even be an 'other' option?]
- Could you send it in the mail? You said Yes, I say Doubtful. [I have mailed mine, on more than one occasion]
- Is it more valuable than silver? You said Unknown, I say Doubtful. [I don't know how much silver is worth, therefore it is unknown. Pound for pound it could be comparable, I paid a pretty penny for mine]
- Does it display information? You said Sometimes, I say No. [I have seen many that were used for advertising and therefore carried a logo and/or info]
- Is it decorative? You said Sometimes, I say No. [It is sometimes decorative, if not explicitly so. Mine is quite lovely, and it matches my rig - I am such a girlie girl]
- Do you use it at night? You said Sometimes, I say No. [Of course you can use it at night. Drop zones charge extra for that, the military counts on it]
- Does it fold up easily? You said Depends, I say Yes. [Have you ever tried to fold a parachute - it ain't that easy, and if you get it wrong there is a MAJOR penalty...
]
- Is it used to carry things? You said Partly, I say Doubtful. [I was unsure about this one but, really, it is used to carry a person (or supplies, I guess) that is it's whole purpose. Right?]
