This was a thread started because any discussion we had on the guessing thread Acid was counting as a question.  The confusion is that he sent us on a wild-goose chase as we were told it wasn't of 'animal origin'...

There is a trick if it is a single word that would appear in the dictionary, which is to keep halving the range and you'll find a single page. Then you narrow the column, then the section and finally the word.

You can do that in under 20 without difficulty in theory.

I could see your plan when you asked that originally.

All the questions asked should really be doing the same sort of thing.  Trying to halve the remaining options, and with 20 iterations, it should be guessable.

On the new game I got an ambiguous no on textile.
I'm wondering now about the man made question, would it refer to the item or the material used, i:e a rubber dingy?

Man-made would mean it's been crafted by a man/woman - so it's not something in its natural state - such as a tree, a fossil, a stalactite, a river or indeed a lock of Mozart's hair.

A rubber dingy would be man-made.
