May I propose a new round of twenty questions? And the winner should take over as the new answerer? And to be clear, it does not have to be any of an animal, vegetable, or mineral.

1) Is it animal?

1) No.
(Please note we're playing the Woolly Mammoth 9 variant).

Is it philosophical?

2) That's a hard question. Isn't everything philosophical in the truest sense of the word? Maybe.

3) Is it an event?

3) No.

Is twenty too many questions in this impatient day of age? Answers on a postcard...

4) Is it continental?

As in 'Does it resemble a continent?' or 'Is it from the continent?'?

Please publish your address for the postcard. I am 100% certain that no-one would use it for any purpose other than to send you a reply.

In the meantime, plese print off and stick the following to a postcard of your choice.

No. Let the hard-of-thinking stick to their attention deficit world. Twenty questions is a classic format and does not need any tampering.

Is, is twenty too many questions, one of the twenty questions? In which case I propose we have twenty one, or maybe since it's been asked twice and therefore may count twice twenty two. Then of course, there is this question which may or may not count,( although notice I'm being very careful not to ask if it does or not) which would make it a nice round 23.

In the sense of "does it relate to a continent" as opposed to global, subcontinental, insular, marine, aerial, otherwise or the like.
PS- It need not be the continent closest to Britain.

No, this is invalid reasoning. Only the questions asked by the Interrogators count. Questions asked by the Answerer are Off-Topic per definition.

4) No, it is not continental.

(Already it causes trouble).

5) Does it look like William Shatner?

5) No, it does not.

As ES asked the William Shatner question does that count as one of the 20?

Does this?

6) or 5) or 7) Can I eat it?

6) No.

(Answerer makes up the rules.)

In that case , is it the Forth Road Bridge?

7) No.

1) Animal? No.
2) Philosophical? Maybe.
3) Event? No.
4) Continental? No.
5) Look like Bill Shatner? No.
6) Edible? No.
7) Forth Road Bridge? No.

Is it the concept of self? My concept of myself is neither animal, nor event, nor continental, nor does it look like Bill Shatner even when going on very little sleep, nor is it edible, nor is it the Forth Road Bridge.

8) Concept of self? No.
7) Forth Road Bridge? No.
6) Edible? No.
5) Look like Bill Shatner? No.
4) Continental? No.
3) Event? No.
2) Philosophical? Maybe.
1) Animal? No.
